I couldn’t wait to have my twin girls. I couldn’t wait to dress them alike. UNTIL the day a stranger stopped us and said *with fear all over his face* “OH my GOSH! It’s the twins from The Shining!” I never dressed them exactly alike after that. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I have … Read more
This Bud Lightyear costume was such an easy costume to make. I already had a Bud Light shirt that I cut, but you can just tape a Bud Light symbol onto your chest too. I bought Buzz Lightyear inflatable wings at a costume store for $10. I used purple and green duct tape, and at … Read more

This costume has been recreated because of it going viral and also by request. So here we go again! This was just as fun to make the second time around, and I may be partial, but I think Journey looks even cuter this four years later. ;) Originally, I was with my daughters at the … Read more
