I love a cute desert and don’t mind paying for them, but I’m also very much into saving a little money. One of the easiest treats for your Halloween party is to find pre-made desserts that are white or beige. A little melted chocolate, some googly eye candy plus...
If getting your kids to eat dinner on Halloween night is a struggle for you the way it always was for me, set a table your kids can't resist. Posable skeletons are pretty inexpensive, and they make a fun and unexpected centerpiece for a Halloween skeleton tablescape....
Back in September, I published an early Halloween candy table and now that Halloween is almost here, I wanted to try the same idea in a second style. Mainly, I wanted to play with my posable skeleton. Here's how to style a Halloween candy table, skeleton style. This...
This Halloween, I think my girls are finally too old to trick-or-treat. (Cue the mom tears.) But I thought it might be fun for the girls to celebrate Halloween with their friends. And we know that kids love candy at every age! So I set up a little Halloween candy...
Parties are one of the few times I let my kids have soda because I'm a mean mom. Sort of. Mainly, Baby B is still awful about brushing her teeth, so why coat them more with soda? Anyway, I love using colored sodas or milk in my parties just because of the color they...
Did you have a favorite Halloween costume as a child? Mine was a witch costume, sewn by my mom. One of my twin girls feels the same way, and has dressed up as a witch for Halloween three times. (I have no sewing skills, but I can shop with the best of them.) Those are...
One of the big jumping off points for my Witch's Tea Party was this black and white striped ribbon. I just loved how clean and crisp the pattern is, and wanted to be sure to incorporate lots of bows made from the ribbon. But there is a trick to getting your bows just...
Of the treats at our Witch's Tea Party, I think the girls were most excited about the Witch's Stockings Dessert. I make variations on this dessert all the time because it's so quick and easy and goooood. (It honestly deserves the extra o's.) If you've ever made Martha...
When I styled my Vintage Tea Party, one of my absolute favorite elements was the floral teapot centerpiece. I decided to recreate the look for my Witch's Tea Party (featured on Love the Day!) -- but to figure out the DIY version. Enter: the styrofoam ball and a whole...

I didn't have party printables for the Zombie Princess Party. (This sometimes happens when you dream up a wacky theme.) So that meant it was up to me to get creative with the decorative details. This week, I'll share with you tutorials for my Zombie Princess Soda...
If your kids love to trick or treat with their besties, try inviting the gang over for a pre-trick or treating Zombie Princess Party! I'll show you how. (You could even invite the boys, 'cause you know they will like zombies!) My twin girls are 9 now and somewhere...
Darling Halloween printables keep popping up, and you know I love to share them with you! Here are my favorite free Halloween printables of the week. I'd love to see how you use them in your party! From Chickabug (They come with a black background, too!) From Ellinee...
** See the food and décor: Halloween Trick or Treat Party. ** In my house, the minutes creep by until it’s time to trick or treat. So, I planned several trick or treat-themed activities to keep the kids busy at our Halloween party. I held this party in our basement...
I was going to skip creating a Halloween party this year. It’s my absolute busiest time of the year, and I thought I’d be a fool to take on one more thing. But my party pals changed my mind and the result is my Halloween Trick or Treat Party. Zoila of Squared Party...
Welcome to Part 2 of our Sweet Halloween Party. (See Part 1 here.) Today we're focusing on the table decorations and children's activities. Halloween Dining Table I always prefer fabric tablecloths: they are easier to make wrinkle free and they are resusable. They...
In our family, Thanksgiving belongs to one sister-in-law, Easter belongs to my other sister-in-law, and Christmas is a free for all. Halloween is all mine. So this year, I styled a Sweet Halloween Party (not a spooky one) for everyone to come over and celebrate. We...
