Tis the season of gratitude! This year has been an emotional roller coaster but there is still so much to be grateful for. Gratitude has become a part of our bedtime routine that I look forward to every night. You never know the answers you’re going to get, like tuna sandwiches 😂 Tag a friend you are grateful for! Happy Thanksgiving! #gratitude #practicinggratitude #thanksgivingeve #conciousparenting #conciousmotherhood #raisingkindhumans #raisingkindkids

If the Yoto Player is not on your kids holiday wish list, it needs to be! Yoto gifted us a Yoto Player and a few cards that we are obsessed with. I love it for so many reasons but here are a few 1. The make your own cards. I made a recording of the affirmations we do every night and a few of our favorite books. You can even customize the image that plays on the Yoto Player for each recording. This has been great to help establish more sleep independence and comfort sissy. Also great for the nights my husband and I are not home to put her to bed. 2. Easy for sissy to control on her own 3. I’m able to control the player from my phone 4. You can play podcasts, soothing sounds, white noise, cards in different languages, and more 5. Great for early readers to follow along with their favorite books We love it so much that we ended up signing up for the Yoto Club. This was not part of the gift. We seriously, love it that much! $10 a month gets you 2 new cards a month, 10% off all purchases, and free shipping.

Happy November! I did a poll last week about how soon you wanted to see Christmas/holiday content and I was surprised by how many of you said November 1. I think it’s a little too early for this guy but what do you guys think? When does your Elf on the Shelf make their appearance? Check out my stories for our Elf’s grand entrance from the last two years #elfontheshelf #christmasiscoming #holidayseason #magicalmoments #elfontheshelfideas

Bubble bubble toil and trouble Here’s a fun and easy Halloween kids activity that helps promote language development and strengthen oral motor skills. You’ll want to be generous with the food coloring so the bubbles come out colored.

“C’mon bro” that’s all I heard for the entirety of our trip to the flower farm / pumpkin patch. Have you dragged your significant other to a fall festival, farm, or pumpkin patch yet? #fallfun #pumkinpatch #fallactivities #njmom #njisntboring #flowerfarm #sunflowers #fallfestival #fallismyfavorite #itfeelsoffall

We’ve been getting a lot of rain here the last week and carving our Jack-o-Lanterns made for the perfect rainy day activity. It gave us hours of fun and even a snack! Separating the pumpkin seeds was actually much easier than I thought and sissy was loving the sliminess. Have you carved your Jack-o-lanterns yet? Tag me in your pics and I’ll share them to my stories! #jackolantern #pumpkinseason #spookyseason #halloweenforkids #mypumpkinseason #sensoryplay #newoctday #finemotorskills #kidsactivities

Here is another fun way to get your kids to learn important phone numbers. All you need are paper plates, a marker, and tape. This is also great for number recognition and gross motor skills practice (jumping, squatting, reaction speed). At what age did your little ones start learning important phone numbers? Don’t forget to save this activity for later! #theearlyyears #childhoodeducations#grossmotorskills #kidsactivities #toddlerlife #preschool #montessoriathome #thethursdayweather #craftymoms #octoberdayss #funforkids #toddleractivities
