Easy Halloween Mantel
I’m not one to go all out with Halloween decoration but it’s one of Cory’s favorite holidays and if it were up to him, our whole house would be decked out in spiders, skulls, and spooky stuff year-round. So when I came home from Target with a few decorations for a Halloween mantel, he was so excited! I was hesitant on it being too spooky and not cute/fun enough but have to say, I love how it turned out! Since I’m a full-time working mom, I try to keep my holiday mantels simple and affordable and thanks to the Target Dollar Spot, I’ve been successful! You can see my Valentine’s…
Ninja Turtle Pumpkin
After pulling out all my fall decorations, I realized I had a chalkboard pumpkin but couldn’t think of what to write on it. Since I have it beside a chalkboard sign, I didn’t really want another saying on it so I asked Cory to draw the standard jack o’lantern face on the pumpkin. Wrong. Cory had other ideas and this is what I got… A ninja turtle pumpkin. Bless his child-like heart. He was so proud of his artwork, there’s no way I could erase it.

Not So Happy Halloween
Not so happy Halloween from Hampton Batman. We don’t make a big deal out of Halloween around house since we don’t have kids and normally aren’t at home for Trick or Treaters but I do like to dress the dogs up. This picture is actually from 2011 but one of my favorites of Hampton. I often wish our dogs could talk just so I could know what they are thinking. The pissed off look on his face says “Get this stupid costume off me. Now.” The dogs really aren’t fond of wearing any kind of clothing but that doesn’t stop me from buying them things like this… And they hate every second…
Halloween Front Porch
I realize I don’t actually have a front porch {I wish I did} so this is more like my Halloween front steps. Porch or steps, I love the way it turned out for the second year in a row. By the way, do you recycle your decorations? Some people like to get all new stuff every year but not I. When I find something I like, I add to it, not replace it. I call this my first successful deco mesh wreath and you can read all about it here. Idea from “A Diamond in the Stuff” I made this topiary last year after seeing the idea on Pinterest. Of…
