Maybe it is because I am from Texas, but no celebration is complete without a pinata. Sure you can buy one or even have one custom made for you, but why not try your hand at making your own. First, you can make it just the way you want and second, it is so much […]

Although we are getting close to Halloween, it is not to late to partake in all the festivities and cook up a fun Halloween snack for the kids (or yourself, I am not telling!). Today I made chocolate evil eye mummy cookies and creepy eyed chicken nuggets for the kids and they loved them. The […]

If you remember back and few months, I talked all about using one of those spin art machines to decorate sugar cookies. Well, my good friend Jennifer (of www.JenniferPerkins.com) suggested that I use just black icing to create spider webs using the same technique and they turned out super cute! They are a little bit […]

Of course you all know that I just had to restyle my built-in bookcases for Halloween. One of the main reasons that I wanted built-ins was so that I had a place to put all my holiday decor and Halloween is no exception. Right now they are decked out with Halloween goodness and I wanted […]

I am in the midst of finishing all my Halloween birthday party projects for the party next Saturday. One of the games that I have planned for the kids to play is a Halloween themed bean bag toss. My mom found some boards on one of her thrift excursions that had three holes and points […]

Are you planning on throwing a Halloween party this year? Looking for some last minute food ideas that aren’t packed with sugar and are a little bit healthier than traditional Halloween treats? I have a simple yet eye catching antipasto skewer that is just perfect for Halloween using orange sunburst cherry tomatoes, small pearl size […]

I have mentioned before that I am a carb girl, more specifically a bread girl. I can’t seem to say no to fresh warm bread and my go to soft pretzel recipe is always my downfall. Delicious, delicious downfall. These pretzels are the perfect bit of salty and buttery and the dough has just a […]

If you are at all interested in Halloween decor, I am sure you know all about the fun of adding googly eyes to everything. It is the perfect easy go to trick to turn anything into a monster or make it seem to come alive which is just perfect for Halloween! Like how I added […]

In my opinion, there is no kids craft item as versatile as the pipe cleaner.  I love to buy large packs of them, and then we all sit down and create fun headbands, necklaces, and other crafts with them. For fathers day one year we even made monster tiara’s with foam eyeballs for everyone to […]

When my sister and I were little, my mom used to make us a cake that she called spider leg cake. It went along with our spider house, that no matter what we did, always seemed to have daddy long leg spiders out on the porch. My mom would joke that she used some of […]

If you are looking for even more fun Halloween crafts, you need to head over to my friend Jennifer Perkin’s blog for the guest post I did on color blocked Halloween cupcake picks. They are a super simple way to customize plain store bought cupcakes. Just paint, craft store letters, straws, and some hot glue […]

Fall seems to be pretty synonymous with pumpkins now-a-days. What better way to welcome the new season than by bringing in a bunch of pumpkins? I know that I am at fault for having way too many pumpkins displayed around the house right now and I can’t seem to keep from buying more! If you […]
