Hot Mess and High Functioning Winging It, Pumpkins, and Permission to Be Real

Today we’re doing what we do best, winging it, and owning our “hot mess and high functioning” era. From budget-friendly fall fun to real talk on clutter, comparison, and parenting, this episode is a cozy catch-up with substance.

In this episode

• Pumpkin patch pro tip Hockessin United Methodist Church’s beautiful pumpkin setup, priced by the inch and sourced from a Navajo reservation in New Mexico. Free crafts, inflatables, and fall vibes for the kids without breaking the bank.
• Declutter confessional Fifteen bags of baby and toddler clothes out the door, plus toys and more—donated to Rose Hill Community Center’s clothes closet and Christmas Once-a-Month. What it felt like to ask for help, let go, and breathe again.
• Buy Nothing vs donation bins When to pass it along locally and when tossing is an act of kindness to your future self.
• Comparison is the thief of joy Why you can’t measure your real life against someone else’s highlight reel, and the power of a well-timed compliment to another parent.
• High-functioning habits Bucket-fill files for tough days, simple systems that keep kids and business moving, and permission to choose memories over mess.
