easy fall kids craft perfect for halloween

Celebrate the fall season with this cute and easy Halloween wreath craft for kids! With fall upon us, and Halloween approaching, I created this easy fall stamp wreath craft with my preschooler! So I first looked on Pinterest for some fall inspiration and found a ton of wreaths that you glue leaves onto. I tried that, and SERIOUSLY failed! At least my toddler did – I bet if he were older, he’d be able to get it more and put the leaves in the right spot. So I wanted to do … Read more

easy autumn kids craft with leaves

This easy fall kids craft has real leaf crunching action that everyone will love! It’s a universal, all ages thing – we all love to stomp on crunchy leaves, so I thought it’d be a perfect activity to transition to a craft! Fall and pumpkins are kind of intertwined – as soon as September hits, pumpkins are being sold, flannel starts showing up, and the leaves start changing. Being SUPER into camping, it’s kind of bittersweet seeing those leaves fall. But, we had a great summer this year, and to … Read more

Alternating Breastmilk and Formula + Breastfeeding and Formula Schedule at 9 Months!

by

Supplementing breastmilk with formula… it’s not as detrimental to your breastfeeding journey as you might imagine! It’s a stress that all breastfeeding and pumping mamas know – you look at how much you’ve pumped, freak out that it won’t be enough, then make even less milk because you’re stressing about it. Talk about a vicious cycle! Yes yes… breast is best and all that, but at some point if trying to provide milk for your baby is causing you so much stress that it’s impacting your relationship with your baby, … Read more

fall craft to do with preschoolers

This fun fall pumpkin craft will make a great addition to your preschool classroom! If you’re looking for a fun pumpkin craft to do with your preschooler, you’ll love this apple stamping pumpkin art! While working on my other pumpkin craft this year, my toddler kept on asking to make a pumpkin.

Cute and Easy Mason Jar Pumpkin Craft Decoration

by

Skip the mess and make a cute mason jar pumpkin patch instead! So lately, it seems our family has been too busy to do “real” pumpkins. I have a three year old and one year old twins, so we keep pretty busy – last year when we bought some pumpkins, we carved one, said we would do the rest later, and ended throwing them out in December because we had completely forgotten to do the other ones! Don’t worry, they didn’t rot. Squashes and such actually stay good for a pretty … Read more

I have an EASY, DIY game that your pre-schooler will love! It’s a known fact that kids learn through play and fun! How many useless songs do you remember from 10 years ago (I know way too much Backstreet Boys!) but you can’t remember important things like historical facts or directions? It’s because the singing was fun, and reading from books wasn’t (as much)! With that in … Read more

fun thing to do with toddlers while camping

Next time you’re camping with your little kids, keep them busy with this fun camping activity! If you’re like me and enjoy camping with your little kids (or maybe you’re afraid of it!) then you know they sometimes get bored… and with boredom, comes whining. But I’ve found a GREAT way to keep toddlers busy around camp is to task them with something – in this case, a camp sensory soup for their favorite animal! Our toddler just turned 3, and he lives for campfires and throwing stuff in the … Read more
