I met my husband on October 28th, 1998. 4 days before Halloween. The first thing my husband invited me to was a Halloween Party… it was our “1st” official going out together party in front of our friends, so Halloween has always been very special to us. I don’t think there’s been 1 Halloween since 1998 that we haven’t dressed [...]

Barry and I love Halloween. We LOVE costumes. We love Halloween SO MUCH that my first 5K ever was a Spooky 5K where I dressed as a pirate’s wench… a conservative pirate’s wench.  After all, it was only 3 years ago and we had 9 grandchildren by then. This year, for Barry’s first 5K, it’s also a Halloween 5K.  Good [...]

Halloween this year was TONS of fun. The boys were in total-Halloween-mode, wearing their costumes with every single chance they got! It was really adorable and truthfully, very magical for me and my husband. We had a Storm Trooper, Woody and (2) Buzz Lightyear’s (because you can’t just have one!). This year we took a ton of photos because the [...]

Halloween is one of those holidays that my sons count down for, beginning in the summer. With William and Alexander having birthdays in September (and us always having a Halloween themed party), they start talking costumes in July (no joke). This year Alexander, Benjamin and Henry all wanted to be something TOY STORY. It’s funny, my sons are at the [...]

As of right now we have decided on the following costumes: William is a [...]

I love doing fun things during the month of Halloween with the boys! This year we finally got to head to the Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular at the Roger Williams Zoo with the boys. My mom has been telling me to see the Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular for the last 2 years, so I am so excited that we got to go! The pumpkins [...]

Happy (almost) Halloween! What are your kids going to be for Halloween this year? Are you doing any fun activities? Each year before Halloween we carve pumpkins, it’s a fun activity and the boys get totally into it. Everyone has a job (I do the carving!). This year we had some fun, ate some treats and drank some delicious chocolate [...]

If you’re looking for a way to Green your Halloween – look no further… Moms… you will LOVE THIS!! thredUP has extended their eco-friendly swapping platform to kids Halloween costumes. Children outgrow clothes every 3-6 months – needless to say, kids’ costly costumes are worn only once and typically tossed the following year. This fall, recycle your kids’ outgrown costumes [...]

OK, Moms! My advice today… on Halloween!? Bring on the ORANGE AND BLACK! There’s nothing more festive than having some fun with Halloween’s trademark colors! Layer up your basic black l/s tee with an orange s/s tee – Or mix and match… It’s all about Halloween (and FALL) Fashion-ability!

We had a Chicken, Darth Vader, Indiana Jones, Elmo, a Chili Pepper and a Cowgirl head out for some Halloween candy… Or, better put…
