DIY HALLOWEEN TREATS

So I'm totally that mom that dreads all the candy on Halloween... why? Not because my child will eat it all, but because I won't be able to control myself... Gahhh I love Halloween candy! I mean who doesn't!? So this year instead of handing out candy at Trunk or Treat night, I decided to dive into the massive stash of glow sticks we had setting in the garage (the perks to being married to a Marine) and create something fun and candy free to pass out to the kiddos! I was inspired by this post and decided to put my own twist on it! 

What you will need:

black construction paper

string

glow sticks 

tags 

scissors

glue or tape

First you will want to cut your construction paper and fringe the ends.

Next wrap the fringed paper around you glow stick to make it look like a broom and glue or tape the ends. 

Lastly you will want to tie you little tags on and that's it! Pretty easy right?! 

What do you plan to pass out for Halloween this year? If you create this fun little DIY be sure to email or tag me! I love seeing all of your projects! 

Happy Hump Day! 

Where's Waldo...

So I know Halloween has passed but I had to share my super cute little Waldo with you! We had a fun Halloween, took Asher trick or treating around the block then came back and passed out candy... 

Asher costume was all created by myself! I took a pair of blue pants he had, paired them with a white top I painted stripes on, and my sweet friends at Knitting Nannies knitted him the matching had.. We used paint for his glasses.

We finished the evening with Halloween treats and then it was Asher's bedtime. Jacob and I stayed up and watched The Conjuring and I'm still terrified! SO spooky! 

Happy Saturday! 

Hey There Mama... Review and Giveaway!

Hey There Mama is an adorable little shop that sells hand painted onesies and tees for your littles! Tressa, the creator behind Hey There Mama, hand paints each and every one of her tees, giving them a special little touch! She has everything from Halloween tees, buffalos, teepees, and more!

 Here's a little product review and Hey There Mama is offering a super rad vampire tee to one lucky winner! Just in time for Halloween! You can enter below...

 When I opened our envelope I immediately fell in love with their adorable packaging! Such a special touch when small businesses put time into their packaging instead of just throwing it in a mailer... Def makes me all giddy to open it! 

I love the unique and clean lines of the tee... so modern and stylish for my Asher... I also liked that the tee is a light and soft cotton making it comfortable to wear... Here the tee is unwashed, but I have washed the tee about 3 times  now (pictured below) and not once has it faded! It still looks brand new! 

  

I'm so in love with this tee! He will be wearing it after Halloween as well! Here I paired the tee with some diy leggings  I made (blog post soon?) and our favorite moccs! 

This was his "ma what are you doing face"!!

We got lots of compliments on the tee while we were out today! A huge thank you to Hey There Mama for sponsoring this month! Be sure to check out their Etsy shop (HERE) and you can also find them on Facebook (HERE) and Instagram (HERE)....
