This year, because of our sweet new little babe, Halloween in our home has been on the back burner a bit. So when mid Oct. rolled around, A asked “Mom, when are we going to decorate for Halloween?!” So after promising them in the morning that I would indeed pull out the Halloween decor, at …

Halloween Flashback:
I have loved reusing household items for craft projects for some time now. And one of my favorite free paper products that we always find in our mail box – oh nearly every day – are beautifully diverse security envelopes.
