Halloween Bucket List – Great Ideas for the Month of October! (she: Sierra)
It’s no secret in my family that Halloween is my very favorite holiday. In fact, if we’re being really honest…I’m completely obsessed with the entire month of October! I enjoy helping my kids plan what they are going to dress up as each year, visiting the pumpkin patch, baking yummy treats and making Halloween themed crafts. So, I thought it would be fun to share our Halloween bucket list as a printable for you today. Hopefully it gives you some ideas of things to do to keep busy this Fall.

Mother’s Day Necklace and Printable (she: Sierra)
Can you believe Mother’s Day is just around the corner? My kids just love making homemade crafts for Mother’s Day. Its always fun to see what they come up with! I’m the type of mom who will proudly wear a noodle necklace and cash in those homemade coupons, and this year I thought it would be fun to make a Mother’s Day necklace with my kids using painted wood beads. I loved how they turned out and they are so simple to make! Moms, grandmas, Aunts or sisters are sure to adore this fun accessory as a gift.
Tooth Fairy Ideas – Tooth Pocket Tutorial (she: Sierra)
recently, something special happened at our house! My daughter lost her first tooth! Shortly after that, she lost her second! I feel like that first tooth is such a rite of passage and there are so many things to consider about the whole tooth fairy thing like: what is the going rate these days for teeth? (seriously, choose wisely on that or you’ll end up broke). And what do we put the tooth in? Does the tooth fairy leave a note? So many tooth fairy ideas to consider!
