I just love spooky season! Whether you go totally creepy for Halloween or you keep it toned down, there are so many ways to sprinkle touches of "spook" throughout your space!

How to Create a Simple yet Spooky Scene for Halloween
A Little Farmhouse Fall Inspiration
2020 has been one heck of a year. Between being pregnant with little monster number five and dealing with the ongoing pandemic, we are reeling. Time has both flown and stood still, it seems. As I sit here, I'm wondering where October went as we trudge right on in to November. Something you should know about me -- once Halloween ends (we're talking once the kids go to bed), it's Christmas time. I start decking the halls pretty darn early because it makes me HAPPY and because it takes so darn long ... VIEW POST
Glittery Glowing Monster Jars
Glitter. You either love it or hate it. I'm in the "love it as long as I don't have to clean it up" category. Let's be honest, if you decide to bust open the glitter, you're committing to one to two weeks of picking it out of everything. Like, every nook and cranny.

Whether you love or hate glitter, you're almost certain to appreciate this colorful, ... VIEW POST

Simple Ghostly Candied Apples
I'm always on the hunt for easy treats and recipes that one, my kids will actually eat and two, that are quick. I've spent quite a lot of time in the kitchen, carefully crafting something utterly and undeniably delicious. We're talking salivation city, folks. Only to have the kids turn up their noses or say the all too familiar, "I don't LIKE it." Can you relate? So I stumbled upon this recipe for simple ghostly candied apples that not only had the kids smiling from ear to ear but eating their ... VIEW POST
How To Make A Floating Ghost
I have a lot of fun decorating for the holidays. Halloween and Christmas are my favorites. All of my kiddos enjoy "helping," too. Monster number one is always thinking of more ways to heighten the spooky factor and is never satisfied! Honestly, he wants to turn this place into a replica of The Haunted Mansion and I'm totally here for it! While I'm always on the lookout for fun additions to our seasonal cache, it's a huge win if I can create pieces from items that I have lying around the house. ... VIEW POST
