Taking Care of Monkey Business

DIY Pom Pom Spiders

I need somebody to explain something to me, because I am honestly stumped… Why is it that the thing I hate and fear the most, I also find strangely adorable?? I have yet to meet a spider I don’t despise, but when I was preparing all of my Halloween treats and crafts, they were…

Halloween Push-up Cake Pops

Guys… I’m sad. This is my last Halloween treat to share with you. The last 2 weeks went by so fast! I guess I’m not too sad though, because I’ve got some fun crafts coming your way next week! But for now, let’s give these push-up pops the attention they deserve! I bought a…

Witch Marshmallow Pops

Let me be frank. I have a little, teensy, tiny obsession with marshmallow pops. They are just so cute and fun to make! I knew the spider pops weren’t enough… It just wasn’t out of my system yet. So, with the help of my little monkeys, I went to work and came up with…

Spider Marshmallow Pops

Wanna know something I DON’T want to find on my stairs? A bar of soap. Let me be more specific… a bar of soap covered in bite marks. I especially don’t want to see THREE bars of half-eaten soap. But alas… that’s what I found. Before you judge me, I don’t make it a habit to feed…

Gummy Worm Ice Cubes

Can I just start off by saying how cute Sophie looks in this pic? ^^^ I love that she’s licking her lips! She’s such a cooperative little model 🙂 In reality though, she was probably just hungry. As soon as we finished taking pictures, she ate the entire tray of ice cubes. I mean, who does…

Whopper Spider Cookies

Welcome back! I hope you all enjoyed my ghost pancakes, because we sure did! But I love today’s Halloween treat even MORE. I start out with my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, but you can use any recipe you like. {This recipe uses cream cheese instead of eggs… which means you can eat the dough! And…

DIY Glow-in-the-dark Fort

Can I just start this post off by saying how hard it is to take pictures in the dark?? I’m pretty new to photography, and this one sure was a challenge! Most of the pics came out blurry and you couldn’t see much… haha. Well, I have a lot to learn 🙂 Regardless of my…

Blindfolded Taste Test

There is something about recreating my childhood traditions with my own kids that makes me feel so… old. It doesn’t seem like it was that long ago that I was blindfolded in my parents’ kitchen, while my brother fed me the most awful tasting thing he could find in the pantry. And now I’m doing…
