I can’t believe this is the last weekend before Halloween. This also means next weekend is already November. In preparation for fall and Halloween there has been a lot of pumpkin carving going on. First up was carving at my parent’s house where the kids weren’t too excited about having to touch the guts of the pumpkin. I wish I would have gotten a picture of my niece Hannah’s pumpkin. She did an awesome job carving “Wicked” in her pumpkin. Since J couldn’t make it to my parent’s house, the next weekend we carved another set of pumpkins at our house. And for the first year ever, I was quite…

DIY Paint With Ice Cubes
What better time to update our Summer Bucket list now that we’re officially in the heart of fall. Better late than never right? To read the original bucket list click here. Glow in the dark sticks in the bathtub. This one is for Ben although somehow I think the kid inside of J might also want to do this. Go camping. Even if it’s in our own backyard. Have a picnic. This one may need to be indoors if it doesn’t get below 100 soon. Make an obstacle course out of paper streamers. Fly a kite. Paint with ice cubes. Have a spray water bottle fight. Go on a picture scavenger hunt. Go…

Happy Birthday to Me!
Another birthday has come and gone and I’ve added another candle to my cake. I had as much fun as one can when your birthday falls on a Monday. I mean, this shouldn’t even be possible. Ben had a Dr.’s apt that morning so I took him to the Dr. and then he took me out for a birthday lunch. Both my family and J’s family took me out to eat the weekend before and after my actual birthday and gifted me with fabulous presents including some new perfume, a scarf and bracelet, a candle, and some cash to do with as I please:) Best lunch date ever. That night…

As of Late
What’s been going on this past month? Ben finally got a matching umbrella for his rain boots. We enjoyed some 80 degree days and Ben “worked” on his bike. Doing a little water color painting This has been burning non-stop. I may never go back to Yankee after using Bath & Body Works candles. The smell fills up our entire house even when it’s not lit. Cousins made sure Cookie Monster had his fill of play-doh. I celebrated a birthday and J got me this new beauty. We went to our first festival of the fall season. And of course we made sure to polish up on our Rock Band…

White Chocolate Covered Popcorn
I promise this is the last post about anything related to a baby shower. And honestly, even if you aren’t hosting a baby shower you should be making this popcorn anyway. This stuff is so good that J was eating it faster than I could put it in the baggies. Whenever I throw a party whether it’s for a birthday, baby, wedding, or anything in between, my go to party favor usually involves food. Everyone likes it and no one needs little trinkets lying around their house. What You Need: -Lightly buttered popcorn (you want some butter so you get the mix of salty and sweet) -1 Bag of white chocolate chips…
