I saw a meme the other day that said – Me: takes spider webs down with a broom. Me: hangs fake spider web up for Halloween (with a picture of a guy with an annoyed/disgusted look on his face as the spider). It made me laugh out loud because it’s so spot on!! This is […]

Our beloved Halloween books always put the biggest smiles on the kids faces. We bring them out when we put up our decorations, and they get a kick out of reading through some of their favorite stories. We have a tradition of giving each of them a new book each year, so we’ve grown quite […]

Now that we have almost two months of homeschool under our belts, can I call myself a homeschool mom? I certainly feel like one. Some days are great and we get through lessons easily, other days Peyton is not into it, Emory wants me to go through school with him at the same exact time […]

Earlier this week we played ghost and booed some of our friends! It’s a tradition I always look forward to. I still remember the first time I took Peyton when she was two-years-old… she cried when we left every house because she didn’t get the concept of dropping off treats to surprise our friends! It’s […]

Candy corn eggs?? What?? Yes, I know… sounds gross, but it’s not scrambled eggs mixed with candy corn. That would be pretty disgusting if you ask me.

We really enjoy Halloween at our house (minus the scary stuff!) and look forward to continuing on with our Halloween family traditions. This year’s baskets include a […]

Anyone else have their Halloween decorations up already? My daughter and I had a blast putting them up together, but man, those fake spider webs just cling to everything! I feel like I’m going to be finding spider web fuzzies around our house for months. This week, I learned that there’s an even messier version […]

I still remember the last year I trick or treated (such a sad day). It was eighth grade and I was with all my friends. We had pillow cases and mouths full of braces — our glory days, for sure. I think we came to a consensus that it would be our last time collecting […]

We are finally in full Halloween mode at our house. I put up the spider webs, spideys and fake bats, and Peyton is loving life. While I’m sad I’m not able to use all of our decorations (we’re in the process of redoing our built-ins), my walls are covered and I’m a happy gal. I […]
