This week is PACKED on the North Shore with TONS of Halloween fun!

Will you be carving pumpkins this week? 🎃 The squirrels have been having a field day with ours- so if you waited good call! 💡Tip- spray with hair spray or cover in vaseline to keep the cute little buggers away!

Have the best week & be on the lookout for a new giveaway with the generous sponsor of our calendar, @loriniemanrealestate! She was so excited for the winner of the @pomeroywinnetka giveaway, she decided to gift another local business! Keep your 👀 peeled tomorrow… 😃

We recently caught up with Pop of Color owner, and all around crazy nice human, Jenny Piermont. 🎈This gal is non stop! Jenny is a local mom of 2, an Elementary School Counselor by day (in her 10 year!), and in her “spare” time the creative mind behind @popofcolor_jen !

“I was able to see the true joy balloons brought to people by seeing my daughter's, 2 and 5 years old, reactions to every arrangement. I have always loved giving personalized gifts, so the candy boxes were a natural addition to my business.”

We love the whimsical candy boxes, fun balloon numbers and sculptures, but especially the Pop Drops! 3,2,1 POP & watch as the balloons fly out! 💥 Such a fun addition to any celebration!

✨Check @popofcolor_jen highlights on Instagram for example videos, more product fun and contact information!✨

Hi friends! We have a very special local nonprofit spotlight for you and your young readers: Evanston-based @youngblacklit whose mission is to increase access to children’s books featuring Black characters for free! 📚 Link in bio ⬆️

CNSMoms had the pleasure of hearing from Co-Founder, Krenice Ramsey, about the nonprofit’s importance, why and how Young, Black & Lit was formed, and the positive impact on, and connections with, our local communities.

And, they are just getting started. Learn more about Young, Black & Lit and how you can get your community involved in this interview. Welcome, Krenice!

“It’s a beautiful morning, I think I’ll go outside for a while…” - The Rascals

Spend more time outside and less time in your kitchen through these gorgeous fall days with grab and go maple pumpkin pecan muffins!

We added a dollop of cream cheese frosting to make them a little extra & nixed the nuts for potential allergies little friends may have. Any way you go, they are DELISH!

How many times have you pulled out of the garage, clicked the door to close and it bounces right back up? 🚘 (Inevitably this always happens when we’re in a major hurry- am I right?!)

With kids playing sports or dragging bikes and scooters in and out, garage doors take a beating. ⚽️ They can come off track, or worse, easily. “Garage doors are built with high-quality material. However, no matter how durable the material is, garage doors can still become defective in no time. If you notice any damaged or broken part of your garage door, don’t neglect it.”

In our second part of Garage Door 101, Intergreat Solutions LTD talks maintenance and tips to keep your garage door running smoothly. 🏡 Follow the link in bio to learn more from Intergreat Solutions LTD! ⬆️
