It’s officially Halloween week — the pumpkins are carved, the candy bowls are filling up, and the excitement is in the air! From costume shopping to decorating the porch, this season brings out the childlike joy in all of us.
At our house, we’re diving into all things fall — pumpkin patches, family movie nights, and a little bit of costume chaos! There’s something so special about the sparkle in a child’s eyes when they slip on their costume and step into a world of imagination. Whether it’s Brax trying on his favorite outfit for the tenth time or the big kids reminiscing about trick-or-treating days, these are the memories that stick.
But let’s be honest — all that excitement can come with big feelings, too! That’s where our book Big Feelings, Little Me comes in. It helps little ones understand emotions like love, joy, and even a bit of sadness when things don’t go perfectly. Because sometimes, managing those Halloween jitters takes a little love and a lot of patience.
So this week, as you juggle candy bags, classroom parties, and late-night storytimes, remember — it’s not just about the costumes or the candy. It’s about connection, laughter, and the moments that remind our children that they are safe, loved, and seen.
“Every story we share adds a little magic to their imagination.”
Here’s to a week full of sweet stories, spooky smiles, and memories that will last long after the pumpkins fade.
