1. It’s never a bad time to shop for Sukkot. Just this morning a mom told me that she’s buying her family’s sukkah right now for next year. Turns out they’re all on sale, of course! This is also a great time to buy all the “Halloween” decorations—fake pumpkins, orange lights, etc.—that the stores are trying to get rid of. Personally, I’m waiting for the day after Christmas, when I plan to buy tons of lights to string up in my sukkah next fall.

5. My husband is a great sport. I dragged him into this project, and he actually thanked me! Turns out he had a fantastic time building the sukkah and bonding with Noah, and we all enjoyed entertaining friends and family.
6. There’s a sukkah for every budget and every ability. I saw one sukkah made from two pieces of lattice tacked to the side of a barn. I saw another with stained glass windows. I saw a sukkah that popped up like my kid’s toy tent and others that were great works of art.
7. Don’t eat your etrog. L
8. Think all that rain and wind was bad? At least it didn’t snow!
