We’ve spent a number of Halloweens with the Folletts since, well, before they were officially “the Folletts”! Before we all had kids, we used to spend our Halloweens going to haunted houses together. As a matter of fact, I’m pretty sure the first time Tara & Scott met was when we drug them both to [...]

As sad as I am to see Summer end, let’s just face it…Fall is AWESOME! Cooler weather. Trees decorated in amazing reds, oranges, and yellows. Apple crisp. And Halloween! Oh yes, Halloween! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, coming in second to Christmas. I have a lot of good childhood memories around Halloween. Maybe [...]

This seemed like the longest Halloween weekend ever! I think it was mostly due to the fact that our area just couldn’t decide on just one day to do trick-or-treating! Weird, I know. It was a no-brainer for most communities around the country…you trick-or-treat on Halloween night (i.e. Sunday night). But communities in our area [...]

Growing up I remember my Great Aunt Margie making us these little Halloween treat bags for when we came to her house trick-or-treating. They weren’t anything much but they were special. Different. Just for us. I loved that! As a mom of a preschooler, I love the idea of doing fun little themed treats for [...]

Last week I shared with you a fun and easy Pumpkin and Ghost craft that I did with my daughters. This Frankenstein craft is just another variation of that craft!

After my hopes of making these cute little acorn pumpkins with Abbi for all of the kids in her class were thwarted by some little worm-like larva (i.e. weevils) crawling out of them {gagging}, I found these!

We love Fall in our house! Love it!!! The slightly cooler weather, the changing leaves, back-to-school excitement, apple picking, and Halloween! YAY Halloween!!!  And there are only 45 days left until that costume filled, candy filled night! My girls start talking about Halloween months and months before the actual day.  What costume will they wear…how [...]

I grew up in Northern Michigan, where the snow starts falling the first of September and doesn’t stop until the first of June.  However, leaving in Southern Michigan has made me weak.  Weak I TELL YOU! Saturday night was down right cold!  And if I hadn’t risked disappointing a very cute Snow White, I would [...]
