.. Hello October! ..

Hello October... By far my favorite time of the year. 

That cold crisp air, the beautiful leaf colors and my two favorite holidays ; Halloween & 

Day of the dead. 

Let the decorating begin..... 

.. Mother's Day kick off with a #JustABrunchDate at FreshMadeNYC ..

Cooking is something that holds a special place in my heart, I hold many fond memories related to cooking. Family gatherings, those special holiday dishes cooked with loved ones, listening to my mom and dad retell stories of their childhood while they cooked dinner for my siblings and I. 

My love for cooking grows beyond the kitchen with so many memories connected directly to it, so it comes natural to spend a majority of my time in the kitchen. 

.. Am I READY?. ..

It seems like forever since I've made any form of contact with you. Why is it that every time I have my thoughts gathered and ready to have a steady flow blogging, BOOM!!!! LIFE happens. Ideas gathered, posts drafted and many pictures later my blog took second seat to this beautiful chaotic mess we call Life. 

.. We Finally did it!..

We finally were able to dress up as Jack & Sally from 

The Nightmare Before Christmas! We have always planned to dress up as a family for halloween 

and for some reason it never works out. We found the perfect Jack Skellington costume for frida and 

I was sally. Even though it didn't turn out as elaborate as we wanted to, we did it!!!

Simply Meant To Be...

Hopefully this is the first of many, as we have many ideas brewing in our heads. 

Looking forward to bring our ideas to life in the coming years.

.. We love Halloween, can you tell?! ..

In this house we love to decorate!!! Like its a complete understatement to just say love, we have absolutely turned our household into all types of scenarios for each holiday. 

But by far Halloween is by far our top favorite one to set up for.

I did love to decorate before my little one was born but the fact that her love is just as intense as mine (maybe even a more, Lol) is a plus! And that my husband also shares our passion is awesome!

So between the three of us we brainstorm what theme will we base our decor on. For this years halloween we decided on Spiders!!! Spiders were gonna be our main focus for the theme. We incorporated other elements of traditional halloween like pumpkins and witches here and there but webs & spiders were definitely the spot light.

The front door is our favorite to do, not only do we get to enjoy some major halloween decor but our neighbors have now become eager to see what we will have up. To be able to share our creation with them is super awesome! 

We gathered our supplies for the main piece, which was going to be in placed on our front door. 

This year we had the idea for displaying a "Spiders Prey" which would be a life sized prey wrapped in tangled in a spiders web. 

Our friend's name was Fred! Poor Fred got caught!

We DIY'd Fred, we couldn't find anything that met what we had in mind so we just made him. 

I will list below what materials we used for Fred below. 

 To make Fred we used:

1) A hooded sweater and Pants (that you won't miss while the duration that your Fred will be hanging on your door.)

2) Something you can stuff your pair of pants & sweater ( We used plastic bags.)

3) White garbage bags ( To wrap Fred's entire body with.)

4) Spider web (Which you can find literally in any store during halloween season.)

5) A giant Spider (Purchased at Target)

6) Assorted bag of Baby spiders (Which also can be found in any store during halloween season.)

For Fred's head we just stuffed the hoodie part of the sweater till we acquired the shape and size we wanted. Once we had finished Fred we went on to wrap his body with the white garbage bags, tape them down to keep them together and lastly wrap him up with web. 

Once he was wrapped we proceeded to hang him on the door (my husband screwed him on through remaining piece of fabric from pants & bag to back of out door.) Fred was ready for us to add more web so the baby spiders could easily be placed around him and web. Then as a final touch we added momma spider!!!

VOILA!!! 

We had so much putting this together and are already brewing up some ideas for next year's theme!

Do you have any suggestions? 

Hope this season is filled with some good ole halloween fun for you all!! 

.. Hello October! Im back from a blogging hiatus! ..

I'm Back!!! Feels like I've ben gone for more than 4 months. 

Life got ahold of me! Funny how you can have everything planned out, written in your calendar and BOOM!! Here comes life & puts your plans to a halt. 

Slowly getting back on track, summer has drifted away but not totally because the weather is still on those summery vibes. Ummmm, Can someone tell summer it needs to go away, Fall began on September 22!!!
