Guess what is just around the corner friends? Halloween! It really is – especially if you are a planner like me. Well not like me, but like I am aiming to be. Last year I went a bit batty finding perfect pumpkin carving ideas for my kids. You see, I want my little ones to…
A Pumpkin Pinwheel
Did you know that I am afraid of horses? Well, maybe not afraid – but I am definitely nervous around them. They are so humongous. Once I was at a horseback riding camp when I was little and I got stepped on. My toe was purple for years and years! A purple toe for years…
Easy Preschool Halloween Decorations: Jack-o-Lantern Windows
We whipped out this gem of a Halloween craft the other day — and I just need to say – it might be the best quiet time activity I have come up with. Not to toot my own horn, but any activity that keeps my little ones engaged on and off for a week deserves…
Toddler Halloween Costumes
I mentioned yesterday that I am not one for spooky Halloween things. But I do LOVE Halloween. I mean, just seeing those tiny little people smiling ear to ear and dressed up in the cutest little outfits is enough to make my day. I have one little one who is still (sort of) okay with…

I have been wondering for a little while what to do with my older posts. Since I have been doing this for quite some time now, some of my old posts feel a bit awkward to me. I sort of feel like I was in that awkward teenage phase where I was trying to impress…
Chalk Ghosts
I bought these neat Halloween cookie cutters last year when they were on sale after Halloween for maybe a dollar. And the most incredible thing happened … I remembered I bought them! Well, I actually just stumbled upon them when cleaning out the junk drawer (which is actually another incredible thing – me cleaning out…
5 Little Pumpkins
I have said it many a time, but I will say it again – I just love celebrating holidays. And there is nothing quite like celebrating holidays with little ones. So we really live it up. And we start super early. October 1st saw our very first Halloween craft this year, and we have been…
