Halloweekend

Tell me about it. I have been MIA all weekend. 

With good reason though, the sis has been in town!

It was a fun whirlwind!

We went to the zoo, shopping, hot tubbing, shopping,

eating, shopping, beach, shopping, parties, shopping... and then she went home

early this morning. 

Too early for my tastebuds.

Halloween Party

Fall Foodies

With the most beloved holidays of the year

just around the corner, I thought Id share

some of the delicious treats I am looking 

forward to this year.

Now, as far as Thanksgiving goes, Im not much

of a Turkey gal.

But dont get me wrong, my Dad

calls me a Turkey all the time.

I am def more of a 

TREAT girl.

One year my husband wrote a Thanksgiving song for 

one of his friends who was a kindergarten teacher.

It was something about a boy whos mother wanted him

to go out and find a Turkey, once he found the Turkey, it

tried to convince him to not eat him, with these lyrics:

Gobble gobble gobble

Cluck cluck cluck

Dont eat a Turkey

Go eat a Duck.

Long story short, it worked.

And the boy and the Turkey went and 

got ice cream instead or something.

I love all the holiday treats.

Heres what Im eyeing this year:

Baked Brie in a Bread bowl

I Love You Nursery Alphabet Printable

Made this today, thought it would be adorbs 

framed in a little girls room.

Alas, I have boys.

Maybe I could muster up a boys version??

Oh well. Until then, enjoy!

Witch Costume Adult Tutu Tutorial

First, lets clarify, this isn't an "Adult" costume. This is just a costume an adult could wear. I made this tutu for my Halloween costume and Im going to share how.

Helpful Home Remedies

Whilst searching the internet I came upon this list

of cool home remedies.

Some of them look useful like

Preparation H for puffy eyes

while others look silly like

WD-40 for arthritis.

Worth a shot though right?

Let me know, if youve ever used any, if you do 

use any, and what works and what doesnt.

In this economy we could all use a little dose of frugality...

1.    Budweiser beer conditions the hair   

2.    Pam cooking spray will dry finger nail polish

3.    Cool Whip will condition your hair in 15 minutes

4.    Mayonnaise will KILL LICE, it will also condition your hair

Hello Dolly vs Breakfast at Tiffanys

I have been browsin the oldies lately on Netflix.

I love a great classical.

I even watched Don Juan DeMarco

with the lovely J. Depp.

(Dont recommend it)

And I have to admit, that although The Aud

is lovely, ridiculously gorgeous, and just a pleasure

to watch, the movie, was not.

I apologize if I have offended some people.

But I was pleasantly surprised with

Hello Dolly and The Streisand.

I think I just love musicals. 

That movie was just super cute.

Now I get why she is so famous.

Loved it!

Whats your all time favorite classical?

Fallin For Food

Lately I have been pinning like crazy.

And Im totally loving all the Fall Foods Im finding.

I feel like I am stuck in a food recipe rut.

So, I decided I will try a few new recipes. 

I wouldnt call myself an excellent chef or anything,

But I AM an excellent reader.

Basically, I can follow a recipe.

Tonight I am making:

Thanksgiving & Christmas Eye Chart Art

I thought I would try my hand at some Eye Chart Art.

Its pretty hot & all over the place these days.

I created one for Thanksgiving

 And one for Christmas

Witch Costume Inspiration

I was probably a witch for Halloween as far back as I can remember. 

My mom would rat out my hair and paint my face green and give me 

super dark and arched eyebrows.

I loved it.

Easy Delicious Chili Cook-Off Recipe

I have the easiest, tastiest, (probably unhealthiest),

fabulous chili recipe.

Creative Family Picture Ideas

Its that time of year again, to get out the cute matching clothes,

the bowties, tutus, lacey tights, jewelry, conductor/newsie hats. 

Thats right, you guessed it. Family Pictures!

No Sew Infant Mummy Costume DIY

Let me be first to admit, that while I love myself a good craft,

I am impatient my friends.

Hence the NO sew. Can I sew?

Sure. 

#prepregnancyjeans

In lieu of the holiday season, 

aka delicious food slash gain 10lbs season.

This is funny. 

*sigh*

If only it were that easy.

Well, that came out wrong.

Obviously eating a person is gross and wrong

but,

you know what I mean.

Pumpkin Patch Season

On Saturday we went to the fabulous Bates Nut Farm.

And lets get real, if you live in San Diego, you've probably been , if you havent, you must go.

It is the ultimate Pumpkin Patch. Like perf for making lasting family memories and traditions.

Karma

So guys, remember when I was super selfish, held out on the the Anthro sale and then went there and

the sweater I wanted all to myself wasnt even there? Well, then I put the sale alert on my blog

for the whole world. Major sharing. It just so happened that I went to Anthro 2 days later with my

girls who needed to make a return, it was like 15min to closing. 

I just walked around while she made her return

and THEY HAD MY SWEATER! ONE, thats right ONE left, IN MY SIZE!

Cutting Crafting Costs

You guys! I am ALWAYS, and I mean, always looking for ways to fund my crafting habit.

Did I mention always? I love crafting, yet unfortunately my other love

comes in the glorious form of all things Anthro.

Anthro Sale Alert

I'll be honest, Im a little, well, selfish.

So, when Anthropologie sent me an email that said 

"Take an extra 25% OFF the lowest marked price"

I had to go to mine first before putting it on my blog...

Creating a Blog Button

Having a button for your blog is great because when you feature other bloggers crafts

(as I do sometimes) it is then SO easy for them, to have your button as a "badge" for where they have been featured. Its a great visual link for people as well. SO much easier to see and click on an image than just a plain text link. 

Halloween Costume Confusion

I dont know that Im really "confused" about what we all should be, or if the alliteration was just too fitting to not use. But I do know that I still dont know what the boys are going to be. As far as Im concerned its really cute to have the whole family kind of "match", you know, like ones a pirate, a fish, and Im a mermaid. Or something of the like.

Oh Monday

I dont know what it is about Monday, but I sure do feel bad for the guy. No one likes Monday.

I know, I dont. Oh, Monday. You poor thing, you really have very little friends. If you would please just stop associating yourself with the likes of , alarm clock, laundry, work, and errands, I'm sure more people would like you. You should try to get to know, beach, lazy, and eating out a little better.
