Can you believe it’s already time to start thinking about Christmas?

When my twins were little, creating Boo Baskets became our own little Halloween tradition.

I’d make a quick stop at the dollar store, scouring the aisles for anything Halloween-themed that would light up their faces.

As a mom to twins… make that tween twins… ahhh 😩, I know how wild things can get during Halloween season!

Between school projects, homework, endless hockey, football, and dance practices—not to mention planning fun matching mom-and-daughter costumes—there’s always so much going on.

When my twins were younger, pumpkin painting was our go-to fall activity. There was always paint splattered everywhere, glitter covering every surface, and pumpkins rolling off the table – but my kids loved it!

Fast forward to now and they’re tweens. So they’re not as excited about it. At all. But because it’s our tradition, they go along with it. And you know what, I can tell they still secretly enjoy it, even if they roll their eyes a little.

My daughter has always been crafty, so she still adds her own special touch to everything. She’ll bring out stencils, sketch her designs first, and find the perfect color combos, while my son’s pumpkin tends to be a little more…ummm…freestyle (a.k.a. paint everywhere).

When you’re trying to get your kids to sleep through the night, you want to make sure they are wearing something snuggly and comfy.

And as a mom, you want to make sure these snuggly and comfy pajamas last a long time!

I was so excited when I came across Little Sleepies, an amazing clothing brand that creates sleepwear with the softest material made from organic sources.
