Happy Friday!  I hope everyone is ready for Halloween!  It seems this weeks fill in the blanks are inspired by the holiday.  Link up and see at the little things we do.




  1. When I was a kid I wanted to be a mom when I grew up.  I went through phases of other things, teachers, business woman, doctor, etc.  But no matter what I wanted to do as a profession I was always still a mom.
  2. As an adult my dream job would be, in addition to a mom, a professional organizer.  I love to get a spaced organized and design methods to maintain organization, and it would be awesome to get paid for that.
  3. When I was Younger I wanted to be just like my mom.
  4. The child hood Halloween costume that I remember most was when I was a prom queen before the prom.  When I was little I did not enjoy frilly things, but my mom and I came up with a costume idea to be the before picture of a prom queen.  I wore a bath robe, curlers in my hair, a face mask, and painted half my nails.  I really enjoyed it, but my mom told me when I was older that some of the neighbors thought I was dressed as an ex-wife, so I’m not sure if I totally recommend the costume now.
  5. My favorite childhood toy was baby Richard.  I loved dolls (see questions #1). I found this doll I really wanted, but it was expensive.  I made a deal with my parents that if I saved half the money they would pay the other half.  When I finally got the doll I used a baby name book my mom had to pick the name, and decided it was a boy.  I named him Richard.  Just in case your wondering, yes I still have the doll.
  6. The time I got into the biggest amount of trouble when I was a kid was when I would be mean to my sister.  I can’t remember anything else specific that I did as a young kid.  But I know I picked on my sister and got in trouble pretty regularly.
  7. I get daily inspiration from friends, family, co-workers, pinterest, blogs, and my amazing husband!
Happy Halloween and Happy Friday!

Halloween Decorations

I love Halloween.  It is one of my favorite holidays.  It helps that my birthday is November 1st, but the main reason is I will use any excuse to dress up!  Bond and I have an annual Halloween Birthday Bash the weekend of or before Halloween.  Costumes are a requirement.  A few unlucky people have shown up without one in the past, the punishment… I put a costume on them at the door.  I have a trunk of costumes I have collected over the years and I selected one, or parts of several, and you are stuck wearing it the rest of the party. 

This year Bond and I are going as ‘Mad Men’.  He will be decked out as Don Draper, and I will be the early 60’s house wife, dressed for a night on the town of course!  

I have been am decorating for Halloween and the party this week.  I decided to try a new decoration that is the combination of two things I found on Pinterest.  Here’s what you need…

Pumpkins  (I needed 3)

Thumb tacks in the color of your choice (I used red and white, Boomer Sooner!)


First, I stacked the pumpkins.  It is important to make sure they are stacked sturdy and with a good surface facing out on each.  Then using a pencil trace the letters onto each pumpkin.  They don’t have to be perfect.  I made several adjustments along the way.  Start to place the tacks along the lines and correct the shapes as you go. 


Then I took them to the front porch, restacked, and decorated with cob webs. 



What is your favorite Halloween decoration?
