    diy trick or treat bags (with free printable)

    diy trick or treat bags

    halloween is coming up real soon — and who doesn’t want to have the best candy on the street?! here’s a very easy way to make yours stand out (and portion it fairly which i never do).

    trick or treat bags

    materials

    cellophane bags
    thick cardstock
    a printer
    scissors
    stapler (or double sided tape)

    treat bagstreat bags diy

    directions

    one . print out the printables at 100% scale. make sure they’re not scaled up. these measure 5.75″ wide by 5″ tall to fit my bags, but you can size up or down.

    two . fold the paper in half and cut it out. i trimmed my bags a little because i only had so much candy. fill with candy and then staple on the toppers!

    payday wishlist

    hey it’s friday! we saw gravity last weekend, and i wanted to warn anyone that wants to see it to definitely see it in the theatre and in 3D. it’s not the greatest movie of all time, but i really think it could be boring at home on your tv. so see it – it’s like a 2 hour star tours ride.

    payday wishlist / 60

    one . these would look so cute and fancy for a night out with a ponytail.
    two . i will forever love baskets and bins for crap. i want to fill this foil covered paper bag with all my crap.
    three . so this rug is actually a yoga mat, and i don’t do yoga — but that means it would be a perfect kitchen mat!
    four . love love this simple diamond ikat phone case.
    five . an adorable little pouch that would look amazing with an all black outfit.

    photographer dina fried created this photography series of meals entitled fictitious dishes inspired by famous books. guess which book inspired each meal (via buzzfeed)

    i am such a sucker for wes anderson movies, i see a poster and i’m already in. actually i hear a title or premise and i’m in. well now there’s a trailer to watch. in in in in. ps when i first moved to la, i saw royal tenenbaums 4 times in the theatre — i had no friends. (via huffington post)

    i’m in awe over these oil paintings by alyssa monk. i love how she does different water patterns on each one. (via the artful desperado)

    i JUST threw away leftover buttermilk after i convinced my boyfriend i’d find a way to use the rest up. i didn’t, and it went bad. and now i see this of course. these three ways to use up leftover buttermilk sound gooood. and helpful. (via the savory)

    love this mini mr. rogers costume and i love that it looks like he didn’t want to hold the puppets. (via oh happy day)

    these easy clay pumpkins can be used as wine stoppers, drink toppers, whatever you could think of. my favorite DIYs are always the simplest. (via paper & stich)

a week of food, pretty views of water, and ARLO CA a week of food, pretty views of water, and ARLO CAMP! ⛺️ you gotta swipe all the way through for the full tour it’s incredible
#MMS_Partner some sweet little easter ideas to cop #MMS_Partner some sweet little easter ideas to copy! here are a few cute and VERY kid-friendly spring get together ideas with @mmschocolate because it’s way more fun to do together! 

🥚decoupage easter eggs 🥚you can make the prettiest cardboard or paper mache eggs with whatever design you want, no art skills required. separate the napkin plies from the top layer, trim out the pieces you want to use and then apply adhesive with a brush, smoothing to prevent wrinkles! i’m obsessed with how these came out!

perfect for table settings or your egg hunt! (i like to fill our egg hunt eggs with pastel M&M’S® for a fun little surprise!)

🥚birds nest cookies 🥚 these are so easy, nostalgic and actually shockingly delicious. my kids LOVED helping and the messier the better!

— in 30 sec increments, melt 1 cup milk chocolate chips, ½ cup butterscotch chips and 2 tb peanut butter together in the microwave until smooth.
— mix in 2½ cups cooked chow mein noodles (sub pretzel sticks if you can’t find)
— scoop onto a parchment lined cookie sheet and carefully place a couple M&M’S® Peanut Pastel Blend Eggs on top
— let set for 3 hours

🥚pastel M&M’S® centerpiece🥚using whatever you’ve got at home, put a smaller vase or vessel into a larger one and fill in between with M&M’S® Pastel Milk Chocolate Blend, carefully add water to the inner vessel and flowers. pick whatever you’ve got growing outside (hopefully!) all the twigs and wildflowers welcome, it’s spring after all. 

(such a dream partner! i mean i’m practically named after M&M’S®! lol)
i’m SO hard on myself for my productivity levels s i’m SO hard on myself for my productivity levels so i have to constantly remind myself that i’ve still done plenty to the house even if most rooms aren’t pretty yet! 

some little things we’ve done around the house lately — baby steps!!!! how much better are the ceilings!??!!
a cute little way to make baking cookies with your a cute little way to make baking cookies with your kids special! divide a little dough, enough for one or two kids and let them have their way with it 😆

my kids put smashed up candy cane, marshmallows, jam, sprinkles into their custom cookies— they may technically turn out quite gross but it’s really cute!!

back home, back to sorta the opposite of beach wea back home, back to sorta the opposite of beach weather but the snow is all melted now and izzy was asking to come back to connecticut so she can eat couscous again lol 

and we got a new chair for the living room!

the old me would never choose a dark leather chair, but I’m so happy i did! the room was feeling so cool toned but it added a lot of warmth to the corner. still need to paint the window trim and add shades, yes still talking about it!
hi!!! we spent a few days unplugged, in paradise, hi!!! we spent a few days unplugged, in paradise, away from winter!! omg i needed this.
