This week’s episode is a cozy catch-up full of fall fun and big family changes.

I share my daughter’s playdate with a Pinterest-perfect mom, the latest can’t-miss Aldi finds (hello, Thanksgiving kitchen gadgets and festive throws!), and all the local Halloween happenings around Simi Valley—from Spookytown to the Street Fair to a haunted mobile house on wheels!

Plus, I get personal about welcoming my mother-in-law to town and transforming the guest room just in time for the holidays.

It’s a week of comfort, community, and a little bit of chaos—in the best way.
