We’re getting Halloween ready this month at @citypointbklyn ! City Point is the perfect destination for us mamas and kids to shop, eat and play. A few of my favs:

@target - from costumes to home decor - they have the perfect selection this fall season, next stop: stocking up Halloween books at @mcnallyjackson. There’s nothing like a good spooky book to read to the kiddies. And last, but certainly not least at trip to City Point wouldn’t be complete without a stop at @campstores! ⛺️They have amazing activations in there all month long, and don’t forget to look for the secret door 😉!

On Thursdays we wear pink 💗, wait it’s more like everyday 🤣🤣. All kidding aside, October is Breast Cancer Awareness 🎀 month, and as most of you know this is a cause very close to my heart, as I have had close loved ones diagnosed with breast cancer. 1 in 8 will be diagnosed with breast cancer. I want to always be an ally to all the victims, survivors, and family members effected by this disease and finding a cure is an ongoing effort! We’ve rounded up our favorite designers and how they are making a difference this month now on the blog…a few to note:

@silkandsalt.fashion is donating 20% of their profits from their pink collection to Fighting Pretty.

@lele_sadoughi is donating 10% of the profits of her Pink Crystal Headband to BCRF!

@bakeithappen00 a movement I’ve participated in for many years is accepting donations.

@susangkomen still has races left to participate in during the month of October!

Here’s to Trick-Or-Treating all month long at @campstores! Yes, our beloved @campstores are having the best Halloween activities all month long! 🎃 #Ad

Last week, the girls and I got to experience all the fun! Everyday this month, kids can go inside a Camp Store and receive silly challenges and riddles from the counselors for the chance to get yummy candies like @sweetartscandy!

We had an absolute blast, but the fun doesn’t stop there! Camp Stores also have a spooky advent calendar online, where you can knock on the Halloween doors in the Ferrara Sweet and Scary Neighborhood to trick-or-treat virtually, win cool prizes, and possibly even a year’s supply of candy! Check it out at the link in my bio. Happy October friends! 🎃👻💀

Every year in October our family goes apple and pumpkin picking, and it continues to be one of our favorite fall festivities. We just love getting out of the city and into the country, indulging in fresh produce, yummy apple cider donuts, and petting all the farm animals. We rounded up some of our fav patches on the blog for all your pumpkin picking getaways, including the one we went to this year @hankspumpkintown 🎃💀👻 Happy Fall ya’ll!

As my children get older, and are on the internet a bit more these days, it is my #1 priority to make sure they are protected while on their devices.

Did you know that every 7 seconds someone is a victim to identity theft or fraud? I recently discovered @Aura_Protects which provides digital security that's effortless to manage. With an easy to use dashboard and alerts sent straight to your phone, @Aura_Protects takes care of your security so you don’t have to. @Aura_Protects protects everything I care about both online and offline! And helps keep my identity as well as my children's…our own! #AuraPartner #ad

Family decorating is something I’ve always made sure to make a part of my children’s lives from the beginning. Even before my kids were old enough to understand what the holidays were, I’ve always decorated our home no matter what occasion it was. I recently discovered @yearcheer and it is a must for families that love decorating their homes for the holidays and celebrating just as much as we do! Each box comes with decor, games, holiday book, and so much more! There’s one for every season, even 4th of July! Head to my blog for $20 off your first box! 👻🎃💀

Out with summer and in with fall. While fall is such a beautiful time for fashion, I also love it for decor. I’m so excited to be decorating for my first autumn in the new house. Pumpkins, pine cones, seasonal candles, and more…I’m going to try to control myself but I’m not promising to anything! What are you favorite fall decor pieces?
