I like to go all out with Halloween decorations or, as my husband calls it, “overboard”.  

I can’t help it, I just love holidays! And Halloween is no exception!

Jo and I even debated whether or not to decorate for Christmas when you have wild toddlers (I’m obviously always pro-decorating).

I also LOVE homemade decorations! Not only as they easier on my budget, they’re also a fun, festive activity!

When my son was in daycare, they did tons of cute, seasonal crafts with him. I especially loved all of the sweet hand and foot prints!

Now that I’m a stay-at-home mom, I’m always looking for inspiration for crafts we can do together.
