I don’t generally get dressed up for Halloween. I mean, after all the blood, sweat and tears that I spend on creating costumes for my 3 kids each year, I’d rather just admire my hard work on them instead of worrying about myself… not to mention, there is rarely time to think about what I’m…
I’ve never really been one to decorate for Halloween. I’ve tried in the past, but was more than happy to remove it when Halloween was done. Call me crazy, but black and orange and skeletons and spiderwebs don’t scream “cozy” to me, and it always just made me feel uncomfortable in my own home. So…
Oh, pumpkin carving. I avoided it for SO many years. When the kids were young, I convinced them that painting or coloring their pumpkins would be SUPER FUN. And it totally worked (see here)… for a while. Now that they are older, we have started actually carving our pumpkins like normal people. My husband loathes this activity.…
I’m guessing if you’ve got an elementary-aged boy in your home you know ALL about NINJAGO. And you probably also know that there is LEGO NINJAGO movie coming out September 22nd. A movie which, if I’m being honest, I have no problems going to see with my five year old. I took him to see…
I’ve said many times on this blog, “I don’t like Halloween.” But man, this year was so.much.fun. My kids continue to teach me that there is joy in so many little things. And taking them trick-or-treating this year was a blast. The Mr. and I both thought that this year seemed like the first “real”…
I’m totally on top of Halloween. I’ve totally finished my kids’ costumes. Halloween could be tomorrow and I would so be ready. Er…. Maybe not so much. Maybe I haven’t started any of it. But I did make this cute sneak peek board for you to look at, so that counts for something, right?!? Can…
We’ve got a whole gang of superheros in our house this Halloween. Lincoln wanted to be Ironman, so I obliged and bought him a super cheesy packaged costume. He looks hilariously adorable, so I can’t complain. Mia wanted to be Batgirl, which I was happy about because I knew it would be easy to put…
Here comes Halloween. Anyone else still working on costumes? I’m sure I’m not the only one… I am only making one costume this year (which is sort of miraculous) and it’s Bat Girl, so I’m really just throwing a tutu and a Batman shirt together and calling it a day. I just need to make…
Disclosure: I received a complimentary Switch Witch in order to put her to the test with my kids; however, all opinions and musings in this post are entirely my own. Thank God my kids don’t have allergies. We’ve never had to fear peanuts or eggs or dander… we’re very lucky. We have, however, had to…
I’m not usually all that into Halloween. It’s an ok holiday, but it’s never really been my jam. Maybe it’s because I have to spend the weeks following explaining to my kids why they can’t have another lollipop because Mommy doesn’t want to pay to fill their cavities (also because Mommy ate all the lollipops…
