Your Local Lineup

November Edit

Nov 11, 2025

November feels like the warm-up lap before the big race. The calendar is starting to fill, but there is still space to get intentional. This is the week to get a jump on the season in your own way. One of the things I have been focused on lately is purging those summer clothes that are getting too small, and it feels so good to free up some space in the kid's closet. This week, I challenge you to pick one thing that usually sneaks up on you, like family photo outfits, the gift list, the pantry clean-out, or the closet, and just handle it. Trust me, small wins now make the holidays feel lighter later. You'll thank yourself later for starting early.

Trick-or-Treat Mode In Full Effect

Oct 28, 2025

Can you believe Halloween is on Friday?! I for one cannot. We have been planning our costumes since November 1st of last year, and somehow it still feels like a mad dash to the finish. Our moment is (almost) finally here...and I'm already thinking about next year's lineup. I know I'm not alone because SO OC goes BIG when it comes to Halloween. Between the spooky lawn setups, haunted trails, and those full-size candy bars that always make the kids lose their minds, there’s no shortage of festive energy in the air. If you’re still deciding how to spend the week, we’ve rounded up the best local events, last-minute costume spots, and family-friendly Halloween fun happening across South OC. Plus a few ideas to sneak in a little calm before the sugar rush. ;)

There’s something about this time of year—the warm glow of candle lights, the cozy porch pumpkins, the dark, crisp evenings—that makes even the busiest days feel a little slower. From pumpkin patches and night markets to haunted tours and new local eats, this month is packed with moments worth savoring. So grab your sweater (lightweight, of course) and let’s dive into the best of October around town.
