Fall in the Northeast is such a beautiful time of the year. While I won’t say that it’s my favorite season, it’s definitely up there. Granted, there are only four seasons, but Fall is probably my second favorite if not my favorite sometimes. Especially after moving to Albany. It took me a little while to accept it and really look at the surroundings. But once the leaves start to turn? It is absolutely gorgeous. There are so many things to do in this area aside from leaf peeping though. Here are just a few fall fun ideas to keep your family outdoors.   #advertisement I received compensation from Dr. Scholl’s® to write this post.

When it comes to preparing for Halloween, I tend to go overboard and plan in advance. We don’t get a lot of trick-or-treaters in our small neighborhood, so I want to make it worth their while. And well, I’ll admit, sometimes I buy candy I like because I know we’ll have plenty left! This year, however, I wanted to try something different. In addition to purchasing gluten-free candy, I’m also going to make candy free Halloween treat bags just in case. With thanks to Oriental Trading for supplying us with everything that we need; I’m happy to share our process. While Halloween has never been one of those holidays that I go all out for in terms of decorating, I do want to spread the…

My toddler is absolutely in love with Paw Patrol. In fact, the only thing that will probably draw her attention away from Paw Patrol is Frozen. Yes, she is a bit obsessed. Most of her Christmas and birthday presents this year were Paw Patrol themed and I suspect that we’ll do a Paw Patrol Easter basket as well. So, in spirit of that, I made Paw Patrol inspired Valentine’s Day cards that she can hand out to her friends and cousins. I’ll admit, if I was into handing out Valentine’s Day cards, I might just hand these out myself. Simple and Cute Free Printable Paw Patrol Valentine’s Day Cards If you are making a Paw Patrol Valentine’s Day basket, this would look pawdorable (see what…

I want Squeaker to know about other cultures and religions aside from her own. Now, while her ethnic background is quite diverse (she’s Japanese, Filipino, Polish.. and a host of additional European background) and I have some idea of how to introduce those cultures (like with our mini tot school Poland unit); religion is another issue. I am raising her as a Christian because that’s what we are. However, I also want her to be aware of other religions and as a Christian, I think that learning about Judaism will go a long way. While we won’t celebrate all of the Jewish holy days, we will definitely study them and celebrate them a little bit. We’ll probably start with Hanukkah because it’s close enough to…

When it comes to Christmas shopping and gifting, I always like to have something extra on hand to give to guests. Or to give to local community members or neighbors. Whatever the case may be, it could be something small or it could be something homemade. I prefer homemade because I think it just gives that extra touch. This year, I will be gifting peppermint Christmas cracker candy. Package your peppermint Christmas cracker candy in a Rubbermaid TakeAlongs for easy gift giving. Thank you to Rubbermaid for partnering with us to bring you this post. I was actually surprised at how easy this was to make. I’d always been under the impression that the process was complicated. That, and every time I’ve attempted to make…

Thanksgiving will be here before we know it! I can’t wait for the food and the football. And of course, spending time with family. However, while I’m trying to help with Thanksgiving dinner; I have an inquisitive and curious toddler under foot. There are times that I appreciate her enthusiasm and willingness to help; but when I’m trying to get dinner ready is not one of them. This year I wanted to share a free printable Thanksgiving placemat set. The catch is that these aren’t meant to be used as true placemats. More like something to keep your toddler occupied. If you’re looking for more activities, be sure to check out my Thanksgiving tot pack. Or you can add in the activities from my Thanksgiving…
