Please tell me I am not the only one who’s favorite part of Thanksgiving is the pie ?! 🥧 Not just pumpkin pie, but all kinds- apple, blueberry, peach and cherry too! 🍎 🍑 🍒 I couldn’t help but turn my love of pie into a cute Thanksgiving craft! We made this Thanksgiving Pie Garland as a sweet, simple Thanksgiving decoration and yes, even my boys helped! 😁 While not nearly as good as the real thing, I still love the way it turned out! Directions are on the blog (search pie garland) if you want to make your own. But more importantly, share your favorite pie below! 🥧 #thanksgivingpie #thanksgivinggarland #joyintheworks

Have you seen these Gratitude Pumpkins that people use for centerpieces in November? All you do is take a pumpkin and a sharpie and write something new every night that you are grateful for. It’s the perfect family dinner activity because the kids get such a kick out of writing and drawing on a pumpkin and it helps everyone focus on gratitude and blessings. We started our first one tonight at dinner and instead of complaining about how my day involved taking yet another sick kid to the doctor, I wrote that I am thankful for the medicine and resources that we have available to us to help us heal when we are sick. 😊 It was a much needed shift in my perspective after a long month of illness. Personally, I am thankful to whoever started this powerful activity (and creative use for leftover pumpkins!)😆 #gratitudepumpkin #joyintheworks

I seriously think the best use for leftover Halloween Candy is making your own Halloween Gingerbread House (or if you want to go fancy like we did last year, make this Graham Cracker Candy Haunted Mansion!Step-by-step directions on the blog.) If you have followed me for any length of time, you know my kids love making graham cracker candy houses for each holiday. Honestly, it makes for an easy family fun activity where even the teen will join in because there’s sweets involved! 🍬🍭🍫Of course, if you don’t keep Halloween Candy around or it *somehow* disappeared already, you might just need to take advantage of some of those after Halloween sales! 😆 What do you do with all your leftover candy or (no judgement!) do you even have any left at this point?! 😜 #leftoverhalloweencandy #hauntedgingerbreadhouse #fallfamilyfun #joyintheworks

Storm Trooper and Pokémon Trainer. The sick teenager (that won’t let me take his picture). And how every Halloween should end. 😴 #halloween2019 #oneluckymama #joyintheworks

Why should you spend $ on a commercialized Halloween Party Game when you have your own artist at home! Or in the case of my son’s 4th grade class, have the kids make their own! (This one is for the Kindergarten class) I was super surprised the 4th graders opted for this game, plus a few others, when we were planning their class party, but they were in charge of the planning this year, so I know it will be a hit! Curious about what else upper elementary students want at their #classhalloweenparty ? Check out my latest blog post and download the free printable class party planner we used to stay organized! #pinthetailonthecat #halloweenpartygames #halloweengames #diypartygames #joyintheworks

It’s amazing how much joy they get from a bin of corn. 🌽 They literally look forward to this every fall! #gandmfarms #cornpit #pumpkinpatch #fallfamilyfun #joyintheworks

Note to self, when taking apart a skeleton for some Halloween fun, label the pieces so you can put it back together correctly!! On a related note, searching for hidden bones and assembling the skeleton at the end makes for a fun Halloween game!! #buildaskeleton #diyhalloweengame #familyfunactivities #joyintheworks

What else is there to do when you have a huge amount of leftover candy except make some cute gift tags and give it away?! Love brightening someone else’s day instead of beating myself because I am terrible at estimating how much food I will need for a party! Plus just making the gift tags gave me joy, so that all adds up to success in my book! 😁 #joyintheworks #spreadjoy #givegifts #diygifttags #sweetsforthesweet #leftovercandy #candybarleftovers

So far I am actually enjoying parenting a teenager (for the most part!), but one thing that isn’t my favorite?? Teaching them to drive! It’s not that he is a bad driver or anything, it’s just that I am putting my life in the hands of a teenager and they don’t have a developed prefrontal cortex yet and therefore don’t always make rational decisions! 😆#teenagedrivers🙈 #sofarsogood #howisheoldenoughtodrive #drivingpractice #lovemyteen #joyintheworks
