Labor Day is now officially behind us, which means we can finally stop pretending to care about any other season of the year — Summerfest is in full swing, seamlessly transitioning us into fall and full-blown Halloween mode. You may have noticed Halloween decorations creeping into stock at your local Target Dollar. Or maybe you’ve purchased a Dancing Wednesday inflatable from Lowe’s. Well, make room in your fall-loving heart (and home) for more spooky seasonal fun: Slumberkins just released a new Halloween collection that’s extra cozy and adorable.
While I sometimes feel a twinge of guilt over consumerism during this season (give me all the Halloween stuff!), Slumberkins is one of the few companies I never feel bad supporting. Backstory ICYMI: Best friends Kelly Oriard is a family therapist and Callie Christensen is a special education teacher when They started making their now-loved Slumberkins dolls while they were both on maternity leave. What started as a side project in their living room quickly turned into an all-out effort for the couple, who share a passion for raising children to be loving, confident and resilient. A woman-owned company helps parents enhance healthy emotional learning? Yeah, absolutely, love seeing it.
Which brings us back to the heartwarming brand’s new Halloween range, which parents and kids alike will want to keep after the spooky season is over. That’s all you need for this lovely collection.
