Today’s challenge was to write about a fall tradition. We don’t really have any fall traditions yet in our little family of three. The Bit should have been about two weeks old for her first Halloween; instead she was a wee preemie who wasn’t getting anywhere near trick-or-treating. Her second Halloween was celebrated at the […]
Fall is My Season {Blogtober Fest!}
I have always loved fall for a lot of reasons. I love the change in the seasons that’s so obvious when going from summer to fall. I love the feeling of needing to hunker down, clean up and make ready that the crispness in the air brings (even in the south where our winters aren’tusually […]
Halloween Playdough
Regular readers of this blog will know that I’m just a wee bit obsessed with homemade playdough. I’ve made no fewer than six different versions and actually have my favorite recipe memorized.

If you’ve on Pinterest, you’ve probably seen it, too, but just in case I wanted to share. […]
Costume Crafting with Cookie’s Kids

[…]
Couldn’t Get Away From Crafting, Even if I Tried
It’s no secret that I love crafting in all its forms. I make stuff for my kid, stuff for me (occasionally). I make stuff for a living (at least in part). I love to make gifts when I have time, and I like to make cards. But. I came across some crafting this morning in […]
