Saying I have a flair for the dramatic is not an exaggeration. As a matter of fact, if you look up flair for dramatic, you may find a picture of none other than yours truly. I have been known to celebrate birthday weeks and months, decorate for fall as soon as August ends, get a little carried away with parties and play dates and put bows on my daughter that are bigger than her entire head.
While you are sweating away cooking your heart out in the kitchen on Thanksgiving, do you ever sweat about what to do to keep your little turkeys busy? Well wipe your brow because I have compiled a list of activities to keep them busy while you prepare the perfect feast.
Do you need to make festive Thanksgiving treats for your child’s Thanksgiving feast? Or do you just enjoy creating in the kitchen with your kids? I like to call it “Crafting in the Kitchen”. The bonus: you get to eat your creations. I am a sucker for an adorable themed holiday treat so I have decided to put together a list of our favorite cute treats.
My Daughter and I recently read Thanksgiving on Thursday by Mary Pope Osborne. I have been trying to get her to read the Magic Tree House series for quite sometime but she has been against it. She can be stubborn that way. I decided to download one on my iPad and trick her.
What are you thankful for? This is something that I want to focus on as we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving. It is easy to get wrapped up in life and forget to appreciate what we have, especially for little ones.
What do you think about the Teal Pumpkin Project? We participated in the Teal Pumpkin Project last year and will be participating again this year. This project was started by FARE in 2014 to create a safer Halloween for all kids, including those with food allergies. This project was inspired by Food Allergy Community of East Tennessee (FACET).
I love Halloween and everything that goes with it. We have so much fun decorating, singing the songs and reading the books. The books are so much fun! We had so much fun reading we want to share a list of our top six favorite books. It has been really hard to narrow it down, but here are the top six books my daughter really loves this Halloween season.
I love fall and everything that comes with it but one of my favorite things during this season is Halloween. I always try and make sure my family has plenty of fun things to do during the month of October, but this year I have decided to create a Halloween countdown calendar.
Fall is officially here and I am so excited about all the fun ahead. The air is feeling crisp, the leaves are changing, EVERYONE is serving pumpkin this and pumpkin that… and I am feeling pretty happy. I always over-plan this time of year! I even have had my daughter’s Halloween costume for a few weeks now. So it is not a huge surprise that my family is making our way to the pumpkin patch this weekend. Our outfits are planned and I even have some ideas in mind for a few of the pumpkins we will be getting.
The changing leaves and the crisp air…Honestly, it makes me want to dance around and break out singing a newly written version of Julie Andrew’s, These Are a Few of My Favorite Things with a fall theme. This is my favorite time of year!
