Is it even October if we don't go to the Harvest Festival?!? 2020, 2018, & 2017 all say so! 2019 doesn't and that's because I planned a trip over the first weekend of October WHICH I WILL NEVER DO AGAIN because this pumpkin patch is the one my tradition loving heart as attached too! HAH! The good news is that I learned my lesson and I am very good about getting it in my calendar in enough time to not double book myself. This year the girls are a little older (a year to be exact) and ... continue reading...
Eczema Hair Care
This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx on behalf of Flexitol. For as long as I can remember, I've dealt with dry scalp issues.

I also found some Halloween Coloring sheets on Etsy that I printed off for the girls to use their new ... continue reading...
Handprint Monsters
This is our third toddler friendly Halloween craft of the week! We're having a fun little week of Halloween crafts to celebrate the month of October. Every morning Hilde asks me to make another "spooky craft" so we're having tons of fun around here! These little monsters were so fun to make. I got out the old "craft basket" filled with all kinds of random doodads for gluing projects! It was a bit messy (aka we had sequins all over the floor after the craft explosion) but they came out so ... continue reading...
