Pinterest Obsession

Ok... if you have not been introduced to "Pinterest" yet, you have no idea what you are missing.  Now that I am a "stay at home mom", pinning has become my new favorite obsession.  Here are a few of the things I have actually tried....


I did Sweet and Salty Treats for Jaxon's class for their Halloween party. They were very time consuming but worth the effort. They looked adorable and tasted even better!  The only thing the blog didn't mention was that it takes 1 to 2 HOURS for them to cool. So, be prepared if your in a time crunch.


I got these labels from tiny prints. Thought they were pretty cute.


And I made these mum pumpkins for my fall Super Club party. But, I used fake pumpkins & flowers so I can use them every year. I bought bunches of fake mums and sunflowers and used an awl to poke the holes and stuck the stems to them.  I used as many flowers as possible.


This burlap wreath was fun to make with my Sister-in-law, Blair. Ended up using it as a centerpiece for my Fall Supper Club Party.  The only thing she didn't mention was that it takes LOTS of burlap strips to make the wreath look full and good.



This pizza was inspired by this Butternut Squash Tart but I used the ingredients for a pizza using Jersey Girl Pizza dough instead.  Supper yummy fall dinner!



I also made this Pumpkin Cream Pie in mason jars for my Fall themed Supper Club.  They were super easy and a good fall treat.

Halloween 2011

This year, Jaxon decided he wanted to be Jake from the Neverland Pirates (his favorite Disney show at the moment) and we dressed Adalyn up as his parrot. This year was more fun that any other. Jaxon absolutely loved his costume and Adalyn was pretty comfortable in hers.  They had so much fun going to many parties and trick or treating.  Getting a decent picture of them both together was not as easy.  This is the best we could get.

And here is my handsome Pirate


His "Ahhhrrrr" face



And my Precious Parrot





Golf Cart Trick or Treating is so much fun.  


I think Adalyn is saying "STOP!" She cracks me up.
