Freeform Friday

I love any chance to get my kids in their Halloween costumes, so we're headed to a fantastic jack-o-lantern lined Halloween event this weekend where Glinda from Wizard of Oz and Darth Vader will unveil their festive looks. We also have a great evening with friends planned where we learn about drink a curated selection of wines that the guests all bring. Cheers to that.

I hope you have a  wonderful weekend, and I hope you enjoy my favorite links from the past week.
