Tomorrow is the first day of October, my favorite month of the year! Maybe it’s because I was born in October, maybe it’s because of Halloween, or maybe it’s simply knowing that the best Texas weather is just around the corner. Whatever the reason, this month always makes me happy.
Our kiddos are already ready for Halloween! 🎃
