Eight years without my person. I miss her laugh, her dorky sense of humor, her peaceful little mobile home with birds chirping, her endless creativity and commitment to not wasting any scrap of fabric, her homemade gifts, her relentless and enduring love, and her unmatchable companionship. I am so blessed to have had the best mom in the world, but it makes it all the harder to be without her. It helps to see these reminders that so much of her is still with me, including her parading around in her silly homemade creations :)

Don’t let those pumpkins go to waste—you can bake them whole at 350 in a baking dish to catch the juices, and when it collapses and softens it’s ready to scoop out the flesh. Throw it into a soup or a sweet treat like this spice cake from The , which is so damn perfect with its moist crumb, tangy fresh cranberries and crunchy pumpkin seeds—and also happens to be vegan and whole grain!

This little witch is flying even higher knowing that her costume was previously loved by a witch before her. Second hand costumes cut down on carbon emissions and plastic waste and unrestrained consumerism in a multi billion dollar costume industry. They’re only going to wear it once—try to find it used or make it with what you already have.
