People become parents for many reasons. Not the least of which is to mess with their children. And every time I see this ad, I can’t stop laughing.

After a summer of 50+ days of temperatures over 100 degrees, my plastic trick or treat bowl melted. So I rounded up 5 non-meltable candy bowl ideas from around the internet.

Halloween costumes can cost a bundle and then never get used again. So when my daughter said she wanted to be a witch, we set out to find regular clothing items that we could make into a costume and then slide into her regular wardrobe. We found everything we needed for less than $25 and most of it she’ll wear again.

Don’t feel like carving the gourd this year? Not sure I do either so while the kids are busy getting messy with their pumpkins, I might try out a few of these no carve pumpkin ideas.

It’s starting to turn cold up north and my Midwestern raised body is telling me it’s time to switch gears from sleeveless to sweaters despite the warm temperatures outside. So when I found this hat and it’s scarf buddy, I just couldn’t walk away. This week’s favorite: the wool cloche & infinity scarf.
