It’s that time of year when ghosts and goblins, princesses, and superheroes roam the neighborhoods looking for candy…also known as kids dressing up in costumes and going trick-or-treating. 😉 Oh, what fun it is to celebrate Halloween! It’s the only time of year when dressing up in a costume at work or at school is…

Is it August already? Does this mean summer is almost over?! Nooooo! I love summer so much and will be so sad to see it go. The only positive, in my opinion, is that the end of summer brings the beginning of fall, and fall is my favorite season of all! If you’re getting ready…

May is such a beautiful month with all the trees and flowers in bloom, the sunshine and warm (but not too hot!) weather, and even the occasional rainshower, of which I am personally a huge fan. I’ve always loved watching and listening to a good rainstorm! It also marks the beginning of the end of…
Spring is just around the corner, though in some places still getting a lot of snow it may not seem much like it! :/ Here’s hoping we all get some much-anticipated spring weather soon so we can enjoy the sunshine, outdoors, and blossoming plants and flowers! Almost just as anticipated as some lovely springtime weather…
February is such a lovely month, and also one that can become very full very quickly! While Valentine’s Day is no doubt a focus on the calendar, we still have appointments, practices, special events, meal planning, and vacations to plan too! With fewer days this month to fit everything in it is super important to…
A brand new year is one of my favorite opportunities to reflect on the past and evaluate where I am in life, what I want to accomplish, and how I can improve. Of course, there are many such opportunities: a new day/week/month/quarter, moving to a new house, starting a new job, the beginning of a…
We made it through Thanksgiving thanks to hard work, preparation, lots of free printable Thanksgiving activities for kids, and Thanksgiving crafts! Thanksgiving always kicks off the start of the busiest season of the year. Now that it’s over we can take a short breather before diving into all the fun, food, and memory-making that make…
