I wanted something different for my twins first Halloween that wasn’t just store bought but also wouldn’t put a huge dent in my bank account. I am a new mom of twins so I had a tight budget for TWO babies. For both costumes, it ended up costing me less than $7 to make! Mainly … Read more
This toddler old lady costume was inspired by my mom (my daughter’s Grammy). It was her idea and although I thought it was lame at first, the idea stuck so we decided to give it a try. The supplies included a dress from Value Village, bag of cotton balls, sock nylons, sunglasses, necklace, sequin, hot … Read more
We thought dressing our twin daughters up as old ladies would be a fun Halloween costume. The costumes were very easy to put together. I glued craft pom-poms onto hats for their wigs. My husband made walkers out of PVC pipe and spray painted them. We added tennis balls for a fun effect. I purchased … Read more

Every year I normally create costumes for my kids. This year, I decided that our toddler would be a prefect granny! She’s short, she repeats herself (a lot), she’s incredibly nosy, and we typically wait around for her to complete any task – especially getting in and out of the car, so, she has the … Read more
This is my son “old man Charlie”! When deciding on a costume this seemed like a natural choice. His wardrobe is already pretty old man like (lots of cardigans) and we had the glasses – all we needed was a walker and mustache! He hates to wear his glasses, and he’s never worn a mustache … Read more
