These push and pop fidget sensory toys are all the rage right now at my kids’ schools. I can see why, they are kinda addicting and so satisfying for some reason!

Over the years we’ve had some fun family costume themes for Halloween, and every time I share them on Instagram people seem to have so many questions so I decided to make this into a full blog post! Unfortunately it seems that a family theme is getting harder and harder these days as my kiddos all have their own separate passionate ideas of what they want to be. But usually we can still pull together a coalition of a few of us ;). I hope this helps spark your creativity and give you some inspiration for your costumes!… Read the rest
