Hey there!
Can you believe it’s already October? Time seems to be flying by these days. As a family of nine, we have our hands full, but that doesn’t stop us from embracing the beauty of this season. Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year, and this month, we’re diving headfirst into the crisp embrace of Fall. I can’t wait to share all the exciting happenings in our family.
First and foremost, October kicks off with a double dose of birthday joy! On October 7th, We’re celebrating our daughter Liyah Mauri’s 6th birthday as she turns another year older and wiser.
And then, as the month draws to a close, on October 28th, it’s my turn to add another candle to the cake. Yes, I’m embracing another year of adventures, love, and growth. And I’m looking forward to making beautiful memories with my incredible family.
Stay tuned for the inside scoop on how we’re planning to make these birthdays extra special. And who knows, maybe we can share a virtual slice of cake with you too!
Over on our YouTube channel, Dinkins Everyday Life, we are participating in a modified version of Vlogtober. If you aren’t familiar with Vlogtober, it is where Vloggers create a video every day in October, and I will be posting a video M, W, and F of each week. I will be sharing all of our Fall favorites, family outings, and fun Fall activities at home with the children. So make sure you are subscribed and hit the notification bell so you don’t miss a video.
Fall wouldn’t be complete without a flurry of family activities. We’re carving pumpkins and turning them into goofy jack-o’-lanterns, visiting local Pumpkin Patches, Picking apples and Sunflowers, and having our own Paint and Sip with the children. Also, our family movie nights are transitioning into a spooky delight, complete with popcorn, snacks from the $1.25 store LOL aka Dollar Tree, and blankets.
Ah, baking season is upon us! October is synonymous with the aroma of cinnamon and pumpkin spice wafting through our home. We’re planning to bake a scrumptious array of fall-inspired treats – from gooey caramel apples to the flakiest apple turnovers you’ve ever tasted. Baking with the kiddos is a messy affair, but oh-so-worth-it for the memories and the delicious results.
