October 1, 2018

Don’t throw away those pumpkin seeds from your jack-o-lanterns or your last recipe of pumpkin puree! You can combine those delicious pumpkin seeds with a few simple ingredients to make a fall take on the the Christmas classic, peanut brittle.

It’s also really similar to a dessert that Costco sells, so if you’re addicted like I am, make this instead and save yourself a bit of money. One batch whips up in about 20 minutes, not including time for hardening.

How to Make an Adorable Halloween Chick Costume

October 28, 2017

One of the things I love most about my son is that he’s not like everybody else. In the last three years when I’ve asked him what he’s wanted to be for Halloween, he’s always come up with a unique answer. And he never waivers in his choice either.

Last year he wanted to be an orange chick. Try finding that in a big-box store.

Thankfully, the year before he wanted to be a rooster, so I already knew how to make his costume with just a few modifications.

Today I give my public service to the internet, should any other Mom find themselves with a child asking for an orange chick costume. I’ve got you covered.
