One of the treats I most associate with fall (aside from pumpkin everything, candy corn, apple cider, and sweet potato casserole) is the caramel apple. Messy, sweet, and basically a health food (I mean, most of it is made from an apple, right? And what did Benjamin Franklin say about apples? See? TOTALLY HEALTHY), caramel …
Every year I try to make a simple costume for my kids (and not even for Halloween…one thing I’ve learned about kids is that they truly don’t need a reason to dress up!). Currently, my kiddos are obsessed with Super Mario Party for the Nintendo Switch, and that’s what got me thinking I should make …
YAY for Halloween, right?! In our house, October is when the holiday madness (and fun) begins. And we kick it all off with Halloween. I created this Halloween countdown printable as a fun way for the whole family to get excited about the spookiest day of the year. Halloween Countdown Printable To use, print out …
Apparently, there are people in this world who hate candy corn. Until recently, I had no idea how polarizing these defenseless little candies could be. But apparently, they’re up there with black olives, raisins and water chestnuts (all of which I love) when it comes to Foods You Love or Hate. Well…I love them. I …
Halloween. Is. Almost. Here. I feel like Halloween is the gateway to Christmas, and for that, I love it. But I also love it because my kids love it. Before I had kids, I wasn’t super excited about Halloween – we didn’t get trick-or-treaters where we lived at the time, and it just seemed like …
When I was a thirteen, my grandmother took me to England. One of the things that made a deep impression on me was visiting the Tower of London. Not because it was scary and people were tortured and beheaded there and there were massive displays of medieval weaps. I mean, that was cool and all, …
I’m super excited to be working with Nintendo (so are my kids!). We received product so we could share our experiences with you. All opinions are my own. If there is a gamer in your life, you’ll be as excited as we are about the Nintendo Switch and this DIY Link costume! My kids are eight …
Well, ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for my quarterly food craft! I’m not crafty very often, but when I am…I like to use candy as my medium of choice. I mean, I can’t feel guilty about eating 32,000 candy corns before the second week of September has even started if it’s for a CRAFT, right?! …
True story: One Halloween, when I was in the third grade or so, my mom decided that she would not pass candy out that year. Because we lived in a neighborhood with only a handful of trick-or-treaters, most of the neighbors gave us full-size candy bars, or poured handful upon handful of candy into our pillowcases. The same …
If I can make this no-sew DIY Power Ranger costume, anyone can. Seriously. It’s made with tape. I am mostly not the kind of person who makes her kids’ Halloween costumes. In theory, I’d love to. Homemade costumes are cute, they fit better, they’re unique…homemade Halloween costumes are awesome! But you know those costumes you …
