Halloween Costumes! Store Bought or DIY ?

-

I have never been that super creative and crafty mom. Partly due to time because of work and other duties and partly because of lack of knowledge and supplies.

I have always envied those who came up with these really fun and unique costumes. I've tried a couple times though. But my kids always want to be a superhero or a princess or some other famous figure.

My son has been batman several times as well as other superheroes and a ninja and a military swat guy or something. He is going to be the Joker from the Dark Knight movies.

My 4 year old daughter was a witch last year and has also been a princess and a kitty cat. This year she is going to be Minnie Mouse.

My 9 month old baby girl has a ladybug costume that was given to her, but I kind of wanted something different.

What have you done? What are your kid's favorite ideas? Got any tips?

I love Pinterest but I feel overwhelmed. I can never choose just one and I never have the stuff I need and my creations never look like theirs.

I guess we will have to have another look. I will probably wear my cat ear headband again this year and I'll have to figure out something for the rest of us.

But I cannot wait for Halloween. Not just the candy but that is a sweet part of it. I love the excitement and the decorations and the act of trick or treating. I love seeing the kid's costumes and their smiles. It's just a fun holiday. I think I get more excited than my kids do. :)

Hope everyone has a happy and safe Halloween.

New Crown Coast Heavy Duty Umbrella found on AMAZON

I recently got to try this Crown Coast Heavy Duty Umbrella and you can find it on AMAZON It's really well made and sturdy and has this really cool button that you push to make it open and close! Here in the Pacific Northwest, we get A LOTS of rain usually so this is perfect for us! We go through a lot of umbrellas. This one even comes with a little case bag too! Which makes it nice to keep together and carry it. When folded up, it's small enough to carry in your purse or backpack or diaper bag or wherever. It's soft and the grip on the handle is comfy to hold. Also it is really easy to use and really big! It was big enough for me and my 3 kids to huddle up underneath it! I really loved the button, but watch out. You push it and the umbrella pops out and unfolds quickly. It's just as easy to put away too! Check it out HERE on Amazon. They also have lots of other colors to choose from too, besides black! http://www.amazon.com/dp/B015ILHPX0 I di

Freebie FAQs: How to Get Stuff For Free!

(Updated Nov 2023) Hey there, I am going to tell you how I get Freebies, but first I have to be honest.  While the products and stuff I get may be free when thinking monetarily, it's not always just free, per se.  I do work hard for my free stuff. If you want to be a full time freebie finder or product reviewer, social media influencer, prepare to work hard and be on your phone or computer, a lot.  Each site will take time to participate in. You don’t want to overwhelm yourself when you first start. Some sites take more involvement than others, especially survey sites. I only am a part of a handful of survey sites along with my many freebie/review/product sampling sites and communities. Read everything. Read the posts, reviews, etc, and check out the whole site. It’s also good to read the About Us page and the Faq page so you know all the details and terms and conditions. Then you can Sign Up and make sure you Confirm Your Email and Complete Your Profile. Make sure you enter the sp

Give yourself a spa like experience at home with SAPO Bamboo Charcoal Soap

I loved this Bamboo Charcoal Soap. It was definitely a scentalicious experience. The first thing I noticed was the scent. It smelled herbal and fresh but not too strong or overpowering. When I used it, I felt like I was in a spa with the scent and the feel of it. It's made of all natural ingredients and is great for people with skin issues like psoriasis and eczema or sensitive skin. It is different looking, as it is a black soap, but I like these so much more than other factory processed soaps now because of the natural ingredients and skin benefits. I have sensitive skin and eczema and so do my kids, so this was great to try. We didn't feel all dried out or itchy after using and my skin smelled fresh and herbal after too. It was quite a relaxing and scentsual experience. I did receive this product for free through Tomoson.com but the experience and opinions expressed in this post are my own and my only compensation was this product. Check out SAPO Bamboo Cha
