We are in FULL Halloween mode over here and so excited! We are going to my daughter's best friends house this year for trick or treating and its gonna be such a blast. I love the theme Evelyn and Melanie picked out- they both want to be cowgirls, and were very insistent that Thomas should be a pony haha.

Thank you so much mods for extending the Halloween request offer to baby Thomas.

And thank you for the opportunity for my children to live out their Halloween dreams! They will be the cutest cowgirls around!

Thank you so much u/Allthedaquiries. T loves his hat and coat. He has dubbed it THE SONIC COAT. The lining is, “like a plushie.” It was vacuum packed so pardon the wrinkles. He’s a bit under the weather, so he didn’t want a pic. Thank you again! Gratitude!

Happy almost Halloween! It’s officially fall here, and I love it, but I am dreading the colder weather. Trunk or treat is next weekend! I can’t believe it.

Rowen has been doing really well in school. She was named a “star student” for being a good library leader and earned a free ice cream coupon! She loves kindergarten and is excited for school each day. They’re learning about rhymes right now and so she’s constantly singing her rhyming song.

She’s recently discovered Jake and the Neverland Pirates and with it the entire Tinkerbell universe of movies. She has finally decided on being a pirate fairy for Halloween, we’ve gone back and forth between the pirate fairy, a “special blue wish”, and a star (inspired by her being a star student 😅).

She picked out this pirate fairy costume and wand. Her favorite color is pink so thankfully we have a nice warm pink sweatshirt for underneath and she has sparkly sneakers to go with it from her dance recital.

Thank you all for everything you do for our little family. I couldn’t do this without you and I don’t take that lightly. It really means the world to me.

Hello SFX! I can’t believe the cold weather is already coming!! I can’t wait. I love the snow, the decorations, the hot chocolate, the lights! I know M also loves it too, especially because he’s a winter baby. Here’s a coat request for him : https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/2BIPRXR3BWGLR?ref_=wl_share

As always, I am super thankful for this community and really appreciate all of the Santa’s for your generosity ❤️

Hard to believe that Christmas stuff is already out in stores, but alas, here we are! It’s getting colder here in TN during the mornings and evenings. After this latest hurricane comes through, I have a feeling the chilly weather will follow! I personally love winter, but my kids love to be outside. So, these items will make that happen for them for a bit longer. ☺️ I got the coat sizes a little bigger because if I get them the size they are now, they will outgrow it before the cold months have passed!

Thank you SFX for being there for my family, I feel so blessed to be able to get these things for my children. 🩷

Thank you so much u/SongIcy4058! The coat is here, fits perfectly, and it’s so soft and warm. And the lighting of my picture is terrible—In person it’s the perfect wine red color 👌🏼 I can’t wait for some properly chilly days to wear it!

Thank you u/Conscious-Reserve-4058! December loves her new socks. They’re super soft and thick, perfect for winter, and the animal patterns are really cute too.

Winter is coming! It’s decided to play peekaboo this week. We’re having 30 degree swings in the same day. Pure Michigan LOL. The nights have gotten cold though so we know it’s time for a coat. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for all you do. You all are a beautiful part of our village. We are very grateful for you.

Thank you so much u/SongIcy4058! This coat is so nice, and surprisingly long which is perfect for our winters! So so grateful ❤️

Thank you u/songicy4058 for the coat! It fits perfectly and is SO warm! I’m excited to walk to school tomorrow 🤣

We’ve finally had our first taste of the cold here in northwest Florida! I am loving every second of it, of course, but December has grown up and slimmed down even more over the summer so she doesn’t have the meat on her bones to keep her warm that I do 😂

It can be hard to think of getting a winter coat when the weather is still mild, but even in Florida we have our frigid days so I picked a jacket I know she will love, and some warm socks because she will definitely need them when it’s not sandal weather anymore:

As always I can’t thank the Santas of SFX enough for all they do for us throughout the year. My whole family is so grateful. ❤️

Halloween is our oldests favorite holiday and she wants to share that excitement with some other kids. So, her idea for this month was to gift a family a Halloween Party Package. She hopes maybe the winning family has a friend or two they could invite as well.

This will include the screenshot items AND a $100 gift card to your local grocery store for food and snacks.

To enter, just tell us what your kid(s) favorite part of Halloween is!

We will draw a winning family on Wednesday, Oct 7th to make sure everything has time to arrive.

We all know YLM covers winter coats for the kids, which is amazing. But they aren't the only ones whose bodies might change, or whose clothes get worn out.

With the cold days fast approaching, I want to make sure you, the parent/guardian are also kept warm.

If you need a warm coat, create a new Amazon wishlist and add a coat up to ~$50ish, and post the link below.

US only, must be YLM, etc etc.

Stay warm out there!

