The Mom Memo No. 37: Time For A Fresh Start

Hey Mama

We love a fresh start in the fall. That’s why we thought it would be the perfect time to update our look! Purple pastels, blues, and neutrals — we love this sweet and refined color palette. Download The Moms Society app on iOS and Android to check it out and connect with our community!

Reminder: Spooky season is here! Solidify plans for costumes and write a list of items you’ll need for homemade treats or goodie bags. Add ghoulish touches to your home decor and wardrobe with our favorite Halloween items.
