I am so happy that it's back to being the acceptable time of year to share Halloween fun! The girls have been talking about what they want to be this year and I've been happily pulling out decorations.

It could be a recipe or a craft, but it had to tie into Halloween. I've been obsessed with Halloween crafting, so I've had a tub of Halloween craft supplies sitting on my desk at all times. I started rummaging ... Read More
