We love visiting the Detroit Zoo, located in Royal Oak, Michigan - we are annual pass zoo members and enjoy watching the change of seasons at the zoo. As the weather gets crisper, the animals are sometimes moving around outside more often and more visible, so its fun to check in at different times of year. We visited the zoo on Columbus Day since the girls were both off of school, and I had forgotten that since they hold "Zoo Boo" parties at the zoo some evenings in the Fall - it would be decorated for Halloween as well!
They had a ton of great pumpkin displays and even some fun Fall activities like a mini hay bale maze. The girls loved seeing the zoo decorated for Halloween and the pumpkin animals were some of their favorites!
Check out the different decorations we saw in this "Day in the Life" style video on YouTube!
I am so excited to finally see my Halloween costume come together and just had to share it! For Halloween, my husband and I had planned to dress like characters from the Disney Pixar movie 'Inside Out' - Disgust and Anger! After finding the perfect dress at ModCloth - I was happy to find the "essential" Disgust accessories as well!
I also took a few minutes to try everything on and try out the Disgust character... not only do I think it is going to be a fabulously fun choice for Halloween - I also discovered that I REALLY like wigs, who knew?

"Plan with Me" videos are a new type of video I've been trying out on my channel recently - and I think they are quite fun! I've enjoyed trying new types of planners, and most recently have been testing out the Erin Condren life planner and Plum Paper Planner!

It was requested for me to start doing the occasional "Q&A" type video... so I started doing this in September 2015! For my first Q&A, I pulled the most asked questions in the comments section of my videos!
As always, feel free to leave a question in the comments - and you might see YOUR question in the next Q&A video!
Questions:
1. Where were the cats over the summer?
2. What does your husband do for a living?
3. What is my Master's degree in?
4. Am I going to go back to work when Natalie is in school?
Bonus question 5... Are we going back to Walt Disney World SOON?!? ;)

I'm excited to announce... I am a 2015-2016 Chick-fil-A Mom Panel Member! I was honored to be chosen to be a part of this great group of moms!
Thanks to Chick-fil-A for the awesome welcome gift!

We've almost made it to the finish line... today is the day!
As I reflect on our (long) move, I definitely have gain an appreciation for DOORS that can be shut between rooms and also I believe have insights into helpful lists of things to have when staying in an extended stay and moving with children. I will have upcoming posts on those.
For now... today is the day, and I will soon be able to wrap up my MOVING PLAYLIST! (Yay!) So I wanted to leave it here since it will slowly drop its way off of the front of BeingMommywithStyle. I'm looking forward to the adventure ahead - and all of the renovation & decoration projects headed our way too!!
