I am always honored to donate to the Family and Children Association. It was such a privilege to be assigned a senior to shop for this year. 

It may have been a bit rainy when we went to get our tree, but it was still so much fun. I am so grateful I was there with my sister and Jorell as they picked their first tree for their new home. It’s so exciting!

I am so blessed and have so much to be grateful for. I wanted to take a minute to express my immense gratitude for everyone who has been so supportive on my adoption journey. I truly have the greatest village.

So grateful to participate in the Long Island Cares Adopt-a-Family for Thanksgiving. We were given a food list and shopped for a family's Thanksgiving dinner. I want all families to experience the same joy and warmth that my family is so lucky to have.

My sister has been slowly decorating her new home and has been gravitating toward jungle cats in her décor and wall paper. So this year for her birthday a big cat theme was a no brainer.

Getting ready for the arrival of the new couch. I think we have plenty of room to snuggle a little one!

Check out the flower power to celebrate my Mom's birthday. My sister and I took it back to the 60's to celebrate my Mom's special day.

Back at the home show trying to get some unique ideas for our backyard. Now that my sister and I will be sharing a yard we wanted to see if we could get some inspiration.

Love never dies. Day of the Dead is one of my favorite holidays where we are able to celebrate all those who we love and lost.

We painted adorable ceramic ghosts while watching Agatha All Along. My favorite part is that they light up with all different colors! Enjoying handing out candy to all the trick or treaters. Can’t wait to have a little one to trick or treat with!

It's all just a bunch of hocus pocus. So thrilled to have spent time with all my favorite ghouls! We went to a Hocus Pocus pop up event where we were serenaded by the Sanderson Sisters.

We tried a new type of pumpkin decorating this year. I have carved pumpkins and I have painted pumpkins, but I have never used Mod Podge with flowers on pumpkins before.

Can't wait to have a little one to try all sorts of spooky treats with!

Trying to decide on a Halloween costume for this cutie. She sure does look pretty in a bow. Any suggestions?

Had a spooktacular time seeing all the fun spooky displays as we looked around Spirit Halloween. This is such a fun time of year! Can't wait to be shopping for family Halloween costumes with a little one!

So excited to welcome the fall season by visiting one of my favorite places, Hicks Nurseries. The setup was adorable! They always do a great animatronic story featuring Otto with a place for food donations with Long Island Cares. What I loved this year was all the cute giant lawn games setup outside.

My favorite purchase of the season so far are these mummy mice holding a candy corn. My sister and I decided to decorate the front of our homes the same way. We are in love with these cute mice.

I am obsessed with these beautiful pumpkin mums that my sister and I purchased at Stew Leonard’s. They look so festive!

My favorite bookmark this challenge was the Summer Shorts because it encouraged me to read a Kindle Vella. I read Spooky Cat which was a fun short story that helped me get in the spirit of spooky season.

I am so excited that it is officially the fall season. Fall is my favorite season and I can’t wait for the crisp sweater weather and cozy nights under a fuzzy blanket.
