However, we do not purchase a new costume for each kid every year. I have accumulated a closet of costumes. So . . . → Read More: In Costume

You know how I love holidays! When I found out Cool Whip now had frosting, I HAD to try it. I loaded the kids up in the van and went to Walmart. We found the Cool Whip Frosting in the freezer section.
The kids and I argued discussed which flavor to frost our Halloween . . . → Read More: Fall Fun Cakes with #CoolWhipFrosting #CBias

Thanks to my mom Frieda for sharing this funny story with us today:

Oh how I have enjoyed the cooler Texas weather! It just makes everything feel so cozy and homey! One Saturday we actually didn’t have any where we needed to be, and it felt so great to work around the house. Jason took the kids out side and had them all “helping” fix the play . . . → Read More: A Fall Day at Home with the Family

By EstherIrish, on October 30th, 2011% The Pumpkin Patch that we love to go to in Flower Mound, TX has always been free until this year. They began charging a nominal $5 per parking. It is still, in my opinion, well worth the drive! My husband decided that he could do without the trip this year so being the die hard . . . → Read More: The Pumpkin Patch
By EstherIrish, on October 5th, 2011% This is something I love to do for holidays. I may have over done it just a little on the marshmallows this time, but my kids didn’t complain! They keep asking for “that special cereal.” It is simply a bowl of crispy rice cereal topped with marshmallows, Fall colored sugars, and sprinkles. Now how much . . . → Read More: An Easy Festive Fall Breakfast for Kids
