Halloween Ghosts

I know, two blogs in one day after a long dry spell...it's madness.  But I wanted to share my Halloween ghosts.  I'm slightyly obsessed with chocolate covered strawberries so I find a way to incorporate them into any occasion.  Today I made white chocolate covered strawberry ghosts (the inspiration is courtesy of Pinterest).  Yumm!  Happy Halloween!

Treasure Hunts

Like most boys, my son loves to collect "treasures" when we're out on walks.  His favorites are sticks, rocks, more rocks, and acorns.  He would come home with his pockets full of treasures, which typically end up in some random place in the house or in the washing machine.  So I decided that these treasures needed a home, preferably outside.  We went to the local hardware store and picked up a few galvanized buckets: one for sticks, rocks, and shells.  I had some chalkboard paint laying around from another project and we used it to make labels for each bucket then we placed them by the front door.  Now the treasures have a home, the little guy loves his treasure buckets, and I love the organization with a bit of style.

Celebrate your Youness

"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.” -Dr. Seuss


Dr. Seuss quotes never fail to impress me.  So today (and everyday) celebrate your youness and see where it takes you.
