Hi Reader,

I hope you're doing well.

If you're looking for a fun activity for your kids that not only helps them get the wiggles out, but also teaches life skills, check out Great Start Karate's online karate classes!!

My 10-year-old has been part of Great Start Karate for 4 years now and has worked his way up from starting as a white belt beginner to working on his Junior Black Belt!!

Beyond gaining karate skills, his confidence and leadership skills have flourished, and he has so much pride in how much he's achieved over the past 4 years since starting the program when he was 6 years old.

Online Karate Class

Great for Self-Defense, Confidence, and Life Skills.

Have a great week!!

Prefer to shop on Etsy since you already have an account there? You can still use Newsletter20 for an extra 20% off everything in my shop!

I'm also on Teachers Pay Teachers! Unfortunately, they don't have universal coupon codes (yet!), and only allow things related to teaching, but a LOT of my products are over there if you'd prefer to shop on TPT.

Three boys in Halloween costumes playing Twister

. Hi Reader, I hope you're doing well. Last week I shared some Halloween Activities for kids, and then my husband came up with more over the weekend, so I thought I'd share. I'll still link the post from last week, in case you missed it, but I'll also include what he thought of below: We were going to go to a couple of trunk-or-treat events, but it was raining, so the kids didn't want to go out. Which we were totally fine with. Instead, he came up with the following activities, which may be...

Fun Halloween Activities for Children

. Hi Reader, I hope you're doing well. 'The Way it Really Is' is officially AD-FREE!! I noticed there was a malicious ad that kept popping up, was unable to be closed, and took people to a bad site.

I have to say, it looks so much better and is easier to read!! With Halloween fast approaching, below I'll share a blog post with fun Halloween...

Halloween Costumes and Decor on a Budget

. Hi Reader, I hope you're doing well. I'm excited, though a little nervous; I just emailed Journey, who runs the ads on my blog, officially breaking up with them. I've gone from making $60 a month to $20 a month, and it's just not worth it to have ads on my site; it's not a good user experience for you, my readers! It'll be another 30 days until I can remove the ad code from my site, but I'm excited that soon, they'll be gone! I'm a little nervous because, though the income was rather small,...
