Spooky & Fun Kid Halloween Party

Our Home

6 Oct

October is here! You know what that means? Spooky season! I never really decorated for Halloween much until we had Layla. Something about seeing the holidays from your children’s perspective really makes you appreciate it more and want to savor every moment. Since we’re not sure exactly what Halloween night will look like this year, I thought we’d kick off the month with a fun party! Of course our favorite place, The Christmas Tree Shops andThat! had everything we needed to decorate for our spooky celebration.

I used this really cute oujie board tray and embellishments from the store to create a candy charcuterie board and it came out so good! I’m not sure what I was thinking with loading a tray full of candy when I’m on a 6 week diet challenge, but let’s just say I was celebrating October 1st okay? Haha. Layla really loved this (of course) and it was a nice treat considering we don’t do sweets too much. The Christmas Tree Shops andThat! has a great variety of candy and goodies to choose from.

The Halloween tablescape I did a few years ago with the Christmas Tree Shops was one of my favorites. But now that we have a smaller table and kiddies that grab everything, I wasn’t able to go all out like I used to. The trick or treat plates also doubled as decor, along with the table cloth and little details like the straws and little skulls, which are all from the store as well.

This little side table got spruced up with some spooky pieces that I’ve collected over the years from the Christmas Tree Shops. The spell book and the candelabra adds such a creepy vibe, I love it so much!

Of course the party is not complete without some activities, games, and Halloween pajamas! We decided to paint some pumpkins and do a halloween inspired sensory bin with fake spiders and web netting. If your kiddos are older, you could opt for a scavenger hunt or even carve pumpkins! Make this a special time with your kiddos. 

I hope you have some fun and make memories this Halloween with your family, it’s a really cool holiday. I think we might even create a bucket list for this month! 

This post is sponsored by The Christmas Tree Shops andThat! As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own! Thanks for supporting brands that I love and that make this little blog of mine possible.

Dreaming up this garden took a lot of time, patien Dreaming up this garden took a lot of time, patience and hard work… but who says you can’t garden in the burbs?! Gardening looks different for everyone 🌿🥒🌻 This is why it’s so special. You can grow wherever you are, it just takes a little extra planning!

A few things that make my heart happy these days: A few things that make my heart happy these days: 

Growing my very own sunflowers from seed 
Trying new recipes like this dill & fennel cheddar sourdough loaf 🤤🥖🌻 
Homeschooling my loves 

If 20 year old me could see me now, almost 30 and realizing.. these are the days ☀️
Gardening has brought such a peace to my life that Gardening has brought such a peace to my life that I never knew I needed. Growing up, I spent hours in my grandmother’s garden, eating carrots right from the ground and being fascinated with each bite. I started 4 years ago planting in one big raised bed, and every year I learn more. It’s such a challenge to garden, but there’s something about it that still fascinates me to this day.  It truly brings your family together to make an effort to connect with your food and nature. 

Thankful for Ant who helps without ever complaining to make this the beautiful garden I envisioned. I love watching our children eat a whole pound of strawberries or wipe out an entire trellis of snap peas without either making it into the house first. Planting seeds and weeding with the girls, teaching them every step of the way. Gardening has taught me to slow down a little more. 

Hoping to have a little farm stand to sell our veggies, eggs, kombucha, sourdough and more homemade goods sometime in the summer. ☀️🌻

If only sourdough really only took 60 seconds 😂 If only sourdough really only took 60 seconds 😂😂 I’ve been making sourdough for over 2 years now and it’s still a learning process! It’s such a gift to be able to pass this knowledge down to my children and I love that I can make this beautiful bread to nourish my family. Do you bake sourdough?! What’s holding you back?! #sourdough #sourdoughbread  #sourdoughbaking #sourdoughscoring #homesteadmama  #homesteading #homesteadlife #homemakerlife #homemaker
The pictures and videos my sister and doula took d The pictures and videos my sister and doula took during the birth of DJ mean more to me than any fancy ones ever would. I’m forever grateful to have them to look back on. I could rewatch this 1000 times and it still seems surreal.
