Good morning, WITCHES! 

For the first day of Fall we got to crack the windows and turn on the fireplace. Magnolia and I were in Heaven. Comfy + cozy makes our hearts the happiest. We host Halloween each year & our home really needed a new house guest -- Magnolia named him "Grandpa Golden." Pumpkins, ghosts, spiders, crows, & skeletons all making their way into our home for the funnest season ahead! 

As I type this it all seems like common sense now, but looking back I realize I was like most women with essential oils. I assumed they would provide only the best + natural health benefits without the risk. I believed in the power of plants, I still do, actually even more so now. 

My sisters and I went from playing with baby dolls to this! Our girls (and Ollie - not pictured) are the best of friends & when they are together it is literally NON-STOP LAUGHTER. As always, summer flew by way too fast, but I can tell you we made some magical memories. This pink camper session with pink flamingos & our girls in matching leopard print swimsuits was the best wrap up to our summer 2021. 

Two weekends ago, my sister and her family & ours, packed up our cars and very excitedly set out on a road trip to FLORIDA!!! Five out of six of us were very naive to what a 20 hour drive to the ocean would be like. Ryan warned us, but we insisted anyway. Oh what fun it would be!!! OMG it was B-R-U-T-A-L!!! We even stayed in a hotel at the halfway point in Tennessee. The kids did way better than the adults - thank goodness for iPhones + iPads and the ability to nap in the car. Magnolia said the coolest part of all was seeing all the cities and big buildings along the way, and I have to say the absolute worst part of all were some of the bathrooms we had to use. NEVER AGAIN. New roadtrip rule: EIGHT HOURS MAX!
