MAKE THIS
Start a Thankful Tree
Get ready for November with a family Thankful Tree! Make a paper tree, then add leaves with things you’re grateful for all month. Little ones can draw pictures, too.
Save the leaves when November ends—they’re fun to read again the next year!
FROM MY KITCHEN
A Spooky Hot Chocolate Bar
If October means chilly evenings where you live, here’s a Halloween treat to warm everyone up!
MY FAVORITE FIND
Bag-Sealing Sliders
These little sliders get plenty of use at my house! I use them to keep bags sealed in the fridge, freezer, and pantry, but one of my favorite places to take them is on a road trip. They’re so handy for closing all those opened bags of car snacks between stops.
With Halloween coming up, they’ll be useful for keeping leftover party snacks sealed, too!
Be sure to check out the GRIPSTIC video on the product page to learn how to use them.

LIFE MADE EASIER
Set Up Before the Doorbell Rings
Before your guests arrive, gather everything you’ll need for each activity. Keep game pieces and instructions in one basket, gather dessert supplies near the toppings, and set out a trash can where guests can easily find it.
A few minutes of setup can save you from hunting for scissors or spoons while everyone waits—and give you more time to enjoy the party yourself!
