It’s hard not to love Thanksgiving. There is so much to enjoy – family, friends, food, fall weather. Thanksgiving is a special time to share with our families and be thankful for the things we have and the moments we get to spend with one another. It’s also a crazy time as we run around preparing for the holidays. It’s important that we remember to slow down and set aside a few quiet moments to share with our kids. Reading with your little turkeys is the perfect way to show them how thankful you are to be with them. Here are 12 Thanksgiving-themed books to share with…

Gorgeous DIY Succulent Pumpkin Planters
I honestly love pumpkin season, the smells and the flavors. This cute pumpkin succulent arrangement immediately turns your house into fall season. It also makes a great gift. As soon as the pumpkin starts to rot, simply plant it in your garden. If you need to pot it, just gently pull of the succulents and plant them in your favorite pot. I like to have a selection of different succulents. Definitely look for the little baby flower like succulents but also look for longer ‘flatter’ plants. Spread them out and sort them so you can clearly see what you have. I use moss…

Delicious Spinach and Beef Lasagna Recipe

It is really tasty with the spinach and fresh herbs and you’ll probably have leftovers for lunch the next day. Here’s our favorite recipe! You’ll…

Colin Eldred-Cohen: From Bedtime Storyteller to Published Author
Colin Eldred-Cohen has fiction and nonfiction story ideas constantly buzzing around his head in all kinds of genres: blog posts, magazine articles, comic books and full length novels. They can spring up from anywhere, from media I consume to any random thing I see. Some of the story ideas get channeled into writings, some become plots for roleplaying games I play with my friends. I want to say that it’s a gift of the Asperger’s, but one never knows. But never did Colin imagine that his first published work would be a children’s book! The Fire Truck Who Got Lost was inspired by a charming tale he made up on…

Tips for Hosting a Bad Moms Night In Party
Last weekend I hosted a Bad Moms party at my house to celebrate the Universal Home Entertainment and STX release of Bad Moms to Blu-ray/DVD on November 1st. I have to say it was such a fun night to hang with other moms and just let loose. If you haven’t seen the movie yet you really need to have a girls night in (and possibly head out later on in the night) and watch it together. You can read my review of the movie here as well as read what the stars of movie had to say about their own journey as mothers. I felt the message of…
