This years costume theme is "Let Love Bloom"! I dressed up Andre as a farmer; scored his farmers overalls at Carhartt and purchased some gardening tools over at Goodwill. For Avery, I dressed him up as a gnome and purchased his costume off Amazon. He wouldn't keep the beard on, but who cold blame him [...]
Trunk-or-treat is pretty new to me, but it’s been around for about 15 years now. Many suburban and rural areas opt for these events for safety reasons, or because of a lack of close neighbors to do actual trick-or-treating. Trunk-or-treat events can be large, almost like a school fun fair, with lots of games and [...]
If there's something strange in your neighborhood, who you gonna call? Ghostbusters! I came up with the Ghostbuster family costume idea because I really wanted Avery to be the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man! I made the Stay Puft costume and will link a tutorial on it soon. I purchased the Ghostbuster costume from Target. Since [...]
Yes, you could slap on a pair of ears and a bodysuit and call yourself a mouse (duh), but it’s always more fun to get creative for Halloween - from your hair to your carefully curated outfit. Here’s a look back at some of MY diy favorites: CLOUD SNOWGLOBE PAPER DOLL GUMBALL MACHINE E.T. & [...]
This year’s family theme costume is Underwater! I wanted to create Avery’s costume using the Ergobaby carrier because it would be a lot easier holding him that way. He’s six months - barely crawls, can’t stand, and rolls like a bowling ball so I needed him to be secure and comfortable. I did some research [...]
Think of it this way: since you have to carve a jack-o-lantern anyway, why not go ahead and put a baby inside of it? WHY?!?! ...because babies inside pumpkins are unbelievable cute!!! Tis the season!
I got this idea from the 1982 film E.T.! It was VERY easy to put together and it turned out better than expected! I got so many compliments, high fives, and everyone wanted to take a picture with E.T.! Here's how it all came together! Materials for E.T. Basket: grey spray paint basket (I got [...]
The spooktacular This is Halloween showcases a live orchestra, cabaret, burlesque and visual art installations that provide entertainment with every lively move at the Triple Door. Inspired by Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, this seasonal spectacular is a ridiculously fun time. We got great seating and enjoyed a fantastic menu from The Wild Ginger [...]
Since Halloween fell on a Saturday this year, a bunch of my girlfriends and I decided to hit the streets of Capitol Hill! I needed a costume that was cute and sexy, yet fun at the same time. We thought about doing a group costume, but time was running out so it became a solo [...]
As I was scrolling through Facebook, I came across a Buzzfeed article where the lovely Oregon town of St. Helens transforms into the classic 1998 Disney film “Halloweentown”! In honor of the movie, the town holds an October month-long ‘Spirit of Halloweentown’ celebration . Ecstatic, I immediately made plans to St. Helens to re-live one [...]
Besides the fact that my mom's birthday falls on Halloween, I've always loved dressing up and going out with friends! I never really dressed up for Halloween before, only when I moved to Seattle did I realize how fun it can be to dress up as your favorite cartoon character, celebrity, princess, super hero, or [...]
I thought Halloween was going to be quiet this year, but I got invited to a Halloween party suuuper last min. With no costume on hand plus not wanting to spend a fortune on one either, I quickly got a hold of my artistic friend Andrew! I saw this Paper Doll costume when I was [...]
