Halloween buffet and mantle

Hello goblins!! Thanks for stopping by today, I wanted to share my dining room buffet and den mantle all spooked up!! Lets take a look...if you dare!
This is always a fun spot to decorate since I usually put up lots of seasons pics of the girls, its a great place to look back!
I get these cute frames from Personalization Mall every year and put their Halloween pic in it!
This scary black cat came from Aunt Judy and my other items came from Walmart.
This Target wreath has been one of my favorites for years. I did get this new Lakeside Collection sign, I love it and its pretty tall!
Moving into our den our mantel got a scare!! I have had these BOO letters for a few years now, they came from Joanne's and I still love them!
Another spooky cat in the house, this time its a shiny purple one! The pumpkins came from Walmart.
I used my fall candle again using the orange ribbon and added it about the fireplace. The Happy Halloween sign was another Walmart find.
This scary witch came from Aunt July, eek!! The BOO chalkboard came from Walmart.
This pumpkin wreath with witch legs came from Walmart too and I added some orange lights inside the fireplace.
Its not the pretest but I added a little something on top of out black Direct TV box, this Beware sign and Bulldog football Amy gave me like 10 years ago!!
Have a spooktacular day!

What I Wore

Hey Friends, right now here in GA some days are warm and some days are cool so my outfits lately have been lots of layering, but I like those the best!! Here are some fall like outfits along with Halloween ones if you are looking for some festive ideas!
Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice!
One of my favorite tees from Etsy a few years ago, you can pair it with so much, I pulled out my new vest and booties but still short leave so it was not too hot.
I have had this Target dress for 6 years now, Mom got this for me right after I had Taylor and I still love it. I think the plum color is very fallish.
Mustard yellow is my favorite fall color so these cute Poshmark short are great when its still warm outside. The white tee came rom Walmart.
Love this color combo! And I love poplin tees especially to hide those baby left over. The tee came from Walmart and the yellow pencil skirt came from Amazon, they have a great pencil skirt selection.
Still loving this palm leaf Old Navy dress, it was still hot when I wore this but I thought the black would be great with an orange necklace for Halloween and my Dixie Delights bracelet.
Another mustard yellow piece, this time a cardigan with my black basic tee and Shein.com skirt.
Every year I treat myself to a Target tee for Halloween and Christmas, they have some of the best ever! This one had spooky bats and only $15 bucks...BOO!
This is not a picture of Beetlejuice, its me!!
Classic black and orange for Halloween again!

Casper Movie Night

BOO Ya'll!!
Its Casper the friendly ghost movie night!! He is a nice ghost so no need to be scared now! But if you have some ghost pj's it will be way more fun!
We started off with some cute matching ghost pjs from Target, the girls loved them!
Daddy and me also got a matching pair, so much fun!!
Coco goes straight for the  candy corn of course!
Casper is such a sweet ghost! I just pulled up some of my Halloween décor from downstairs to decorate the table!
Use what you have!
A ghost pizza is a must when watching Casper! Just do your best, as you can see mine in not Pinterst worthy but the girls liked it, and just add tons of cheese then it won't matter how it looks!
I made some ghost donuts and bananas with some mini chocolate chips!
Halloween movie nights are always so much scary fun!!
Keeping up with the Halloween food fun, I got out my pumpkin cookie cutter and Halloween sprinkles for a breakfast treat!

Halloween Coffee Station and Loft Decor

Happy Monday Everyone, did you have a good weekend? We enjoyed some lovely fall weather with cooler temps, I even had the windows opened one night letting that cool and free air in!! I wanted to share my Halloween coffee station and some loft décor today, hope you enjoy!
One of my all time favorite holiday signs, Hocus Pocus, I need coffee to focus!! I got this sign from Etsy and the cute black haunted house came from Walmart as well as the pumpkin mugs. Check out my new cup!! Its AWESOME!!! You all know I LOVE Maleficent!!
Nothing too complicated here, just some simple orange ribbon tied around our kcups and a little witch to hang up!
I also added a little Halloween décor on the chest up in our loft! Check out the pumpkin Aunt Judy gave me, it lights up!!
I added a little spider web Happy Everything attachment and kept my fall sign up.
Every year for October I do all Halloween movies, its so much fun!! I keep DVD's and books in this cute black basket and I put some yummy treats in this old McDonalds Happy Meal box, remember these?!
Lots of fun movies and books!
My favorite Pottery Barn find, a Halloween count down! I love filling these date holders with fun Halloween activities like Mummy Hot Dogs and Spooky Smores! BOO!!
And just cause they are so cute XOXO
More cuteness XOXO

