Our little white kitchen was my very first DIY project when I started blogging 1.5 years ago so I felt it was time to dress her up in some festive holiday spirit this week and highlight her again! For a full tutorial on our DIY upgraded all white play kitchen with links, you can find it here

The cooking utensil's hanging on display can be found here which I was able to get on sale for super cheap during Ikea's friends and family sale! (Day of Thanksgiving! So fingers crossed they do it again this year)  The felt veggies can be found here and our pots and pans here. I also put together some more play food favorites of ours! As well a few items I'm getting Abby + Emma for Christmas this year because... Tis the season for our mini cooks to stay busy while we cozy up with warm coffee (reheated 3x) in our favorite festive holiday mug! ; )

Two scoops please! With extra sprinkles! Both Abby and Emma's costumes were made in 24 hours (including two coats of spray paint for Abbys rain boots/ice cream cone). I wouldn't advise this hack for every day use as you can see from the photo above that her paint came off fairly quickly! Great for a last minute hack! Though in the end, I would stick with shoes your little one already has if possible!

For a full video tutorial on how I made her costume and Emma's, you can find it over in instagram under my story highlights titled, "2 scoops!" All of her sprinkles were felt from Hobby Lobby and the rest of her costume is linked below. If you liked this costume, you might also like last years "last minute" Halloween costume found here and or this one. Enjoy!! + happy almost Hallows Eve friends!


Warmly, Steph

Our take on Monsters Inc DIY Family Halloween costume!!! This was the Friday Abby and I have been waiting for... a cake pop Friday with Steve (and a baby wearing costume!) Which  I feel like every family with little ones would delight in dressing up as this theme at least once! Yes?! As we did, and it's certainly way more cute then spooky scary! 

Video tutorials for Emma's BOO head piece and Abby's monster horns + Sullivan dress, along with Steve's eye (aka Mike) is saved over in instagram under my story highlights titled, "DIY Monster Inc." All other sources are listed below.

Our BOOkie party was so fun, festive, and above all simple! Something I really strive for and appreciate right now during this season of my life. SO it felt sooo good to be able to do something fun for Abby, yet manageable. 

Decorating ghost cookies and having all things BOOkie was our theme! The DIY back drop took more time than I initial thought once started...2 hours is what I'd like to say, though I believe it was closer to 3. I could have easily just put up the pink and black Pearl & Jane garland and our personalized "BOOKie" sign (which Amy does offer personalized options in her shop p.s.!) and called it a party! However I really loved having the all white ghost inspired back drop and I"m so glad I took the time to do it! I then finished off the look by bringing in a couple pumpkins from our front porch. And then, I really felt like it was a party! 

And again, for this weeks theme of cake pop Friday DIY Halloween Costumes we have my husband joining us! The cake pop Friday Abby and I wait for alllll year!

Warmly, Steph

DIY Princess & The Pea Costume

Our Princess & The Pea sibling costume might be my favorite cake pop Friday DIY Halloween costume yet! Video tutorials for both Emma's "pea" headpiece and Abby's caplet are saved over in  Instagram under my story highlights titled (you guessed it!) Princess & The P! 

Abby's capelet cape was a twist off of this no-sew tutorial I found  here through Huffington Post.com It is by far the easiest DIY no-sew cape I could find! And I'm sooo thankful it was out there as  Ruffle & Stuff  really helped give me a base for making something whimsical and fun for Abby! I just left out the ties, arm holes, and then switched the felt fabric for layers of white and sparkly tulle. I also adjusted the measurements to fit my 3 year old (who's really a 4T!) and then decided to add an extra layer for the cape to make it tiered and lastly.... made extra ruffles! 

Here's the list of supplies and measurements I did for my own version:
