As an adult, and parent, I have to wonder about this. How Old is Too Old to Participate in Halloween? At what age do you call it quits? The short answer, I would think, is when you’re ready. They sell plenty of costumes, after all, for adults. And there’s seemingly no shortage of Halloween decorations. So it’s really no wonder that in the United States, Halloween continues to be a multi-billion dollar industry. But when do you stop celebrating? When do you outgrow Halloween? For that matter, is it possible to outgrow Halloween? We have shared a few ideas for creating a toddler friendly Halloween, an autism friendly Halloween, and even a few costume ideas for the family. When it comes to trick-or-treating, I’ve also…

While I told myself that I wasn’t going to do a gift guide this year, I say that every year and every year I change my mind. This year, however, will be slightly different as I only intend to do product based guides instead of review guides.

That said, if I should come across a product that I think would be of interest to you all, I will be happy to give you a thorough and honest review. To kick things off, I’m starting an ultimate guide to gift ideas for toddler girls … the reasoning should be obvious if you’re a long time visitor….

As the mom of two premature children, I am very much aware. RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) is a common seasonal virus that usually appears between November and April.  RSV affects the lungs and breathing passages. The symptoms mimic a common cold and most children will have RSV at least once by the time they turn two. RSV is also the leading cause of infant hospitalization during the first year of life. But that doesn’t mean that you should isolate your child or not go anywhere during this season. That would…

Now that our toddler is old enough to participate in trick-or-treating, we're looking for Halloween costume ideas for a family of four.

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser, Walmart Family Mobile. All opinions are mine alone. #CatchMoreData #Ghostbusters #CollectiveBias Ah yes, Halloween. For some this is an enjoyable time of the year. And for many kids (and kids at heart), this is their favorite time of the year. I’ll be honest, I was more of a fan of Halloween as a child. But that is also changing now that Squeaker is getting older. Seeing and experiencing life through her eyes has really given me a new perspective on a lot of things. That includes holidays like Halloween. Like me though, Kyle is not a huge Halloween person. But that doesn’t mean that we don’t want to make the holiday memorable for…

“This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company. All opinions are 100% mine.” October is Fire Prevention Month and while we have shared some fire safety tips in the past, today we want to talk about the importance of practicing fire drill at home. We will be sharing our Fire Safety and Firefighter Tot School unit soon (just tying up a few things) so be on the lookout for that early next week! As children, we all practiced fire drills at school. Sometimes we knew about them ahead of time and other times they were quite the surprise. As adults, you may experience occasional fire drills at the workplace. It’s important, at all stages of life, to be…
