Halloween just hits different in this season of life, doesn’t it?

Hey Reader,

Halloween rolled around this year, and I felt this tug—a little bittersweet, a little nostalgic.

As I am learning to "be" in this new chapter tonight is a reminder that things are different. The once busy days of girls dressing up, getting costumes, making the fun apps and having them here getting ready is no longer. This year, it’s quieter, and honestly, it’s a little strange. I’m finding myself missing the chaos, the excitement, and those exhausted-but-happy faces at the end of it all.

Halloween just looks… different now. There’s a bit of space where that fullness used to be, and I’m learning to sit with it, even when it feels a little empty. I’m letting myself feel it all—the nostalgia, the emptiness, even the peace that comes with a quieter evening.

I now look forward to pics of their costumes and the stories they will tell me (well the ones they will share LOL).

I spent a little extra time last night reflecting on what’s coming next, the new traditions I can create in this season of life. I thought if I feel this way, there is probably someone else in the community feeling the same.

For any of you who also feel a little out of sorts, know that I get it, and it’s okay to feel all the things. We’re in this together, and it’s a journey of grace, one day at a time.

How’s Halloween been feeling for you this year? Different, too? Hit Reply- I'd love to hear.

~much love, Rob

Good Morning Reader, Are you doing life alone? I didn’t do any of this alone. I’ve made it through every stage of life—from childhood to college to momming to midlife—not because I had all the answers, but because I had my tribes. College? I had my roommates and late-night chats.Early motherhood? I leaned hard on my mom-friends and playdate tribes.The teen years? Oof. I needed prayer, patience, and friends who just got it.College drop-offs? I cried after drop off texting my support...

Happy Friday Mama, Have you ever wondered why so many people are now "sensitive" (not celiac) to gluten? Is it really the gluten, just the gluten or could it also be something else? The little bumps on our (me and my daughter) arms and upper shoulders would come and go. The gut issues, the autoimmune issues. At first, I thought: Welp, gluten sensitivity. Time to cut it out. But something didn’t sit right. So on my health journey I dug deeper (as us mamas tend to do when our gut says, “This...
