10 random things in October 2022

1. Family Halloween costumes are so much fun – especially when they work out better than you ever planned. Did you see ours? I can’t believe Dottie Hinsin actually shared our picture too!
2. I hate to jinx it but Arbor has been sleeping through the night at least 5 days of the week. We’ve never had a baby who sleeps so I’m pretty pumped! It’s truly thanks to A Restful Night for helping us to sleep train her a few months back!
3. One of my favorite things about having a blog is connecting with people. Before the pandemic I enjoyed attending and hosting different types of events where I was able to meet so many followers or persons I follow online. It’s been so long since I’ve been able to do something in person, so you can only imagine my excitement that I’m attending not one, but TWO, in-person events in November. If you’re in Connecticut then these are for you:
   1. Sip and Shop at Saybrook Home with Mahi Gold Outfitters – Get starting early on your holiday shopping (or making your wish list!). There will be lite bites and beverages, 15% off, and the chance to win a Dudley Stephens!
   2. A Fall Gathering with Caitlin and Xfinity – Join me for cocktails and snacks, crafts and prizes, all while visiting the most beautiful Xfinity store in CT. An RSVP is required and tickets are limited.
4. I’m not a HUGE shopper, but I go through periods where I save to purchase a few pricier items I know will last a long time. With that being said, I made a few purchases recently…I know I will be wearing these shoes, my new fav white button down shirt, and this coat for many years to come!
5. TELL ME LIES – Have you seen it yet? The show is so intense, completely inappropriate, and a must-watch. The finale was insane – and I can’t wait for Season 2.
6. I’ve been loving these sweaters (and so much more) from Summersalt and they are giving you 10% off your order with code CAITLINHJS10! Their cashmere is marked at a great price and so cozy! I’m wearing this sweater under $100 below:

7. I’m not quite sure how I did this, but I signed up to be a Room Mom for both Annabelle and Ailey’s classes. It feels especially overwhelming since I’m the coordinator for Annabelle’s class, but I’m sure I’ll figure things out. The girls are thrilled I’m helping out and I feel very thankful to be able to. Monday will be the first day since February 2020 that parents are allowed in the classrooms for holiday events!
8. I am a big fan of Dry Shampoo… and happy none of my favorite products are on this recall list for being linked to cancerous chemicals.
9. The girls’ have started their Christmas lists for the Grandparents and how cute is this and this? Annabelle really wants both kits!
10. I’m still dairy free but really craving a REAL cheese-y baked pasta dinner sometime soon – something like this or this by HBH. Why do all of her recipes make me drool?!
