Kickin’ Off Halloween!

October is truly my favorite month. The excitement of Fall along with cool weather, Halloween, and all the awesome fall décor are just some of the reasons October is great. It also marks the start of endless holiday rush – Halloween to Thanksgiving to Christmas!

I thought I would kick off Halloween here on the blog by sharing some awesome ideas I have seen throughout Blog Land! This will be followed up by some awesome guest posts, crafts, giveaways, and tutorials throughout the month!

Celebrate Back to School in Blog Land!

So in just a few weeks most of the kiddos will be heading back to school. I do not have school age children… yet…. but I can imagine it is a hectic time of school clothes and school supply shopping. I went to the school supply section in Target yesterday and watched as a mom was reading supplies off the list and then arguing with her son over the supply they were going to buy. Oh the moments we will one day miss..

In honor of back to school I found a bunch of Back to School themed ideas to share!

Celebrate Summer in Blog Land!

For many families with school aged children the summer is quickly coming to a close. With a month or so left of summer break it is time to get your party on! Celebrate summer, family, and SLEEPING IN! Here are summer fun ideas I found in Blog Land!

Celebrate summer nights and summer days because there is not much summer left… unless you are like me and live in Florida where it is hot – hot – and hotter! Trust me I wish it was not the case. A little secret – I’m applying for jobs in Wyoming and Colorado! We hope to move West by next summer – in which case I will experience seasons again. Hooray!

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!
