Halloween Birthday Cake
For the birthday cake we wanted something halloween theme obviously , but we also wanted something a little more individualized for the birthday boy. Luckily Minecraft and halloween are an easy combo. For the recipe I searched and searched the internet. There are thousands and so many of them are different, not only in ingredients
Halloween Season
Halloween is only days away, 2 sleeps we tell the kids. The costumes are ready, the decorations are hung and the pumpkins are carved. We have a little more prep to do around here because Halloween is also a birthday! We are busy setting up for the big day so in this post I am
Halloween Apron Dress
Throughout the year, whenever I find discount Halloween fabric, I can’t help but stock up a bit. It is so much cheaper buying things like that out of season, after all. I bought the fabrics I am using for this project in August, right before this years Halloween fabric came out, so I only paid
Zombie Photoshoot
Ok, so here we have another photoshoot for this year. All of the kids shoots have been really different from one another which I love.

Blood Red Root Soup
Here is something I don’t make often. We don’t eat a lot of soup around here and I’m the only one who likes beets. Sad but true. I love beets, their sweet earthy smell and blood red appearance; I love it all. Any food that looks like there has been a minor massacre in the
Baby Baba Yaga Photoshoot
Ever wanted to set up silly photoshoots just for fun? Here is my daughter dressed as baby Baba Yaga and killing it. Photos are all shot on my phone and edited with GIMP free software. All props are made by myself. Baba Yaga Baba Yaga is an old woman from Slavic folklore, a witch that
