I had been thinking (already!) about Pumpkin carving ideas for my Sammy. It is tough – pumpkin carving with a 3 year old. They are too little to carve, but I knew Sammy would want to do more then paint. So, as I was pondering, a light bulb went on (ha!) What about a Lite-Brite…
Amazingly Creative and Easy Baby Halloween Costumes
As I have mentioned, I am a big fan of any Holiday or Celebration! My wee ones and I love Halloween. Choosing costumes is something we spend a lot of time thinking about each season – as we like to make our own as much as possible. I decided to search on Pinterest for some…

We really enjoy these Fall Books – I hope you will to! Leaf Trouble written by Jonathan Emmett is a colourful,…

Craft time in our house this morning! Sammy decided we should do some painting today. With the chilly fall weather this morning, I thought it was a great day for a Fall Craft.
