Halloween is right around the corner! You may be planning on buying some costumes at a store for your kids, but there are also many different DIY costumes online that you can make yourself. A website called Redbook wrote about this in their article called “15 DIY Halloween Costumes for Kids That Are Too Freaking Cute”.

We wanted to show you four of our favorite costumes from the Redbook post, which you can find below. If you like this and want to see more, you can check out the full article by clicking here.

• LEGO BLOCKS: This totally customizable costume is too cute to pass up, especially if your kid is a Lego lover. Pick their favorite color, then grab some spray paint, solo cups, and cardboard before building your next masterpiece. Get the tutorial at The Frugal Navy Wife.

• PAC MAN: You may be more of an ’80s video game lover than your kid is, but come on — this idea will win major cool points from the adults. But once your little guy knows Pac Man chomps down on candy, ghosts, and even fruit, he’ll be on board. Get the tutorial at The Effortless Chic

• ANIMAL EARS: Baby costumes are the cutest by default, and something simple works best since they’ll likely fall asleep anyway. Pair the headband with a matching onesie and consider the job done. Get the tutorial at Lia Griffith.

• OCTOPUS: This adorable sea creature costume only takes about an hour to put together, a major plus for anyone short on time. (So, um, everyone.) Plus, you can repurpose the tights and clothes for a regular school outfit. Get the tutorial at Giggles Galore

Welcome to the J&D Ultracare blog! If you are new here, J&D Ultracare is a home care nursing agency that specializes in providing professional nursing services to the medically fragile population. We’re an agency that’s primarily devoted to pediatrics and we see clients in Rockland, Dutchess, Putnam County, Westchester, Sullivan, Ulster, and Orange Counties.

Not only is it important to stay healthy, it’s also important to make sure your kids are happy and engaged as well. However, in these uncertain times, it may be difficult to do the same activities you’re used to doing. That’s why we want to show you some great camping activities you can do with your family in your own backyard!

We’ve picked five fun backyard camping activities from a Country Living article called “25 Backyard Camping Ideas That’ll Make You Feel Like You’re in the Great Outdoors”. If you find these activities fun, we encourage you to read the full article by clicking here. Otherwise, here are five of our favorite camping activities from the article:

1. Pitch a Backyard Tent: You can go two ways here: Grab your best camping tent from the garage and pop it open, or get crafty and create a teepee for the kids.
2. Build a Backyard Firepit: Camping—even in the backyard—calls for a fire (you can’t have s’mores without it, right?). To keep it contained safely, a sturdy flagstone firepit will keep the family warm and on a sugar high all night long.
3. Play a Backyard Game: Sure, you could bring board games and cards outside, but if you’re in your backyard anyway, why not break out some fun lawn games? All ages will enjoy a game of corn hole, washer toss, badminton, Frisbee, giant Jenga, croquet, and more.
4. Hang String Lights in the Backyard: Simple string lights add a magical touch to backyard camping. Hang strands of lights from four poles—mapping out your campsite—or hang them inside your backyard tent. Check out backyard string light ideas for fun ways to light up your space all year long.
5. Watch a Movie: Turn an old white bedsheet or a canvas drop cloth into the big screen for an outdoor movie night. Spread out blankets, throw pillows in front of the tent, and start the show with camp-themed movies like Troop Beverly Hills, The Parent Trap, or one of these classic kids’ movies.

As summer begins to wind down, we’re get closer and closer to fall every day! Fall officially starts on September 22, but we want to show you some activities that you can do with your kids next season so you can plan ahead. On a blog called Smart Kids 101, they wrote about 50 different fall activities that are very fun and engaging for children. These activities range from baking desserts to playing in leaf piles!

If you want to learn more, you can read about all 50 activities on their blog by clicking here. Otherwise, check out four of our favorite activities from the Smart Kids 101 blog below:

1. Visit a Farmer’s Market: Fall is the perfect time to visit a Farmer’s Market. The weather is lovely and the seasonal pickin’s are good. Look for things available especially in autumn, like apples, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and butternut squash. Shop early in the day for the best selection! Need inspiration? Check out this amazing collection of recipes for Fall Harvest Foods from the Food Network. Just watch that drooling over your keyboard.
2. Go Apple Picking: If you’re fortunate enough to live near an apple orchard, this is one of the must-do fall activities. Visit the Pick Your Own website to search for a place near you if you’re not sure where to go. And make sure you bring a camera with you to capture more awesome photos of your fall activities. Pick enough apples to use for one (or more!) of the other apple-related fall activities on this list.
3. Bake Apple Cider Donuts: Apple Cider Donuts. Need I say more? One of my favorite fall activities is to fire up the oven with some yummy seasonal treats. So bake them, wrap them up, and share with a friend. I can’t think of a better gift to say, “welcome, fall!” These just look too amazing to keep all to yourself.
4. Rake the Leaves: No, I promise I’m not just sneaking a chore onto this list. But you do have leaves and they do need to be raked, so let’s call it serendipity. As you rake, have fun with it! Let the kids help use the “grown up” tools (be safe, of course) and pile all the leaves up in the middle of the yard. Once the pile is nice and fluffy, take turns jumping in it! This is a classic fall fun activity — and if you play your cards right, you can get your leaves cleaned up at the same time.