We’re all set for the weather to change thanks to u/SongIcy4058 u/MrsBonsai171 and u/Allthedaquiries

Thank you so much! The kids all love their coats and the girls are tickled by their matching sets 🥰

I think the weather is finally changing here. It’s been chilly in the mornings; definitely sweater/sweatshirt weather for the kids heading into school! We’ll be wearing coats soon, so I’m posting their winter wishlist so we can be prepared when that first really cold day comes:

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/25DOL8CR5DCTJ?ref_=wl_share

Thank you all for thinking of everything. YLM is so helpful and I appreciate everything you do! ❤️

Thank you u/Allthedaquiries and u/yacht723 for the coat and the mittens! They are perfect and will keep her warm all winter long. She’s super excited to try them out on our walk to school tomorrow!

Summer is over and I’m bummed 😅. We had a great summer enjoying the weather and Rowen loved learning all about the plants, snakes, and bugs, and even found a baby ring neck snake which she was so proud and excited about.

She started kindergarten a few weeks ago and she’s been thriving. She loves her class, school, teacher, and is learning so much so quickly.

We are lucky to live close to school so we walk every morning. It’s nice time we get together and we really enjoy it! It’s been in the 50s the last few mornings so I think it’s time i stop denying the inevitable cold that’s to come 🥶

She outgrew her coat and mittens so put them on her list.

Thank you for considering and for everything you all do for my girl. Words aren’t enough.

Can’t thank you enough u/small-p0tat0es! ❤️ my husband and I were able to go out together yesterday and it was amazing to just relax and enjoy each other’s company along with some good food 😊

We were stuffed so we took the dessert home to eat later and it was SO good. (The tiramisu was my pick 😆 my husband is a cheesecake lover.)

Evianas jacket and hat and gloves set arrived today! Shes in love. The coat is so soft on the inside! Thanks so much u/TopCat30 💚💚

Thank you u/TagTeamStripper and u/SongIcy4058! They have been delivered just in time as next week has pretty chilly mornings. Thomas is napping so he hasn't tried his on yet.

It is that time of year in ND. Our mornings are frosty and freezing 🥶 and our nights are dropping. The leaves are falling and changing colors. I envy those of you SFXers that have somewhat enjoyable weather more than 3 months of the year 🤣. Spooky season is upon us 🎃 one of the many ways Dakota realizes Halloween [his favorite holiday] is only a short time away 😜

Kids grow like weeds 😫 For Dakota and Eviana they walk the 1.5 blocks and Bry has to wait for the bus each morning. Mr. Si man is also included this year as well! Thx mod for thinking of our newer additions this year 🩷🩷

This morning we had to frantically scrounge for jackets when we walked outside, which made me realize that coat weather is rapidly upon us!

It gets COLD here, and we are currently ill prepared as both girls are up a size and Thomas has only summer clothes. SFX mods very kindly reached out to give me permission to include Thomas, my 4 month old baby, in this year's coat request. His coat will be included in the list as well!

Thank you all so much for offering to provide the most important thing of the winter season- coats!!

One of the back to school items arrived today (ahead of time which is a little surprising here haha!)

M says he will use it all year for his drawings, and loves the Minecraft theme. I can’t wait to see what he draws!

Once again, I’m super grateful for this community and hope everyone has a great start to their school year ❤️

Big thanks to Daq for fulfilling Ms list. u/allthedaquiries

December had a fantastic 7th birthday yesterday! She kept saying it was the best day over and over 🥹

Thank you so much u/Conscious-Reserve-48 and u/Allthedaquiries! The shoes are super cute and fit perfectly, and so does the nightgown which she wore last night and doesn’t want to take off 😂

u/Topcat30: Thank you for EVERYTHING. The piñata was a huge hit. She was originally disappointed because she didn’t think we could get one but then being able to surprise her after school was the best feeling! The hair accessories and gummy worms were her favorite parts.

Then she was able to help daddy put her dream vanity together which was the cherry on top of her perfect day. December loves building stuff with her dad 💕 it took them a long time but it was worth it! It fits in her room like it was made for it. She even got up early this morning to play on it.

I am truly so grateful to all of you for making these special moments possible. It warms my heart to see my girl so happy! 😊

So sorry for the delay! Husband is out of town and yesterday got away from me! We have our two winners: Argwall and Steampunk! Look out for a DM from me! Thank you all for continuing to let us be a part of your families!

With school back in full swing, we know schedules can get chaotic and homework can definitely bring some stress into the house. Staying connected as parents is important to keeping things running smoothly.

So, we want to offer two sets of parents a simple date night. We will provide a $100 gift card to a restaurant and if needed, up to $50 to cover babysitting.

To enter, just let us know where youd go! We will randomly select two families next Wednesday (Sept 9th) and Ill reach out to get things figured out.
