THE WEEKLY MEMO

October 2nd — October 8th

Buy Halloween Inspired Outfits — There are always gatherings/events around Halloween where costumes are not required/expected/ allowed. Our kids’ school “Halloween party” is the most prominent for us, where they can’t wear their costumes. So, let’s make sure we are all prepared. First, check your kid’s closets to see what they have. If you have something from last year, make sure it still fits. If you want to pick up something new, browse and get outfit inspiration. Here are a few favorites — THE BUY: HALLOWEEN INSPIRED OUTFITS FOR THE KIDDOS 

Master a New Spiked Hot Drink Recipe  〰 Tis the season for a nice spiked hot drink on one of the first cold fall nights. Find a new recipe you want to try, maybe invite a few friends over and enjoy! I am excited to try this simple, cozy spiked apple cider, so I will be adding the items I need to our grocery order this week!

Assemble Your Boo Bags 〰 Make sure you place your order for boo bag goodies or run to Target to pick up a few things. Then assemble your bags and decide with your kids who they want to boo. Once you have stuffed those surprise sacks full of fun and delicious items, attach a note to the bag that says something like “You’ve Been Booed.” (Just don’t include who it’s from!) 

Halloween Decorations — Reminder to Buy — The early bird gets the worm; make sure you purchase your Halloween decorations to get the exact decorations you want!

Holiday Cards — Choose Family Photo Outfits 〰 Make sure everyone looks their best. Plan what you and yours will wear for the photoshoot. Pick up anything you need. I love these family photo outfit ideas. 

Friendsgiving — Find a Date 〰 How wonderful that we will be able to gather for Friendsgiving again this year. Let’s give thanks for great friendships! Reach out to your friends and find a day that works for everyone.

Holidays — Organize a Work Party 〰 If you’re helping/planning your holiday work party, now is the time to pick the venue that suits the evening you and your team or you and your company want. The best venues get booked early, so don’t snooze on this to-do!!

Health — Flu Shot 〰 Pencil-in when you drop into your local pharmacy to get your flu shot.

This post is designed to take you from surviving to thriving for the week of July 31st!
