Are you stressing because Halloween’s in just a few days and you don’t have anything for your child’s school or that costume party you got invited to? These “handy” snacks are just the thing that will make it seem like you totally have your life together without actually having to have your life together. And don’t we all need that. Bonus?

Weekend Recap
I’m finishing up this post while I wait for the season premiere of The Walking Dead and I can hardly contain my excitement. I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited/nervous for the premiere of a show ever.

If you follow me on Instagram you saw that I started the weekend on Friday afternoon by doing a little team building activity with my students on a ropes course/zip line. It ended up being a ton of fun and I’m so proud of…

Fun on the Farm

Once a year they open the farm up to the public and have tons of activities like hayrides, pumpkin picking, a corn maze, and of course animals. We’ve been going the last several years and it’s always a great time plus the weather this year was perfectly fall-ish. For the second year in a row, Ben decided to stick his hand inside a cow’s stomach. Researchers create a fistula or passageway to the cow’s stomach in order to study digestion as well look at bacteria that may be growing. The staff assured was that the…
