I have to admit that I did not come up with this idea all on my own. We were at another Halloween event and I saw a little girl dressed similarly as this costume. As soon as I saw it, I knew that it should be easy to create. And it has a time limit so
So…this is going to happen! And SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My kids have NO idea. If you know them and see them, HUSH! We are still not sure when we will tell them…on the way to the airport, at the airport, when we land…we just have not decided. They’ll obviously know we are going somewhere when we head
Our usual way of deciding on Halloween Costumes? I point to the dress-up bin and say PICK ONE! Not this year… It should be no surprise that my girls wanted to be Anna and Elsa for Halloween this year. They declared it during last winter. But I thought it would go away. It didn’t. Stella has

Last week Henry and I spent an afternoon decorating the house for fall and Halloween while the girls were in school. And, yes, I still swap out our books based upon the season. So out came a bin of fall, harvest, and Halloween books. Henry looked through them for a long time. It kept him
In a recent discussion, a friend was telling me that the Frozen stuff was STILL hard to find in stores. And her daughter STILL wanted an Elsa doll for Christmas. So I’ve been keeping my eyes out for her and others. Today I ran into Walmart looking for a specific hamper for Charlotte’s new room.
We live in a fun neighborhood. It really is crazy how everyone knows everyone (somewhat) and you really can send out a need to our Neighborhood Moms Group and get multiple replies within minutes. Need sugar? Check. Need a playdate? Check. Need size 10 ballet shoes? Check. So the other night we were BOO-ed. And
I really thought his obsession with baseball would end last summer (like an entire year ago) when baseball season ended. I thought he would suddenly switch his adoration to football and basketball…all sports in general. Nope. This kid LOVES baseball and mainly baseball.
