  • I’ve been terrible at sharing our preschool and baby bin activities lately on Instagram other than in my stories so I’m trying to get better starting this week!

Today we started the first of our holiday themes: Gingerbread. 😋Aubrey LOVES to color and draw right now, so after our stories completing a written response is super fun with her. After we talked about characters and listed the characters in this version of the story I asked Aubrey to draw the main character. Check out this cutie with her gingerbread man.

I am going to try to squeeze in gingerbread and reindeer this week then follow that up with two weeks of Christmas before we add a new preschool theme at the end of the month.😅 We are going to be busy busy amidst all the other holiday craziness, but I can’t wait to share our festive holiday themes with you🎄 #mpkpreschool
  • Sending these cuties off to the ❄️Daddy Daughter Winter Ball ❄️
  • So I’m totally the mom that gets super excited to send something adorable and festive for school parties🙋🏼‍♀️ #sorrynotsorry 
But my daughter’s school only allows store bought prepackaged treats😩 (i totally get it with food allergies and things it’s so much easier to manage!) But that meant I had to get creative.

I signed up to send in juice boxes and decided to dress them up with a little glue, paper, googly eyes and pipe cleaners.

Check out a step by step tutorial in my stories today☝🏻 I’ll try to post directions on the blog ASAP.

Does your school allow Halloween parties? Would you like to see more easy ways to dress up store bought treats for school parties?
  • Had the best day celebrating our sweet Arabella. Thanks to everyone who came to make it a special day for her 💗 #ourarabellabrooke
  • Just one more week until our sweet girl is one. My cousin took the cutest cake 🎂 smash pics today and I cannot wait to see the rest! #ourarabellabrooke 📸: @littlebearphoto45
  • What’s your favorite sensory bin filler? Aubrey LOVES cloud dough so today she had a blast playing in this 🎃 pumpkin themed cloud dough bin.

I love that it’s super simple to make and we usually have everything we need in hand in the pantry🙌🏻. But if I’m being honest I don’t love the mess. I’ve shared this before in my stories but I LOVE these splat mats I found on Amazon. We now own 4 of them😳 I usually use one to cover the table and one (or more) to cover the floor.

They seriously make clean up a breeze and help me let it go ❄️ when I see piles of cloud dough dropping on the floor.
  • Took these cute pumpkins to the pumpkin patch today🎃 It sure was freezing but we did all the fun fall things, and didn’t even have to bribe the kids to leave since they were frozen.🥶🙌🏻