Diamond & Silk Chit Chat Live and Magic Light Trick

Happy Friday Friends! Its really feeling like fall in GA today, so nice!! After that horrible hurricane its nice to enjoy some pretty and calm weather! Today I wanted to share some pics from our trip Sunday to watch Diamond and Silk Chit Chat Live!!
We are big D&S fans!! We have enjoyed watching their show that airs every Monday night on Facebook Live, they are 2 women who are hilarious and love our awesome country!!
As excited as I was about Diamond and Silk, I was even more excited about connecting with my sweet friend Kerrie and meeting her hubby Kyle! I would bet its been over a decade since I got to see Kerrie, we grew up together at our old church. Thru social media we reconnected and she is now a Mommy of 3!!!! And she lives right down the street!!
Plus she has great taste's, she loves D&S!
After the show we got to stop by LaMadaeleine for our favorite soup of all time, their creamy mushroom!!
All this was possible with the help of our sweet baby sitter Ms. Emily! She is so full of energy and fun, they girls had a blast!
And she sent me this adorable pic of Taylor at school!
Like everyone else on Instagram I love following Brooke at Nesting with Grace, she is so sweet and had so many great ideas, one of her most favorite is the Magic Light Trick! Its simple and awesome if you are looking to add some light in your home. I took this screen shot of my Amazon order, just a pack of Puck lights and the batteries to fill them. There is an easy peel off sticker and you just stick it where ever you want!
I stuck 4 underneath my kitchen cabinets and 2 in my dining room chest and I am thrilled!! They really give off a soft glow and so affordable, this is one you have to try!!
And to close out before the weekend starts, a lot of my sweet family is in Baton Rouge right now getting ready to cheer on the Dawgs. My family is hands down the best out there!! Sunday morning was kind of rough for my Hubby and my sweet cousin and her husband were right there helping us out without a second thought. I am so grateful and blessed for all my familyXOXO

Haunted Gingerbread Houses

Greeting friends, I hope you are doing good today, I know all of us have our South GA/Florida neighbors on our minds today. Hearing and seeing all the stories and pics of Hurricane Michael is so sad, they really got hit hard. I hope cell phone towers can be fixed soon, I can imagine the agony of not knowing if your loved ones are ok. Just one call can make them feel so much better. Hoping that happens soon. My family has vacationed on the Gulf for years, its truly has the most beautiful beaches in the country and is just a fun place to be.
Switching gears a little bit I wanted to share with you a fun weekend Halloween activity we did, Halloween gingerbread houses!
But first before we started building we needed the proper fuel!! Chocolate, pretzels and candy corn treats!
These are so simple, all you need is a baking sheet! I saw Jennifer at Memory Making Momma post these and they are delish!!
Just simple lay your pretzels on a baking sheet, put some chocolate on it and bake for just a few minutes until its melted. Then quickly put a candy corn on the melted chocolate and let it set then ENJOY!!!
Talk about a spooktacular treat!!!
These cute Halloween Houses came from Target.com, but you can also find them at Walmart, I think about $10 bucks each!
I like to first layout a plastic table cloth cause it can get a little messy, it comes with all kinds of treats. One thing that helps me a lot if my hot glue gun! It works way better then the frosting at holding the house together.
Even Daddy helped out with some decorating!
I think Taylor enjoyed eating the icing the most!
Cutest little pumpkin ever!!
Looks great Tay!!
The finished houses on display, don't they look spooky?!?!?!
