What's spooky season without a table piled high with yummy treats and spooktacular theming? I mean, really. Even if you're not throwing a shindig, it can be fun to piece together a small buffet table for your family. Recently, I planned a small get together with our family and wanted to create a simple and spooky Halloween buffet table that would look cute and also be inviting to little hands.

If you've followed me for a while, you know that I adore Hocus Pocus. Like, I watch it year round and feel as if it's always a good time for a little Hocus Pocus.

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.

Monster Rice Krispie Bars
You'll find me doing the Monster Mash all week. In my sweat pants. With my unwashed hair in a messy bun balancing a glass of wine (after bedtime) and a paintbrush while noshing on pre-Halloween candy. We are well into Halloween week and we've been keeping busy with Halloween-themed snacks and activities. The kids are hopped up on sugar and less sleep than usual, having the time of their lives (hey, it's a pandemic, it doesn't take much)! Today, we kept the fun going with these fantastic monster ...

Easy Eyeball Cookies
I remember when Jude was still in public school. I would sign up to help with the holiday parties because I wanted to be a good mom -- specifically that Pinterest perfect mom that tries to do all the cool things all the time. My type-A shoulder person would scream "SIGN UP FOR ALL THE THINGS AND MAKE IT FANTASTIC" while my anxiety-ridden shoulder person would crumble in the background. Of course, party time would come around and I would find myself scrambling to come up with a snack, game, or ... VIEW POST
