You're listening to the beautiful mess podcast.

This week we're talking about how to make your house feel like a home, including ways to

nest when you first move in and setting up a home that's appealing to all five senses.

We're also chatting about how our styles have changed over the past decade or two, and

maybe obvious, but we've got to talk about Hocus Pocus too.

Yes, we have to.

You do.

Well, happy October.

This is the first time we've recorded since it's been officially October.

I'm feeling it.

I went for a walk this morning and there was fall leaves everywhere and a lot of trees

turning orange where I live in Tennessee.

And it was just very beautiful and crisp and it was definitely the vibe that I was looking

for.

What about you?

Yeah.

I'm trying to get Oscar into picking up fall leaves with me.

So far it's not working.

He's only interested in sticks, really wants to pick up sticks still, which is cool.

But I'm like, look at this leaf, look at how orange it is and he's like, nah, mom, that's

not a stick.

Yeah.
