We hit the lights hard this time of year, but the tradition I like most is going house to house to see lights.

This one is known as the Gingerbread House and is put together with handmade panels. It’s perfection and a must-see.

This has always been a dream of mine, to have a house like this with lights that people come to see. I think I’m many years out from making it happen, so I’ll just enjoy everyone else’s labor and creativity for now. 🌲

Lola is ready to do what she does best- support her sisters. I’m glad that she’s getting to the age where she’ll get to be the one to shine in her activities too, because so far she has been a professional cheerleader for her sisters.

Today is a big Chorale performance for Harper and Everly, who has her first time on the big stage with @coloradochildrenschorale I’m so proud of them and the hard work they’ve put in. Sing your hearts out girls!

Happy Halloween!

Lola was wedding #moira which was the most challenging to create. It took many hours including their bonus grandma’s sewing skills to make the gown, the lining underneath, and the material onto the hat. The round hair piece is a wig cut and glued to a small wreath. Getting that and the hat to stay sturdy was the biggest challenge.

This year’s costumes was a lot of work but much fun. I would for sure do it again, in fact I already have an idea for next year…

Harper’s #moira costume was the one I was least confident about but probably came out the best.

I got a long sleeve black dress and cut up sections of panty hose I got from the dollar store and hot glued each piece on. I started with cut up tee shirts (the ones on the back) but the weight was too heavy so I switched to panty hose.

The hat is from Amazon and I used Everly’s #crowshaveeyes feathers for them. This was from the Finding David episode where he goes to live with an Amish family.

This was also a glimpse of Harper as a teen because once that makeup was on, we all just kind of froze.

Everly’s 8th birthday is today and luckily it’s also the school’s day to celebrate #halloween

All 3 girls went this year as Moira, and Everly was the first to choose. She wanted #thecrowshaveeyes3 Moira and pulled it off like only she could.

That wig is sprayed to high heaven with glue and is probably highly flammable. The wreath is her nest and the feathers are hopefully hanging in there after today.

There is no better Halloween muse than #moirarose

It’s pumpkin patch season and we’re all in! 🎃 We have at least one scheduled each weekend starting with Anderson, a huge property with tons to do and a million places to take photos.

We had this amazing iced cherry apple cider they made using apple cider, cherry juice concentrate, vanilla, and spices but she wouldn’t tell me which ones. 🤷🏼‍♀️ She said they were “proprietary” to the farm (?) I guess. So I’ll be toying with that recipe for a while I’m sure. I asked if it was pumpkin spice and she said no. Maybe to throw me off the trail? I need help.

We have another adventure planned tomorrow which means more pumpkins which means we’ll have 6 to carve. Do I make seeds? Do we eat it? I don’t think they’ll last until Halloween once carved.

I have a blog with an update ready to go that I’ll post in the following week along with some fun promotions. I finally have a little extra time to get back to it all. 🤗

The hair styling products from @kloraneusa are the perfect mix of salon quality and clean ingredients. A very hard combination and not one I’ve often found over the years.

Their Mango 🥭 line for dry hair features nourishing oils, creams, a hydrating mask, and even a solid shampoo bar. 🧼 They smell amazing and leave my hair feeling soft and shiny.

Their Shampooing Mask is a powder made with organic nettle and clay which comes in individual packets. You add water to the powder and apply it to your hair letting it set for a few minutes. It deep cleans and clarifies the hair and scalp leaving it completely cleansed. 🧖🏼‍♀️I use it when we get home from camping to give my hair a thorough cleaning, but it’s also great for oily scalps or to clarify hair every week or two.

The whipped mango hair mask smells yummy enough to eat and coats hair in silky softness. I wear it overnight and wash it out in the morning. It has been key to keeping my hair looking healthy this summer with so much time in the sun and with the camper’s hard water that always dries my hair out.

Each bottle tells you the percentage of natural origin ingredients for that formulation which I love.

They’re best known for their best-selling dry shampoo, but everything I’ve used from them has been something I would buy. They don’t have a ton of skincare, but the Water Sleeping Mask is incredible. 🌟

Colorado peeps can find it in @ultabeauty and @pharmaca - check the store locator on their site for full info.
