Let’s use the spirit of Halloween to Help Us Be More Human All Year ‘Round 

on
Mom celebrating the Halloween spirit Halloween is a season of fun, costumes , and candy . Indeed, it has become a favorite of mine. The kids get excited about their costumes, and spending the evening visiting neighbors and receiving candy in response to their declaration of, " Trick or Treat "! All around the country, neighbors open their doors and give candy to anyone who shows up seeking it. Upon reflection, it is a beautiful tradition that embodies the generosity of the human spirit. I was talking to someone yesterday and commented about how much I have grown to enjoy it and wished that it could last for more than one night.

Wordless Wednesday (not really)...

This is what it looks like when my husband takes photos... It was taken yesterday. I asked him to take it because I wanted him to capture a moment. I was wearing a pair of suede shorts that my mother wore in college. She handed these shorts down to me and I also wore them in college. And because I am a pack rat, frugal fashionista who believes in wearing vintage clothing, I still have the shorts and I wore them yesterday. I was also wearing them because I am a busy working mom whose husband put the majority of my fall/winter clothes into storage in April after we closed on a house that we haven't moved into yet...

While some of you may question why I was wearing a Friday outfit on a Tuesday and others may be questioning why an attorney would be wearing suede shorts to the office at all, I encourage you to focus on the real issue.  I was wearing shorts that I wore in college and I had a baby seven months ago. I was kind of pumped about it and I hope you are too! :-)

(My daughter is in the very blurry photo because she bombed me. Who knows perhaps she'll wear the shorts one day too!)
