Since I was a kid, Halloween has hands down been my favorite holiday.  My birthday is in October so I’m sure that’s a big part of it, but it always felt like a fresh start to me.  The weather is better, football games have something nostalgic and comforting about them….even though I don’t like football…October is just an all around special month to me. Knox on the other hand – is obsessed with every single holiday there ever was.  We actually laugh about it and call him “holiday boy” because of how over the top he is!  It’s honestly just the cutest thing ever.

He will count down the days before each holiday and/or birthday, and he has a light in his eyes that takes me back to when I was his age. Back when you really didn’t have a care in the world and the world was in fact magical if you wanted it to be. You can probably relate if you’re over the age of 21. Truth is, as you get older… the world tends to feel less and less magical. So Jeans decided it was time to bring some of that magic back this year.

Doing something fun and “magical” for your kids doesn’t need to break the bank, either. Start by picking one little area in or outside of your house so that you don’t get overwhelmed.  Decorate one little corner and let your kids help decide where each decoration should go.  I promise they will LOVE it.  Knox and I snagged the cutest little Halloween decorations from Walmart this year, and the prices were incredible!  I snagged these “blood” filled tumblers for $2.98 each.

Walmart had such a big selection of decorations including skeletons!  I found the cutest little skeletons and Knox decorated this area on the porch all by himself!  How adorable is this little country scene?  Honestly cracks me up because it’s perfect for our little house in Richardson, Tx.

Knox has been loving skeletons so much that he decided to be a ninja skeleton this year.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about a scary Halloween costume.  But I have to admit that I sorta miss the cuddly animal costumes he used to wear (up until he became too cool for school this year). 😉

The moral of this story?  Our kids can teach us some pretty incredible lessons if we let them. Sometimes I question who is teaching who more. Knox allows me to see the world through his sparkly blue eyes…and it’s without a doubt a much more beautiful (and magical) place to be.

Do you see this happy little face?  This boy has been an old soul since the day he was born.  He’s always preferred using his imagination over screen time…and it was one of those things that we never even had to encourage.  So naturally, when I mentioned to this old little soul of mine that he would be getting his very own record player, he was pretty pumped.

There’s just something about the timeless sound of a vinyl record player that can’t be replaced.  I think Knox already feels that at his young little age which is just so stinkin’ cool and makes me even more proud to be his momma.

Not sure if you were aware, but Walmart.com is KILLING it right now in all departments, including their selection of vinyl bluetooth record players (and records). How cool is this teal green Victrola record player?!  There is a built-in portable suitcase which makes it super convenient to travel with or to just take it from room to room.  It also has three different speeds so that you can adjust the sound accordingly. It’s under $40 and free delivery as always!

Walmart.com also offers a wide variety of brand new vinyl records, all at super low prices.  I made sure to snag a few records that brought me back to my high school days…this Foo Fighter album happens to be one of Knox’s faves.

My five year old maaay have gotten his love for nostalgic things from his momma. 😉  After we snagged this record player, I purchased a few brand new vinyl’s from Walmart.com and then hit up an old record store for some oldies to add to our collection.

My suggestion when your kids are going wild?  Start with an affordable record player like this one from Walmart.com and introduce them to some oldies.  I have a feeling they will LOVE getting to lower that needle into the grooves as they listen to the scratchy sound of their favorite vinyl.

Let’s try to slow down a bit and set the tone for this next generation.  Let’s go back to the basics and teach our kids that sometimes the best things in life are the simplest.
