If you’re looking for a way to use up that leftover Halloween candy, this is the recipe for you! My kids absolutely LOVED making this crushed candy cupcake.  Growing up, Halloween was one of my favorite holidays.

As I started getting older, Halloween started to lose some of it’s appeal but becoming a mom changed that again. Granted, I don’t always look forward to Halloween in terms of dealing with trick or treaters, but over the past few years I’ve started to enjoy it more. I’d love to start really decorating for Halloween again but in the meantime, I have fun planning ahead for Halloween. We usually…

For that matter, is it possible to outgrow Halloween? We have shared a few ideas for creating a toddler friendly Halloween, an autism friendly Halloween, and even a few costume ideas for the family. When it comes to trick-or-treating, I’ve also…

Safety is always an issue with toddlers as they are very naive and can…

When I had my old site, I always had holiday pages up and one section was dedicated especially to the history and legends of Halloween. I want to bring a bit of that back and talk…
