I love DIY Halloween costumes – they are way cheaper than store-bought, and often, way cuter. When I think “homemade Halloween costume,” I often think about my babysitter when I was 6 who was a marathon sewer and used to sew her two kids some really elaborate costumes that put the rest of the neighborhood to…
My 2 1/2 year old loves cowboys. I’m not even sure where the obsession first began, but she started running around with anything she could find that was similar to a rope and yelling, “Yee-haw, I a cowboy!” So naturally, I figured making her a cowgirl for Halloween would be simple; she wouldn’t throw a…
With Halloween sneaking up, I thought I would post some photos of the DIY owl costume that I made for my daughter last year. It was really pretty easy, and it turned out adorable. For inspiration, I pooled together all the owl costume pics I could find (it’s very popular on Pinterest!) and then took…
I’m getting in the mood for Halloween (can you tell with all the Halloween posts I’ve been doing lately??), so I thought I’d share some photos of my “haunted” (or not so much) house. Here’s a peek at what’s going on in my home: I made this super-simple table runner with black fabric and strips…
Since Halloween is fast approaching, I’ve had spooky decorating on the brain. While looking for ideas online, I kept running across these amazing Halloween mantels.

As Halloween approaches, I’ve been keeping an eye out for some fun Halloween desserts that I can serve at our get-together. I ran across this round-up at Moms Review 4 You, and immediately began drooling. These desserts not only look spooky, but also super yummy! Check them out… See them all at Moms Review 4…
If you’re like me, you aren’t willing (or able) to shell out the hefty amount that a pre-packaged Halloween costume costs. Not to mention, those things look 10 times cheaper than their price. But not to worry, there are tons of great DIY costumes you can create for your kiddos this Halloween! And you still…
This weekend I raided some local vintage stores to put together a 1960s-themed costume that channels the show Mad Men. Although Halloween is coming up, I actually have a different reason for getting all dolled up… On Sunday, October 9, the Anaheim/Orange County Visitor and Convention Bureau is hosting the OC Blogger Bash for all…
I started decorating the house for Halloween this weekend, but was lacking some inspiration so, as usual, I turned to the trusty internet. I tend to shy away from hokey orange and black, skeletons, and fake legs stuck under closed doors, and lean more towards the classic black and white Halloween décor. I came across…
I can’t believe how fast the summer has gone… it’s slightly depressing, but then I am really excited to dust off my boots and scarves and usher in the fall season! October will be here in a month and it’s already time to start thinking about Halloween. Ideas are popping up all over the internet,…
