Those of you with kids, you know how every now and then a moment comes along that just goes tinnnnnggg like some sort of wonderful reverberating triangle and you have this glorious unreal sense of reliving one of the best memories from your own childhood and it’s like the universe has somehow pulled itself inside out because this time you are the parent and no matter what anyone told you, you had no idea it could be this good?

That’s how I felt tonight standing with my husband at the end of a darkened driveway watching our boys, in their twin cowboy hat silhouettes. Two small figures walking up to the door by themselves, Riley blaring “TRICK OR TREAT!” as soon as someone appeared. Dylan’s helium-tinged voice squeaking out a thank you. JB and I grinning like fools.

It was such a fun day from beginning to end. Oh, these boys. This life.

• Stuff I Like:

  Eureka Enviro Floor Steamer. Why did I not buy this YEARS ago? WHY? OH MY GOD MY LIFE IS FOREVER CHANGED. Neutrogena Healthy Skin Clear Skin Cream. Maaaajor difference in my skin since I started using this. I alternate with Pond's so my face doesn't get too dried out. Magic Bullet. I use this almost every single day to make a smoothie. Really a surprisingly awesome little kitchen tool. Neutrogena Revitalizing Lip Balm. Amazing lip balm that gives natural color and somehow makes your lips look more full. Voluspa Candle. Discovered via Jennie. These candles smell wonderful (at least the Goji/Orange scent does), and I love the pretty tin. NARS Flamenco Lipstick. Whoorl was right, this is the perfect red lipstick.
