Thank you to Tree Top for sponsoring this post, our easy Halloween Craft and our play date at the LA Zoo.Looking for an easy Halloween craft or(non-candy based) classroom party snack? This easy Halloween craft using Tree Top Apple Sauce pouches is PERFECT!

Ok, so this is my fifth Halloween as a mom…..but it's my fifteenth as a teacher.  Want to hear about my first year teaching on Halloween? I taught first grade at the time and (rookie mistake) decided to let the kids eat WHATEVER they wanted.  Can you imagine? Pounds of candy.  Millions of cupcakes.  Three kids got sick.  And I was horrified.

Pro Tip: want to impress your child's teacher? A non-candy contribution to this year's class Halloween party will be much appreciated.

Last weekend, Lydia and I hosted a small event with our friends at Tree Top to share our favorite non-candy Halloween party gift featuring Tree Top's amazing apple sauce pouches (trust, they're a must stock for busy families on the go).

An Easy Halloween Craft: Mummy Apple Sauce Pouches

Aren't these adorable? They're easy as pie to make, every kid who joined us at our Tree Top playdate made one (even the toddlers).  If you're hosting playdates between now and Halloween…..they're a perfect, simple craft.  All we needed besides our Tree Top pouches? White crepe paper, glue dots (the best for no clean up), and googly eyes.  Kids could easily make the mummies themselves and were so proud (plus they loved adding a million eyes to each pouch)!

Shop all Supplies:

The Tree Top Apple Sauce pouches are delish, and perfect for play date snacks!

See? You could even bring the supplies to a park, a girl scout meeting, or anywhere you want to keep your kids entertained!

Looking for a healthy snack to bring on play dates? These Tree Top pouches are the BEST!

We served a ton of delicious food at our event (my amazing friend at Ready, Set, Nosh created a kid friendly menu of Halloween snacks that complimented our Tree Top Pouches perfectly).  We served all flavors of Tree Top's apple sauce pouches: classic, cinnamon, strawberry, mango, tropical, and mixed berry (the tropical was a HUGE surprise hit with the kids in attendance)!  One of my favorite things about Tree Top's pouches, their new clear packaging allows you to see the food before eating!

This Halloween event at the LA Zoo was a total blast!

Looking for great preschooler backpacks? I love these bat backpacks from Skip Hop!

We also had amazing gift bags at the event, aren't these backpacks adorable? The Bailey the Bat backpacks from Skip Hop were the perfect containers….our event was at the Los Angeles Zoo during their annual Boo at the Zoo festival.  Our bags were filled with cases of Tree Top apple sauce pouches, and the perfect compliment…….Halloween plate sets from Replay Recycled.  This awesome company creates plates from recycled milk jugs!

And the kids' favorite part of the day? We got to meet Tree Top's own mascot, Seymore Good!  He even taught the kids his very own dance…..the Seymore shuffle.

Looking for Halloween fun? Be sure to stop by the Tree Top booth at the Los Angeles zoo during Boo at the Zoo!My favorite part of the day? Was how Tree Top helped us to help those in need.  While we crafted, snacked, and taste tested apple sauce flavors……Tree Top was giving back to theLos Angeles Regional Food Bank.  For each time members of our playdate used the hashtag #seethegood, Tree Top donated a case (up to 40 cases) of their delicious pouches to the Los Angeles Food Bank.  Isn't that cool?

It was the most fun, and easiest play date I've hosted in a long time……and now I'm obsessed with thinking of more fun and easy craft projects I can do with our Tree Top pouches!  Suggestions?!?

🎉HAPPY REOPENING DAY TOONTOWN!!!!!🎉⠀ ⠀ W 🎉HAPPY REOPENING DAY TOONTOWN!!!!!🎉⠀⠀We loved visiting yesterday for a preview of this reimagined area.  It’s absolutely perfect for getting your wiggles out, having a picnic and yup……..getting your Disney feels fix.⠀⠀My top recommendations when visiting this new area?⠀⠀1) mobile order from Cafe Daisy…..we loved the pizza options and the cold brew⠀2) play play play in Goofy’s How-To-Play Yard, and inside his house…..⠀3) take the time to walk through Minnie and Mickey’s houses, you’ll probably see a surprise friend or two!⠀4) absolutely yes to the picnic basket from Good Boy! Grocer.  It’s a STELLAR price and a really fun experience to pick out your own snacks.⠀5) Mickey’s and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is a perfect full family ride.  I’d suggest trying for this earlier in the day if you can.⠀6) Keep an eye out for Pete, it’s so much fun to see him wandering the area.⠀⠀#Disneyland #Toontown #Mickey #Minnie #MMRR @disneyland @disneyparks invited guest
✨There’s something in my eye…….oh it’s j ✨There’s something in my eye…….oh it’s just pixie dust.⠀⠀When I think of Lydia’s earliest visits to Disneyland….I think of Toontown.  I think of Minnie’s House and meeting Mickey and playing next to Goofy’s House.  I think of the adorable landscape and the magic that the area creates for the youngest and the young at heart.⠀⠀✨Today we visited Toontown for a sneak peek before it’s reopening tomorrow…..and yup, that pixie dust definitely got in my eye.  More than once.⠀⠀Toontown is even more magical than it was (partially thanks to the addition of a cold brew on the menu at Cafe Daisy (good call Disney food and beverage team). ⠀⠀✨My favorite moments from today’s sneak preview?⠀1️⃣ we saw Pete. He’s even better than I’d hoped.2️⃣ I love love love the food options in Toontown! Highlights: the picnic basket snack option Good Boy! Grocers, the cold brew and a delicious gluten free fold over pizza (regular looked great too)3️⃣ the new play areas are amazing! Goofy’s How to Play Area is phenomenal and filled with a ton of new interactions. ⠀Happy reopening Toontown.  Can’t wait to see you again real soon. ⠀⠀Have you visited Toontown? Are you planning to come see all updates?⠀⠀#Disneyland #Toontown #Mickey #Minnie #MMRR @disneyland @disneyparks invited guest

There are people cheering you on…..and you don’t even realize it.I learned a LOT during the 7 months of training for this race.  I learned that I should stretch and warm up (thanks pulled muscle for that life lesson), I learned that small progress over time leads to achieving big goals.  I learned that sunshine and being outside makes me a happier person.  I learned that I’m more of an athlete than I thought I was. But most of all? I learned……there are a whole lot of people in your cheering section and you might not even know they’re sitting there.  After I pulled this muscle, I was amazed by the sweet and kind messages while I tried to prepare to run my first 10k with an injury.  But NOTHING prepared me for the ovwhelming amount of kindness and support that flooded into my inbox when I crossed the finish line.  From the early morning you can do this messages to the ones that came in throughout the race to the inspiring amount of support as I iced my pulled muscle…..it brought me to tears.And the amazing thing? When Jennifer and Lashawn and I found each other at the finish line….they said the same thing.  It’s not just me.  We all have a cheering section.  And wow, do they show up when you may not be expecting them.Got a big goal? Working on something new? Share it in the comments.  I’d love to join your support team.#medalmonday #rundisney
