Links I Love: Week 41 Year 2025

Chicago is in full Halloween mode and it is always fun to see the city decorated. My husband and I enjoy walking Henri on the weekends and seeing all the pumpkins and skeletons. We are behind on getting our garden transitioned to fall. The weather has been unseasonably warm and in the 80’s still. Hopefully, we are able to get some pumpkins and mums this Sunday afternoon.

The brand just introduced a Blood Orange, and I am interested in trying it. If you are sober, sober curious, or just trying to reduce your alcohol consumption, I highly recommend these.
