Happy Halloween everyone! We just got in from trick or treat and it was a fun night. This year was a little different as my little one was a walker, and going from door to door grabbing the candy and putting it in his bucket. As well as was taking notice of the different decorations and the different costume. You know what was funny was that my son was not scared of certain costumes but this mommy was...lol. Here are pictures of our adventure on this Halloween with a walker:
Hey everyone! We decide to have a little fun before Halloween with a project and recipe I found on pinterest. And of course it would not be right if we didn't curve a pumpkin or visit a pumpkin patch nor do a trunk and treat.
First let kick off with our handprint pumpkin project we did.
Supplies
Paper or Canvas
Orange, Green, and Brown paint
And of course your child handprint
I started by putting orange paint on one of my son's hand and started to make somewhat of a pumpkin. Green paint was for leaves and the brown was the stem.
Next up was a Halloween float I found on pinterest...was a PASS and very good.
Recipes calls for ice cream, gummy worms, sprite or lime soda, and green food coloring. Scoop your ice cream in a cup than in another cup mix your sprite and green food coloring...once done pour that cup into your ice cream, top it off with worms and Enjoy your Halloween float. Cheers!
Third was M&Ms brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. FYI we love the mix in the bag instead of the box and of course follow the directions on the back. Once done and cool top with chocolate icing and mini M&Ms. Can you say Yum!?!
Than we had a little Halloween party with a mommy group I am in, which I made spiders lollipops for the kids.
How to make spider lollipops:
Pipe cleaners
Lollipops
Fold pipe cleaners in half and cut. Once you three half on a pipe cleaner center it on the stick of the lollipops and twist it. Once done you have three on each side making six. Fold the tip on the pipe cleans down as feet....and you are done.

Hello! I'm back from my little break. It was some what of a break but as well as its been crazy in my household to last few weeks from my husband working a lot and I mean a lot of LONG hours, and me pretty much being a single mother. See I'm blessed to be able to stay home with our son while my husband work, but his job was being way to demanding even to the point our son would not see him when he would wake up or before bed and that was hard. Don't get me wrong I love that I'm able to be at home while he works but being on the back burner with my husband job plus taking our family weekends was truly making me upset and getting into beginning of depression stage. I didn't hold it in I let what and how I felt be known. As well as when I cook dinner every night and having my son and I eating dinner by ourselves every night was getting old.
Don't get my wrong I'm never ungrateful for my husband working and for his job, but I do want my husband home with us at a decent time and our weekends. As well as its even harder when you don't do date night and take time for yourselves was taking a troll on me. Half of the time I thought why did we get our house so far away from my friends that I felt so alone but knew they were a phone call away.
It's now a new week it's a little better but I don't want to get my hopes all high. I have also let myself go but I'm getting back on track so I can at least feel happy about myself again.
Also I have told my husband many times that I don't think we will make it to celebrate our 8th anniversary in two weeks, but to be honest it's not that easy just to call it off just for a minor bump. Almost I love that man with all my heart that something so minor can be fix and changes can be made instead of calling off so quickly and just giving up!! Plus we have a son it truly is not that easy when you have a child involve.
Hey you may ask yourself our we happy and I can tell you 100 percent we are very happy just hit a minor bump! And ley me tell you money is not everything to me and my husband knows that. Money and material things won't keep me warm or play with our son. He, his health are way important to me than his job(it pays our bills and let us have our house) but he works to hard and I think we should for sure be able to enjoy it....like that saying You work hard to play hard and that's exactly what he needs to do as work will be there the next day. Let me add he works with wonderful people that if he has an emergency or need to get off early he can, but all other stuff should change too and I hope it will...stay tuned!!!
