an alternative to the slutty nurse

While searching for the perfect Halloween costume for my son, I came across this website which featured images that were created for a movie theater opening in Brazil! My eyes welted with inspiration as I marveled the pure genius and attention to detail that each costume welcomed. Consider this my personal challenge to all the parents out there:

Beat this.

If not in creativity, then in craft. Let’s make Halloween fun (and not just another excuse for teenage girls to dress provocatively)!

Here are a few resources to get you started….

We haven’t quite decided what Dyce will be this year, but after seeing these images I vow to step up my game! Happy Tuesday folks.

In the fall as cold weather approaches, I always tend to cook more comfort food.  And I bet if we were playing Family Feud and had to name a comfort food, chicken pot pie would be in the top five.  I found this recipe last week and boy is a a keeper.  Quick, super easy to make and really delicious.
