After months of trying to figure out what to be, we came up with this idea a week before Halloween, A WEEK. My husband (Princess Leia) was the simplest to make. I just had to sew a loose dress. My costume(Han Solo) was made by finding a shirt and jacket at the thrift store and … Read more
With my son James’ first Halloween looming, and the constant reminder that my husband would soon be deploying for a year with the U.S. Army, I was faced with the challenge of making this year’s Halloween something special. It didn’t take me long to realize that family Star Wars costumes would make for a fun … Read more
It all started with a red puffy vest Cooper already had and a side comment from my husband about Marty McFly in late September. I’ve always loved Back to the Future, and love cars since I was little and grew up going to car shows with my Dad; what better way to tote my one year old … Read more

The first thing I did was to purchase the Stay Puft costume from a local costume store. The “only” part I used from the package was the body that blows up (uses a fan with batteries in the inside). The body works ok if you don’t care about the head and body being made out of the same material. … Read more
I’m a college student in a sorority, so every weekend I’m surrounded by frat culture. They spring out the beer pong tables like it’s their job, you know, automatically, some might say robotically.

I was born in 1986, the year the animated series “The Real Ghostbusters” premiered, so to say I’ve been a lifelong fan of Ghostbusters would be quite accurate.
