My best friend was having a superhero bachelorette Party in Vegas. I wanted something more accurate then the ones they sell at the store. For this women’s Riddler costume I ended up ordering a men’s blazer and turned it into a vest. I got the hat and added question marks to the vest and hat … Read more
This year, my husband and I decided to dress up as the Flintstones as a family for our annual Halloween party and trick-or-treating. As it was our first year in our new house, we had a lot of other decorations to make for the house and I knew I wouldn’t be able to make costumes … Read more
A Disney movie is not complete without a villain but yet they’re highly underrated (still waiting for the day they get a movie of their own) so instead of going the princess route this year we decided to join forces with the dark side and be Disney Villains. Plus sometimes it’s fun to be the … Read more
Here’s my “Brightest Crayon in the Box” Crayon costume idea. When it comes to bright ideas and thinking outside the box, I like to think I am pretty sharp and mostly *on point.* Life is too short to not be fun and colorful. John Mayer said it best: “Life is like a box of crayons. Most … Read more

The costume I made was for my 2 year old daughter Ari whom I call my lil’ “nerd.” :) I came up with the idea because I wanted something different, something “outside the box” that not many children wear during Halloween and it had to be cheap and made from a diaper box which was … Read more
We made this cactus costume for our daughter, Margaret, who was made in Scottsdale, AZ. She was a desert girl from the beginning. We eventually moved to GA and she was born on June 7, 2014.

We spent months brainstorming this awesome bot costume! Our 4 year old talked about being a robot for quite a while, so we decided to make it happen.
