DIY Tooth Fairy & Baby Tooth Costume

Our Tooth fairy and baby tooth costume was just too fun to make!!! And as a mom of a toddler and 3.5 month old I knew these costumes would required a few nights to complete, which is totally ok!! Because dressing Emma up literally over night... has now become my new FAVORITE thing!! It's all because of those cheeks, and that face!

So I went ahead listed below are all materials and details for both girls costumes after once again, being a huge hit over in instagram. Then, a tutorial/demo for everything (including her dress) is saved under my story highlights in Instagram titled, "DIY Tooth Fairy."

DIY Pumpkin Bucket Upgrade + Halloween Basket

The pumpkin bucket is actually a DIY upgrade! I used this pink spray paint to paint the pumpkin bucket (2 coats + sealer) and black craft paint to fill in the eyes, nose and mouth. Everything inside was truly hand picked by my eyes and heart, equally.  : )

Below is my letter to Abby explaining everything in her bucket

Dear Abby!

This is the month you've been waiting for all year! Halloween! I pulled together a few things to help make it extra special! First, I painted your old trick or treat 

pumpkin bucket your favorite color.  Pink!

When we visit the pumpkin patch this week, I knew this  “Hi Pumpkin” t-shirt would be the perfect way to dress and celebrate the day you've been asking for, since June. 

For home, I got you this very special  “BOO” holiday flag to use as we continue our dance parties in the kitchen! Now when we play your all-time favorite song, “monster mash!” you’ll have some extra motivation to create new and amazing dance moves. I can’t wait to see what you do!

And while you dance, I love watching you perfect your twirl so I thought a new polka dot twirling dress would be magical.

I made you a glitter shooting star that is detachable, so you can add some festive Halloween flare to our preschool backpack all month long. Just because I know you’ll like it (like mother, like daughter!)

And lastly this  light up star wand will help you light your way on Halloween as you lead me, baby sis, and daddy through our neighborhood for trick or treating! 

I love you Abby! and I can’t wait to create all these magical memories with you all month long!

Love, Mommy

A Few Fun Fall Favorites

Abby’s been talking about visiting the pumpkin patch since the end of July (I know…my jaw dropped too. Twice). It's certainly a fav around here! So I finnnnallllllyyyy caved and decorated the girl’s rooms for Halloween this past week by hanging a couple cardstock paper bats using this kid friendly print out and these white pumpkins.It delights them both every time they go in! 

So today I rounded up a few fun fall favorites that have been making our girly heart's burst lately like Modern Birch’s “Hey Boo” wooden sign in Emma’s Nursery! It’s by far my favorite décor find this season and so I'm tickled pink to say they're running a special 20% off sale just for our community by using the promocode FALLBABY20 at check out until Sunday 9/22! And since welcoming Emma back in June, I've been obsessed with pink lately so getting all snuggled up in a cozy pink sweater like this one has been my guilty pleasure whenever temps dipped down to the 60's. 

Abby was obsessed with her kitty cat shoes last year, so I got her another pair to enjoy and Emma is allllll about her lovely lately from Witt’s End.I can see why because it’s beyond soft and the personalized E just warms my soul when I see her sleepy little face all snuggled up with it. 

The girls and I have been visiting our local craft stores about once a week since Abby started Preschool and with Halloween right around the corner... I finally grabbed this polka dot pillow to bring home! I swear it was calling my name (at least that's what I told Steve) : )  More on why we’ve done so many trips to the craft store coming soon…. So be sure to check instagram on Sunday for two very exciting things happening!!!

And happy "almost fall' weekending!! 

Warmly, Steph
