Summary

Grab a mini Snickers (and maybe something stronger than apple cider) because this is Halloween, Big Little Feelings style. 🎃 In this hilarious, no-filter episode, Kristin and Tyler spill their Confessions from the Candy Bowl: the candy they steal, the costume chaos, and the hot parenting takes that’ll definitely start fights in the comments. From kids who change costumes six times to parents who just can’t pretend to like candy corn anymore, this is the messy, magical, meltdown-filled truth about Halloween with kids. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, you’ll maybe find a M&M in your couch cushion. Because real parenthood? It’s a mix of magic and meltdown, and that’s what makes it perfect.
