4 Ways to Make Fall Decorating Easy

If you haven't gotten out the fall decorations yet, no worries, you're not alone in the world.

I know plenty of people who've just lost the love for seasonal decorating.

Their main gripe? Takes too much time...not to mention several trips to the attic, garage, or basement- (and then ya gotta put it all away).

Here are 4 ways to decorate for the fall season without getting bats in your belfry:

1) Buy seasonal scented candles like Apple, Pumpkin or Spice. The color and fragrance offer a quick transformation

Try my favoritist Candles & Candle Lady in the whole-wide world.

2) Buy some seasonal soaps in fall fragrances (this also makes for a quick color and mood transformation). Bath & Body Works has great sales. I received Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin deep cleansing soap this weekend as a gift-yum. (Thanks G.D. & T.)

3) Bring in the outdoors: buy mini pumpkins and gourds, press some leaves in a magazine like we did, and voila!

A perfect table centerpiece (and a fun and educational activity)...

Put out a small leaf identifying book with the display and watch the kids learn.

4) One of my favorite ways to decorate (easily) for the seasons, is to reuse my summer vases in the house (or buy a bunch in different sizes and colors from the local Salvation Army, second hand store or flea market). Fill them with some fall faux stems from Pier 1 Imports (my fav) or even Walmart or your local craft or fabric store. Believe it or not, using real items from out in your back yard works just as well (and is cheaper=ummm FREE!?).

THE BEST PART OF ALL?

WHEN FALL IS OVER- YOU CAN THROW MOST OF IT AWAY!

How's that for easy?

Back to School Anxiety: Bullying

Download “School Boy Being Stressed” by David Castillo Dominici via freedigitalphotos.net I recently wrote about how to help your child if they’re struggling with going back to school because they were bullied. My biggest most important tip was to listen, because I honestly could not write a ‘How-to-make-them-not-afraid’ column. Frankly I thought that was absurd. Fear is sometimes real. Anxiety is sometimes truly there, and for a good reason. Our job as parents isn’t to try to make it go away, it’s to try to find out the true source of those worrisome feelings.

6 Ways to Support Teens and Mental Health (Column Related)

Enjoying a trip to see family and exploring the outdoors. May was Mental Health Awareness Month. It’s over now, but it shouldn’t be. I’m not a medical professional or anything even close, but I am convinced that every person on the planet (no matter age, economic status, profession, race, or gender) is vulnerable to events that can alter their state of mind. If you’re not sure about this, just research the increase in the amount of people seeking psychological help due to the pandemic, then try getting an appointment with a therapist or counselor that doesn’t require weeks or months on a wait list. There are so many things damaging our mental health that we don’t even realize. Add underlying issues not yet detected and undiagnosed…it’s a bad situation made worse, and the need for support more urgent. Many teens are struggling with mental health issues right now and many of us don’t even know it. How could we? Not too many teens feel comfortable talking to adults about ‘their stuff’ a

Green Punch Buggy....!!!!

Green Punch Buggy...No Punch Back! As I was writing this blog post, my son came to me showing off his Lego creation. And don't you know I got hit at least five times since on my computer screen was displaying at least five different punch buggies, of five different colors thanks to Google Images. (Bad timing I'm thinking...) How can we possibly have world peace with these silly cars in the world!? ;) Don't the owners of these cute-but-obnoxious-cars understand that driving these things around town promotes violence!? ;) Anyhow.... The original purpose of this blog was to ask parents everywhere this question: Do you find yourself saying 'PUNCH BUGGY *BLANK-COLOR*! ' to yourself, even when the kids are not in the car??? I do! Isn't it funny how those games we used to play as a child are still around? I bet our parents say the same thing.... HAPPY FRIIIIIIDAAAAYYYY! P.S. I got hit at least ten more times, since as my son stood beside
