Don't let today's beautiful weather (currently 72 and sunny in Manhattan!) fool you—it just might snow on Saturday. Perhaps you should pack an extra sweater before heading out to trick-or-treat. Or, wear knit pumpkin hats like @suburbanwifedp to keep warm!

Nothing like coming home from trip & receiving biggest bear hug ever from 9yo. An hour later & my bones are still smushed. — Jennifer (@pinkmenotmom) October 20, 2014

I know l'll look back on this blog post after baby #2 is born & want to retroactively punch myself in the face: http://t.co/aSacUC3IkI — Jenn Falik (@jennfalik) October 23, 2014

My nearly-3-yr-old's at the golden age when he can repeat things but doesn't understand it all. Just got him to say "Come at me, bro!" #cute — Lauren (@laurensgotmoxie) October 22, 2014

Too adorable. Can you teach him to say "Run, Forest, run!" next?

LJ ran into school today, eager to show kids her missing teeth & chat about the tooth fairy, & a little shit told her the fairy wasn't real. — Tracy (@nystoopmama) October 23, 2014

Yikes. How do you handle it when your child's classmates and friends don't have the same beliefs about the tooth fairy, Santa Claus, etc.?

I spend my days with the happiest creature alive. I can't begin to tell you how joyful this child is. He's so happy, it's kind of heartbreaking.
