It’s been one month since our Slack space got ✨upgraded✨! Boiled down to 3 bullet points:
Full, searchable history. Nothing gets tucked away after 90 days anymore.
AI recaps inside channels. Been away for a bit or short on time? Catch up quickly with channel recaps.
Larger huddles. We can now host 50 people in our huddles, making it a cozy "home" for our members-only events and our new virtual co-working lounge.
A GOODIE FOR YOU — These fancy markers for your own coloring fun
(Natalia R. notes, “I will not be sharing with my toddler 😇.”)
A GOODIE FOR THEM — This old-school, wifi-enabled “landline”
(Katelyn A. says, “hoping this avoids needing cell phones until they are much older.”)
A NON-SUBSCRIPTION — This subscription-free (!) wireless smart calendar
(Sarah P. says, “I didn’t want to pay a monthly fee for the features I wanted,” and notes there are calendars, chores, rewards, and meal prep!)
A RESOURCE — How to manage the chaos of multiple kids
(Sarah K. shared “in case it helps anyone else handle the chaos.”)
A RECIPE — This one-pot pasta and bean dish (20 minutes total)
(Katie R. notes she accidentally made it a soup by adding in too much bone broth — “It was so good though.”)

What’s your go-to, last-minute costume idea?
I've done "tourist" so high socks, Hawaiian shirt, sunglasses, some kind of lanyard or map to hold.
Everyone wears an ivory t-shirt w/ a letter on it and you can be scrabble pieces. Bonus if you put some thought into what letters they are and can rearrange yourselves to spell different things.
Minion: “yellow shirt or sweater, regular denim overalls, and I bought a yellow beanie to attach some paper eyes/goggles to, but you could also put them on a headband or just use construction paper.”
Farmer (overalls, plaid shirt, garden tool accessory) [or] a hippie (jeans, tie dye t shirt, peace sign in eyeliner on my cheek and maybe a tied head band) … they can work at any age/ gender!
Did a ghoulfriend forward this to you?
We hope to see you soon, either at an upcoming event or inside Slack!
