Every year Matthew and I wait until the last minute to plan our Halloween costumes. Ironically, we figure out what we want to be the next year right after Halloween. Then we forget and scramble. {of course!} Last year though, I was determined to plan earlier. Of course, being a new mama time escaped me, and I resorted to rush shipping. Thank you, Amazon. Luckily it worked out!
This year though, we made a point to plan at least three weeks early. That’s an accomplishment over here. At dinner one night Matthew and I said we weren’t going to leave the table until we finalized our costume. Ok, it was me, but he went along with it! We ended up on a Shark Attack because we thought it would be easy and funny- two good combos! I’m so happy with how it turned out. The one funny thing though, was that I ordered an 18-24 month size because I felt like it would fit perfectly in a few months. I wasn’t that early of a planner though. Definitely could have gotten the 12-18 size but at least he can fit into it for another year! VIEW POST
If there is one thing I love about welcoming back the holidays, it’s dusting off all my favorite holiday books. Some of you may know I was an English major at Berkeley and the best part about being an English major was reading all the time. Since having a little one to chase around the house, it has been so much harder to get in that quality reading time I was getting back in college. However, having Augustine around has helped me rediscover my love of children’s literature, and I’ve been able to make to fit in reading through audio books. Such a life hack!
One of my favorite books I read growing up was Harry Potter. In order to celebrate the spookiest time of year, and my love for Harry, I thought I’d reacquaint myself with this wonderful novel at the most fitting place!
