Teaching kids to be thankful for their many blessings is important year-round, but especially during the month of November when we celebrate Thanksgiving. As my kids are getting older, I hope to teach them the importance of practicing gratitude.
This cute turkey craft is a great way to help kids think about and express things they are thankful for. Older kids will love completing this on their own, and younger kids will have just as much fun putting it together will a little assistance from an adult.

Many people associate pumpkin patches with Halloween, but most are open all the way through Thanksgiving. At some point during the months...
Ok, so let me begin by saying that I love Halloween! I mean I really do love it, even as an adult. It ranks up there with Christmas and my birthday. October is for costume parties, decorating the house with spider webs and inflatable monsters, and eating all the candy you can get your hands on.
