Pom Pom Cat Ears Headband

Cat ears headbands are still all the rage with my kids--they're not just for Halloween anymore! Alice recently surprised me with a super cute pom pom cat ears headband DIY that she made herself.

I tracked down the pom poms she wanted and we made this super easy craft together.  This post contains affiliate links. Supplies: black pom poms pink pom poms glue ... Read More

I'm in full on Halloween decorating mode right now and decided that even my desk needs to get in on the action. The girls are partial to cute, though, so my coasters couldn't be scary.
