We attended the annual Lil Goblins Halloween party at The New York Junior League. The event was a lot of fun. They had a balloon artist, a magician, cookie decorating, and trick-or-treating. My daughter, Maxine, was a cute lil ballerina 🎃.
I wanted to find something low-maintenance that my daughter and mom could do together this year to celebrate Halloween.
I bought the Highlights Halloween craft kit. It included cute pumpkin decorations (which we used for Maxi’s pumpkin), stickers, and a cute tote bag that Maxie could use for trick-or-treating.
Here are pictures of my mom and daughter decorating the bag together ♥️.
Here is the final product!
My daughter is obsessed with Hello Kitty and Friends Supercute Adventures. I saw this on Instagram, and I had to buy it.
It’s a ten-day countdown to Halloween, but my daughter could not wait, so we started earlier, and we are now just opening them up whenever.
Each box has a cute sticker (or page of stickers), and they are gorgeous. Also, each one is meant to be a color activity, but my daughter just wants the stickers 😆.
I have always loved Hello Kitty and Sanrio in general, so I’m enjoying the calendar as much as my daughter is.
We got two great pumpkins from Cityside Pumpkin Patch.
Check out the cute pumpkin Maxi created.
Here is the pumpkin my husband created.
My family and I are officially enjoying the fall season, and the countdown to Halloween has officially begun.
Last week, we went to the Cityside Pumpkin Patch in Long Island City.
The pumpkin patch also served food and drinks and had many cute and spooky areas to enjoy. They had some cool activities you could pay for, but we enjoyed the archery section, which was free with our package.
Overall a fun time!
To the two most important men in my life.
I had a fabulous Mother’s Day last week.
I greeted all the extraordinary women in my life and got plants for my mother, mother-in-law, aunt, and sister-in-law.
I treated my mom and myself to a seafood feast!
My husband bought me flowers and I made beautiful arrangements with them.
Overall, a great day!
I’m a bit late, but I want to share my Easter this year. It was extra special because I helped organize an egg hunt at the New York Junior League (NYJL), and I had family from California visit.
We had approx 70 kids participate in the egg hunt at the (NYJL). The kids decorated their egg-hunting bags, bunnies and chicks, and photo frames. It was a huge hit.
Here are pictures of my family enjoying the event.
For Easter, I did most of the cooking. I wanted to cook ham but couldn’t find any, so chicken it is!
This year, I went a little light with the Easter baskets. Less is more!
For family activities, we did cookie decorating and classic egg coloring.
Nothing better than spending quality time with the family.
