Hi friends! ♡
This week, we're bringing back a little old-fashioned Halloween fun with simple crafts, sweet treats, and a free printable game to enjoy all month long.

Bringing Back an Old-Fashioned Halloween
Remember when Halloween decorations were mostly homemade, costumes came from whatever you could find in the house, and carving pumpkins was one of the biggest events of the season?
Halloween has gotten a lot bigger over the years, but some of the simplest traditions are still the most fun. I've rounded up some nostalgic Halloween ideas worth bringing back, from homemade decorations and costumes to the little traditions that make October special.
MAKE THIS
Paper Plate Pumpkin Masks
These cute pumpkin masks are about as simple as it gets. Kids can create their own jack-o'-lantern faces, and imperfecion is part of the fun!
FROM MY KITCHEN
Halloween Rolo Pretzel Treats
Sometimes the easiest treats are the ones everyone loves. These little bites combine crunchy pretzels, chocolate, caramel, and nuts for a sweet-and-salty treat that's hard to resist.
MAKE LIFE EASIER
You Don’t Have to Do It All
It's easy to feel like you need to squeeze in every pumpkin patch, Halloween party, craft, and seasonal activity before October is over.
But you don't have to do everything to make the season special.
Pick a few traditions you really enjoy, put them on the calendar, and give yourself permission to skip the rest. Sometimes a Halloween movie and a bowl of popcorn are all you need.
MY FAVORITE FIND
Sweet Potato Chips
I tried sweet potato chips from Sam's Club this week, and I'm hooked! Made with just sweet potatoes, avocado oil, and sea salt, they're a delicious alternative to regular chips.
A LITTLE SOMETHING FREE
Halloween Bucket List Bingo
Want to squeeze in a little more Halloween fun this month? I've made a free Halloween Bucket List Bingo game filled with simple activities to enjoy before October 31.

Thanks for being here! I hope these ideas bring a little more “lovely” to your week.
