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

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.

If you build it… We stopped at the Field of Dre

If you build it…

We stopped at the Field of Dreams in Iowa on our way from Wisconsin today. Our girls haven’t seen the movie yet, but of course Mike and I have and we love it. We actually use this phrase a lot when taking a leap of faith. It reminds me of all the times we’ve done something blindly not knowing what the outcome would be.

Like with homeschooling.

Or buying a camper even though we’d never even stepped foot in one before.

And deciding to spend so much time on the road.

No guarantees, only faith that all will work out as it’s supposed to. And it does.

Our time at the field was good. We ran the bases, walked through the corn, and looked around at the families who brought their kids here for a catch. And although we’re all pretty weary from the road, this will be one of my favorite photos from our trips.

We’re enjoying our last day here in Madison visi

We’re enjoying our last day here in Madison visiting family before moving on. We love it here! A neighborhood, their downtown, and University of Wisconsin are all built around the lake. We pulled up to park our boat and walk around the city and saw frat houses that sit on the lake blasting music with kids hanging out and paddle boarding. 🤯 What a fun place to go to school!!

I’ve only seen movies where people get around on a boat to go dinner or see friends but that’s a reality here and it’s amazing. The whole experience of being surrounded by water all the time yet still connected to everything completely makes you forget about the bugs and humidity. I forgot how tiring humidity was. It’s like walking around with an extra person sitting on your shoulders.

Tomorrow we’ll head back through Iowa with only 1 stop planned. We really couldn’t think of anything worth seeing in IA but are always open to suggestions.

We really didn’t know what to expect for this trip but it turned out to be a great one!

Omaha Zoo in the books! It’s beautifully landscaped with giant enclosures that feel like you’re in nature. Waterfalls, huge rocks, giant trees, and wide paths line the zoo for a totally unique experience. We loved our time here but @cheyennemountainzoo still has our heart.

The more places we go, the more we’re convinced that Colorado is our forever home. 🏔

Tomorrow we head on to Wisconsin for some lake time. The mornings and nights now have a slight chill to the air and we’re taking in the last bit of summer! ☀️
