I came across this idea LAST Halloween, but it was too late to execute it. So, I have been waiting an entire year to make these Spooky Popcorn Hands for Nathan to give out at his Halloween party at school. Aren’t they spooky? The fingernails are candy corn and the ring finger has a spider… >> View Post

Smores Pie from Pinterest :d
Pinterest is one of my favorite sites right now. You see all these thumbnails of different crafts, recipes, home decor, etc. and it allows you to ‘pin’ the ideas into folders so you can retrieve the ideas later. LOVE this site. Last week I needed to make a dessert for a Chili Cook Off at… >> View Post

Tonight was Trunk or Treat at Nathan’s school, on the same night as the final game for the World Series. Here I am with my candy loving birds. Since it was only me with the kids, I wasn’t able to decorate my car tonight and I was so bummed!! (Because I know I could have… >> View Post

Mummy Balls
We have a Halloween tree with some homemade ornaments and some store bought ornaments on it. Last year we did not get around to making new ornaments for it, but this year I wanted to give it a try again. Nathan was asking me ALL kinds of questions about Mummy’s on a drive home from… >> View Post

2011 Family Halloween Pictures
The last two years I have taken the kids pictures in their costumes at a park by my brother and SIL’s house before their Halloween party. It has worked out REALLY well, because the park is never crowded and they are already dressed up! Here are my two birds, Angry Bird and Baby Owl bird…. >> View Post

New Bedding, New Start
I really felt the need after the separation to make my bedroom more my own again. Especially when the old bedding was from our registry 8 years ago (its amazing it held out that long!). So, I was really excited to order a new set from West Elm. I fell in love with this yellow/white… >> View Post
Why would you need a play kitchen when you have your Momma’s kitchen?
Angry Bird Treat Bag Craft
Since both of my kids are going to be birds this Halloween (Nathan will be the red angry bird and Autumn a beautiful baby owl), I have started to think about their treat bags. Luckily, Autumn’s treat bag came along with her costume that I bought on EBay. However, there really isn’t any treat bags… >> View Post
Go! St. Louis Halloween 10K Run
Running has been difficult for me this year due to my separation and surprise toe surgery, but I am so glad I have stuck with it and was able to complete the same 10K that I did last year. This is my favorite race of all time, because you can run it in costume and… >> View Post
