Too much soap again?
Put a rubber band around the soap dispenser as a 'stopper.'
It'll limit the amount pumped out, giving just the right dollop for little hands.

Are you ready for a 22% rise in car insurance?
This purported increase is driven by inflation, costly repairs, and more weather-related claims, with the average premium expected to reach $2,469 by year-end.
To mitigate costs, drivers are encouraged to regularly shop for insurance and explore discounts.

Halloween is knocking on our doors, and guess what?
We've got the cutest, yummiest, and, okay, healthiest treat to spook up the dessert table!
Say hello to Strawberry Ghosts! 🍓👻
Why You'll Love It
🍓 Healthy and Sweet: A less sugary option for your Halloween spread.
👻 Adorably Spooky: Kids will love making and eating them!
📝 Ingredients
1 pint strawberries, rinsed and dried
8 oz melting chocolate, white
1 oz melting chocolate, chocolate (for face)
Parchment paper
👩🍳 Instructions
Wash and Dry: Rinse the strawberries and let them dry on a paper towel.
Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If it curls, use a small amount of cooking spray to keep it flat.
Melt Chocolate: On low heat, melt white chocolate, stirring constantly until smooth.
Dip Strawberries: Dip strawberries into the melted chocolate and place them on the parchment paper.
Cool and Decorate: Let the chocolate harden, then pipe on eyes and mouths using melted milk chocolate. Refrigerate to set.

📌 Notes
Double Boiler Magic: If you’re like me and worry about burning chocolate, use a double boiler. DIY it if you don't have one!
Storing Like a Pro: Keep these cuties in an airtight container. Room temp if you're eating the same day, fridge if you’re holding onto them.
No Sweat: A paper towel + baking soda combo at the bottom of your storage container will keep those pesky beads of condensation away.
They’re not just cute, they’re kiddo-approved! (And hey, at least they’re getting some fruit this Halloween.)
Perfect for little hands to help make and big mouths to help eat! 🎃🤗

Mini Cork Love Bugs

For this one, you'll need some corks, markers, and googly eyes.
The kids will love gluing the eyes and coloring the corks to life.
Use some construction paper to punch out heart-shaped wings and keep everything on a tray to avoid roll-away frustration.
The tutorial is here.
