10 Things We Want to Do in October

This post contains affiliate links. I received an outfit free to review, but I love putting my boy in cute clothes anyway.

Last week was a big change in temperature. In the mornings now, it’s nice and cool and definitely feels like fall out there. Dressing Charlie for preschool now means long sleeves and long pants most days!

10 Things to do in October

Look how grown up my boy looks in his newest Fabkids outfit! This shirt is super soft and I want one in my size! The pants seem to run a bit big and the shirt is a bit long, but tucked the shirt into the pants and he was good to go.

Safer Window Coverings for Kids + Giveaway

I received free window coverings in exchange for this post, but my love for keeping kids safe is all my own!

October is Window Covering Safety Month! Did you know that’s a thing? Well, it is and it’s a very important issue to address. Because window coverings with cords are cited as one of the top 5 hidden hazards in the home, we jumped at the opportunity to work with Blinds.com to make our window coverings safer!

Window Covering Safety Month 

We moved into our townhouse about 6 months before we were married. We knew we would have children in this house, but didn’t think about everything that entailed house-wise. The blinds that came with the house are what stayed up until just recently. Once we had Charlie, we tried some of those cord keepers for the blinds, but they seemed to fall off and become more of a hassle, so our cords were often draped through one of the top blinds to keep it out of his reach.
