Easy DIY Halloween Tutu
Easy DIY Halloween Tutu
Hello my fellow Halloween lovers! Tomorrow is officially fall, who else is excited!? I am so glad that I have a kid that loves fall holidays as much as I do. Every year at my daughters school they are not allowed to dress up in full Halloween costumes, but they are allowed to dress in Halloween clothing. So I thought it would be fun to make a DIY Halloween Tutu for my daughter to wear! Something that has always amazed me is the price of tutu’s either in store or online. They can get super expensive. This project cost me $5 total, and turned out pretty cute in my oh-so-humble opinion. Would you like to learn how to make one for yourself? Let’s check it out! [Read More…]
How To Make An Edible Graveyard For Halloween
How To Make An Edible Graveyard For Halloween
Can you guys tell that I’m a little bit excited about Halloween this year? Every year we throw a Halloween party for our family and friends, and I’m always looking for fun Halloween food recipes that the kids and adults will like. While grocery shopping over the weekend I of course had to stop by the Halloween section and found the cutest little gravestone peeps! I just knew I had to use them in some type of recipe, and I remember a “cake” my mom used to make me that resembled dirt and worms. That gave me the idea of my Edible Graveyard! My daughter loved the idea, and I thought some of you would too! [Read More…]

Summer will be here before you know it! For work at home moms like me, that means I’ll have another little mouth to feed during lunch time, so my usual lunch of cheese and crackers, or the muffin I never finished at breakfast just isn’t going to cut it. So I needed to think of some recipes that are easy to make, quick to prepare (because just because my child is off during the summer doesn’t mean I am!), and something we would both enjoy. What is better than a cold pasta salad on a hot summer day? Not much I tell you! And this Super Easy Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad Recipe has quickly become a favorite in my house, so I wanted to share!

4th of July Party
4th on the 5th
I’ve been knee deep in planning a 4th of July party. Since many of my friends are watching fireworks or at family get-togethers, I’m starting a new tradition-the 4th on the 5th! I downloaded some printables from Hostess with the Mostess (Amazing freebies), and scored some decor from my local crafts stores to create a really fun party!

The weather put a damper on my plans for outdoor set-up and activities, but I made do and set it all up on my porch. I had originally planned potato sack races, but the weather put a stop to all that. The kids, however, didn’t seem to mind at all, and played outside through the whole thing! I just now got around to deep-cleaning my carpet and floors! LOL
We had hot dogs with all the trimmings, BBQ food, and cupcakes.
Guests got cute goodie bags, and we kept the party rolling with sparklers, poppers, and glow bracelets.
I made custom matchboxes by gluing the party squares onto the matchbooks. Took just a few minutes and made a huge splash with the guests.

Let me tell you-I made the BEST drink ever for this party-and it was SO simple. I sliced up strawberries and put them in a container, topped with blueberries, and poured Sprite over the whole thing. I let it sit for a few hours, and what emerged was a light, fruity, refreshing drink. My guests loved it and I had tons of requests for the recipe.
I just HAD to include cotton candy. The kids loved putting it in their drinks.
The decor was pretty simple to come by. I purchased most of the goods from either the dollar store or my local Hobby Lobby.

At 2:30pm today it will be the official start of summer in our home! It’s my favorite time of year. As a WAHM I get the luxury of spending the summer hanging out with my daughter. This means days of playing at the park, staying up late to play Mario Kart together, and making lunches together. This also means that my usual lunch of peanut butter and crackers just isn’t going to cut it. So I’ve started meal planning and thinking of things that are quick, easy, and that we will both like.
