Trick or Treat? Celebrating At Home
Trick or Treat? October is right around the corner—cooler weather, hot chocolate, and of course, Halloween. What will Halloween look like during a pandemic? Many cities have already canceled Halloween’s typical festivities, such as Haunted Houses, large parties, and have even gone as far as recommending kids bypass trick or treating altogether.

Lessons By Lilly
⚠️ If you’re like me – you might need a tissue ⚠️ I can’t remember a time in my life where a dog, if not two, weren’t part of our family. Between dogs of my own, dogs bought for the kids, dogs the kids brought home, I’ve owned lap dogs, large dogs, purebreds, mutts, lost…
