A cup of coffee can’t fix everything… but it can help bring hope to families who need it most. 💜

In honor of Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month, this month's Brewing Hope partnership with Honest Coffee, we’re spotlighting Ryker’s Rainbow. Ryker's Rainbow is a local nonprofit supporting grieving and bereaved families who have experienced the loss of a pregnancy, infant, or child. 🦋 This incredible organization is working to bring hope, comfort, and connection to families during an unimaginably difficult time.

On October 14 from 7–11 AM, 10% of your Honest Coffee purchase (at either the Huntsville or Madison location!) will go directly to Ryker’s Rainbow.

Whether you stop in for your favorite coffee, want to learn more about this beautiful mission, or simply want to connect with others, Brewing Hope is an easy way to make a difference, one cup at a time. 🙌

🗓️ October 14 | 7–11 AM
📍 Honest Coffee — Huntsville & Madison locations

Sometimes the simplest things, like a walk at dusk, can mean the most. 💖

Light Up the Night for Cancer is set for October 11 at 6:30 PM at Hays Farm (1117 Haysland Rd SW, Huntsville). It’s an evening of hope, remembrance, and community support for those affected by cancer.

The t-shirt deadline has passed, but registration is still open. Participants can dedicate a glowing luminary in honor of someone special.

🎟️ Head to the Campsite link in our bio to sign up.

Light up the night and show what community looks like when it shines. 💫

Warning: Side effects of opening a MEL Science Box may include spontaneous learning, excessive “Whoa, that’s so cool!” moments, and kids begging for more math. 😅

We put this hands-on science kit to the test, and it definitely passed. 👩‍🔬

Perfect for homeschooling, science-loving kiddos, and anyone looking to sneak in some extra STEM activities.

Use code ROCKET50 for 50% off your first box, and let the experiments begin!

Sunshine ✔️ Live music ✔️ Tasty food ✔️ Good vibes ✔️ The Madison Street Festival was all that and more. 🌟 What a day!

From wandering talented artisan booths, dancing to local bands, showing off creativity and meeting some scaly friends, there was no shortage of family fun, community spirit, and sweet memories. 🥰

Huge thanks to everyone who came out to enjoy the fun, support local vendors, and make Madison such a vibrant place to be. ❤️ Can’t wait to do it all again next year!

👻 Looking for some spooky inspiration for your own yard this Halloween?

🪦 You’ve got to check out this graveyard of ghouls at 123 Mill Park Lane in Madison!
Skeletons, ghosts, and musical bones fill the yard once the sun goes down. What isn’t a graveyard is glowing with inflatables and lights galore. 💀

The display comes alive nightly at *6:30 PM! (Inflatables may rest in peace on windy nights.)

And if Christmas lights are more your thing? 🎄 Check back the day after Thanksgiving when we’ll drop our annual list and map of the best Christmas displays around North Alabama, including this one and tons of other dazzling stops!

🫠 Parenting in 2025 means realizing the playground classics have had… updates.

👉 “If it hollers, text your mama.”

And just like that, we aged a decade. 😂
