Last year, I found a make-your-own plate kit at Hobby Lobby for $5.99, and the kids [...]
My friend and fellow Mom Blogger, Lindsay, made this super-cool Halloween wreath after seeing one like it in Woman’s Day Magazine. She is also making a really fun goldfish Halloween costume for her son. (I will be making the ever-so-complicated ghost costume).
