So, I might be a little bias in writing this post.
Maks works for the City of Beverly Hills. Bear and I have frequented the library a lot when he was a baby and hopefully it'll be safe to go back at some point. But that's not the point of this post! They have a neat little story time program that's absolutely FREE to watch anywhere!

Can I just tell you how much I love Michael's? I just love everything about that store. I get my yarn, my crafts, and I spend a small fortune every time.
So a while back, we painted fall pumpkins! This is just so simple to make! Here is what you need:
Paint
Wooden pumpkins
Paintbrushes, tools, etc.
Great music because you'll always need great music!
Cost of said activity - it really depends
Now, it's not good to mix different brands and different types of cleaning solutions. For one, you never know how it's going to turn out. It might be harmless or you might blow up something. You also might die.
Secondly, it's better to just have one product to clean your home, if possible. My go-to has always been Pine-Sol, but good luck trying to get some in this pandemic.
Every year, it seems all of the stores begin to sell cinnamon brooms during the fall. I get it. Cinnamon is a very popular scent (I personally like it more than pumpkin, but I digress) and it reminds everyone of that cozy feeling. And plus, who doesn't like the smell of cinnamon all of the time?
When I smell cinnamon, I think of warm nights, snuggling underneath a blanket,
My Christmas tree has never been traditional one color or another. Even when I went through my purple phase, I had silver, gold, white, and clear ornaments to offset all of the purple.
Every year, I like to add a Christmas ornament to the tree that we didn't have before. Whether it's something funny, sentimental, or an inside joke, I just like having something there that represents a time
This year, we've been pretty conservative with our money. While we've adjusted to buying more in bulk, we've also been very careful on what we spend on. We've cut out a lot of needless spending and just been more thoughtful about it.
When it comes to your birthday, however, you do need to ball out. I mean, it's your birthday! Why not?
I was going to treat myself to Tory
I'm going to start highlighting Black authors and even some Black-owned bookstores (if I can get to them in person, if not, I'll just do a virtual recommendation).
I figured since protesting is starting to become more dangerous and performative; more about people wanting to look like they were out fighting the power, but not really being about that life, here is an alternative.
We received a copy of
Years ago, we decided to cut the cord. We were hipsters before the term became relevant. During that time, the choices were very limited and we ended up going back to cable a short time later.
Around last year, we decided paying a 200+ cable bill really wasn't in our best interest so we cut the cord again. We also picked up a host of streaming options such as
Sometimes I buy cornstarch and wonder why would I need all of this? It's usually a lot in a container and sometimes it can last forever. I finally figured out other than the occasional cooking ideas, it'll make a great easy activity for kids.
This is mainly geared to preschoolers, but my almost-7-year-old really loved this as well! So, I can say this is for kids 3-10.
