What cast of characters did you have in your inner circle this year?
.
.
This year we had a sweet black kitten, Spider-Man, and Steve. 😻
.
.
Halloween went pretty smoothly tonight until it came time to prepare for work + school tomorrow!
.
.
Particularly when the teacher springs a surprise ‘comfy day’ on us at the end of the week with less than 24 hr notice on Halloween. Complete with an invitation to bring special breakfast treats + drinks 👻

Costumes at school: YAY or NAY?🎃
.
.
Does your school allow it? How do you feel about that? 👻🎃🧛🏻‍♂️
.
.
GQ has never been able to dress up for school, not even when he was in daycare.
.
.
I used to think it was such a shame. Now I understand better the ‘why’ behind it, but as a child of the 80’s I still think it’s kind of a bummer. 👩‍🎤
.
.
That being said, it’s a HUGE load off my plate to not have to deal with costumes + holiday treats for school on top of everything else! 🤷‍♀️😅
.
.
However this day looks for you you’ve done it just right. Even if it doesn’t feel that way. You deserve candy! 🍭🍬🍫

Her face tho...🥰
.
.
This girl just radiates pure joy.
.
.
She makes absolutely everyone feel such love. I just wish I could squeeze her 24/7!
.
.
BTW isn’t the bear darling? My brother-in-law brought it from Russia when we got together this summer. His mom actually made it for her by hand!
.
.
Isn’t that the sweetest?

It’s been a week since we celebrated 10 years with this sweet boy. 🥳
.
.
This photo is the first photo we ever posed for together. ☺️
.
.
I share this photo every year around his birthday and realized I hadn’t yet done so this year. So here you go!
.
.
I still cannot believe it’s been 10 whole years that I’ve been blessed to have his beautiful soul in my life.
.
.
Such an incredible ride it’s been so far!

Just like that... 🍂🍁🍂
.
.
I love the transition from summer to autumn. It marks my most life transforming experience - becoming a mother.
.
.
This weekend we celebrate my sweet GQ and his milestone birthday. A decade of Grant.
.
.
I am forever grateful that he chose me to be his mama.

I'm SO late, but Ms.Camilla turned 8 Months Old the other day! 🎉⁣
.⁣
.⁣
And no, you didn't miss the 7MO photo...I dropped the ball + missed it completely. 7️⃣⁣
.⁣
.⁣
It's not even that I forgot, it's just that she's not nearly as easy to photograph as she used to be. Girlfriend 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘰𝘵 sit still + cooperate! 💃⁣
.⁣
.⁣
Even here, she's got that tongue out and is clearly fixin' to start crunches to get her booty back up + moving away from the 📸!⁣
.⁣
.⁣
So I never found the 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 time to take her photo + the time just got away from me. ⏳⁣
.⁣
.⁣
Do your babes cooperate when it's requisite photo op time? Do you have any #momhacks for me? Help a mama out my loves 👇👇👇⁣
