What we’re watching… The Politician on Netflix
Late to the party on this one, again. But, it’s sooooo good! It’s about a super rich high schooler with big ambitions. He wants to get into Harvard and become President. He’s got it all figured out, but he’s really struggling to hold it together.
It’s funny and smart. Just aloof enough to not make you feel too bad but also lovable enough to tug at your heart strings. Bonus: freaking Gwyneth Paltrow plays the mom!
What we’re obsessed with… Halloween Candy!
I’ve got a sweet tooth and I just can’t hide it. My kids got sooooo much Halloween candy this year. Between parades, Trunk-or-Treat, and actually Halloween, their baskets were legit overflowing. We’re down at the bottom of the barrels now and the kids are beginning to forget about it, anyway…. so that means IT’S ALL MINE, NOW!
If you missed it, here are our favorite Halloween candies to steal from our kids. Ladies, I’ve got no shame.
What we’re making…
We’re repurposing our Halloween pumpkins into really sentimental and beautiful gratitude pumpkins that can be used as Thanksgiving centerpieces. Courtesy of our fabulous contributor, Annie, we have this reflection on teaching our young children about gratitude combined with a great family tradition. Give it a read and give it a try.
