The weather has been cooling, and the rain is starting. With the change in weather the creepy-crawly spiders are starting to find their way into the house, it gives me the shivers! It’s tough to be a Mom and have to pretend not to be afraid of them! So in honour of all the Moms (and Dads) out there who put on a brave face, I thought I’d feature these easier-to-handle, cute and educational mostly sparkly spiders.
Sparkling Spider Fun
There was an outstanding 183 ideas linked up last week with Mom’s Library! It’s so great to see it growing! To see all of the great ideas submitted, be sure to check out last week’s Mom’s Library where I focused on Autumn Nature Fun.

October 23, 2013 at 7:33 pmI envy the link-up too! That’s awesome! I would like to do one with somebody–but have to find the right fit!

October 23, 2013 at 7:58 pmEeeeek Spiders! I’m not a fan of REAL spiders, but I’m a fan of this kind! 🙂 So fun! Thanks so much!
Crystal McClean says
October 24, 2013 at 11:13 amI’m definitely NOT a fan of real spiders! My son thinks it’s funny to point out all of the shop decorations to me to see my exagerated reactions!

Crystal McClean says
October 24, 2013 at 11:12 amI’m right with you this year! We’re just putting up our decorations from last year this morning! I’m feeling craftier already with the inspiration around me now 🙂
