We’re talking about the unknowns of Halloween, the costumes, the candy, and the confusion.
We didn’t grow up with it, so every year feels like we’re still figuring it out. From explaining it to our kids to asking why it has to be so scary, we unpack what this holiday even means for us now. 🎃
Come laugh, learn, and maybe feel a little more seen if you’re still trying to make sense of Halloween too.
We talk about Canadian Thanksgiving 🇨🇦, how quiet it feels, what “tradition” even means when you didn’t grow up with this holiday, and how we’re building our own for the kids, we think it should be simple too because it’s really the little things that become core memories.
There’s some turkey talk, a bit of nostalgia about Nigerian holidays growing up, and creating a sense of belonging for our kids in a new-ish culture.
We also share what we’re thankful for this year from good health and patient husbands to just surviving back-to-school season. 😂
Happy Thanksgiving, mama. 🧡
The days are long, but the years are short and nothing proves that more than back-to-school season year after year - it somehow drags us, but also goes by so fast. 🎒
In this episode, we chat about what that looks like for us: the scramble in the mornings, packing lunches (uggh), nailing down routines, chatting with teachers, and all the little things in between.
