One of my favorite parts about Otto’s room is this ‘A is for Airship’ print by artist Greg Paprocki who has the most delightful illustrations in his @babylitbooks. This one is from the adorable book “M is for Monocle” that Malissa gifted us a few years ago and was when I fell in love with his work. He is also a SUPER cool guy that I now consider a friend! What a cool time we live in ☺️

Can you still call it a nursery if the child sleep

Can you still call it a nursery if the child sleeping in it is now a toddler?! 😅 It only took me more than 3 years (Otto is 2.5 years old) to get his room done but I’m finally ready to share it! Today at ajoyfulriot.com > > link in bio!

I love our place at Christmas time but this year it is even cuter than usual! 👶🎄 #ajoyfulchristmas

Feeling extra excited for the holidays this year! What are some of your favorite traditions? I want to start some new ones this year with baby Pierce! #ajoyfulchristmas (and yes that’s lipstick on his face, I kiss him at least 1000x a day)

We’d never miss an opportunity to bake cookies for Santa (literally my daughter asks everyday if we can) so we were excited to join a bunch of other awesome bloggers for this year’s @pinholepress Holiday Bake Off!! 🎅🏼🍪✨ Head to their Insta to get all the deets (you could win $1000 in amazing prizes!!) and to our blog to get our recipe for chocolate orange chocolate chip cookies 🤤

Nope, didn’t get the tutorial up for this costume in time but it was done 2 weeks ago at least so the only stressful part about today was convincing everyone to get in it (my daughter had to be bribed out of her Mal from Descendants costume 🤣) HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! 🧡🖤🧡

Halloween is already so much fun with my little love! This year he is a sweet little red gummy bear and it was so easy to make - jammies, a hat with ears, and a sparkly felt tummy attached with Velcro! #ajoyfulhalloween #halloweencostume #gummybear

I remember like 5 SECONDS AGO people were sharing

I remember like 5 SECONDS AGO people were sharing their first costume DIYs (in Sept) and I was like omg already?! And now there’s only 4 days left and I’m like “Cool. We won’t even get pictures of our family costume in time 🤦🏻‍♀️” THIS though is my fave family costume to date 👆🏼Lion + cookie = sprinkled animal cookies! 🦁 🍪 🎪 My family did this in 2014 for our first time as a family but Malissa’s SIL absolutely killed it in 2016 🤩 DIY details for all of it on the blog 👻

Anyone partying this weekend?! I’m excited for our annual witches night out party tomorrow and to do ALL THE HALLOWEEN THINGS we can find 🎃 But I’m not hosting a single Halloween party this year 🙌🏼 Last year we did two in one day (one being my son’s first birthday carnival 👆🏼) and it WIPED ME OUT! So we’ll just enjoy everyone else’s hard work this year 😅 Happy Halloween Weekend everyone!!! 🧡🖤🧡🖤

Oh hey! BTW! My kids and I made a video together 😂 I waited approximately 6 months for my daughter to ask me (wanted her fully on board) and then 8 months to finally edit and post it (just watch the video if you want some insight as to why it takes me so long... 👩‍👧‍👦🤦🏻‍♀️) SO if you wanna be a little bit frustrated but also see some cute dancing, random discussions of animals, sprinkle-covered faces and a @spoonflower tutorial for balloon animal soft toys, then head to link in bio 😃

I think cardboard is by far my most favorite costume material 😂 (I just shared this year’s family cardboard costume in our stories!! 👩‍👧‍👦🌈) Versatile and free, what more could you wish for?! Carousel horse DIY on the blog (with templates!), absolutely one of my faves!!! 🎠 🎠 🎠

I’ve always thought my son Otto had such a vintage baby look to him and my brother in law nailed it on the head when he figured out he looks like the pudgy, big-eyed Bob’s Big Boy statue 😍 What do you think?! This DIY costume on the blog!! 🍔

My kids had a blast putting out the ‘flamingo costume party’ on our lawn this year. My favorite probably has to be the tie dye hippie one ✌🏼 Which is your fave?! DIY on blog, search ‘flamingos’ 👻

I waited a whole year to share my son Otto’s ONE

Looking forward to another weekend with my little

Looking forward to another weekend with my little love! Hope you all have wonderful fall activities planned this weekend! Best season of the year!! #ajoyfulweekend
