Halloween Brownie Bark
I don’t know about you, but the first time I had a bite of Sheila G’s Brownie Brittle, my mind was blown! Both my tween son and I kinda fell in love with it! Both of us have always loved the crispy edges of brownies, and if I didn’t have to share could eat crispy brownie...

20 Non-Candy Halloween Treats
I posted this last year and it was a big hit so I thought it was a good time to republish. I’m not totally anti-candy. The stash of Reese’s Pumpkins under my desk is a dead giveaway. But kids get SO much during the holidays that I like to give some no-candy treat options in my Halloween...

Easy DIY 80s Halloween Costume
Last year my younger daughter and her friend dressed up as “80s girls” for Halloween. I thought this idea was brilliant. I’m still getting used to the fact that the decade I grew up in is now considered retro and costume-worthy, but whatever. I guess that’s what happens after 40! If you’re looking for a...

EASY Halloween Craft: Drink Koozies
There’s something about Halloween that I love. Maybe it’s because it’s usually such a beautiful time of year — the height of fall when the weather is crisp and clear but not too cold yet, and there are still some leaves left on the trees with many more decorating the ground. Maybe it’s because it feels like the kick-off to...

Hi everyone! It’s Colleen, here. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I know I am not alone in this since last year in the US alone we spent over 8 billion…yup 8 billion dollars on pumpkins, candy, decorations and costumes (even costumes for pets)! Wowzers!! Maybe it’s the lack of stress around Halloween that...

Happy Halloween!
I hope everyone who went trick-or-treating last night had a great time. I know some have yet to get their Halloween fix as many towns in our area have postponed trick-or-treating until everyone has recovered from Sandy. Our township went ahead with it last night, and we managed to get home JUST in the nick...

Halloween Festivities
Despite OctSNOWber, Halloween must go on. Yesterday morning, my kids happily boarded the schoolbus (albeit 2 hours late) with snow still blanketing the front yards in our neighborhood and their costumes snugly tucked away in their backpacks. I spent the morning preparing Halloween snacks for three classrooms before heading to school for the annual Halloween Parade. Since...
