9 Easy DIY Halloween Costumes + Two Spooky Recipes with TruMoo Orange Scream

This post is brought to you by TruMoo.

Hello! It’s almost Halloween! Eek! So today let’s talk about Halloween traditions. We have a few. ;) How about you? ;) Since we moved into our neighborhood about 8 years ago Halloween has become one of our favorite holidays. We have the best neighborhood (in my opinion!) for Halloween. We get tons of ghost & goblins to our door. Neighbors host spook houses in their garages, hayrides through the streets & everyone decorates their houses & yards from top to bottom with spooky Halloween decorations. Our neighbors across the street even turned their front yard into a graveyard one year. Spooky! Before my kiddos head out the door to go trick or treating we always have a spooky Halloween meal. TruMoo Orange Scream would be the perfect addition to any Halloween meal or to add color to a favorite Halloween recipe. After we eat my kiddos head off to do a little trick or treating in usually a homemade costume made by yours truly. So I’ve scoured this blog & our family blog to bring you 9 Easy DIY Halloween Costumes from over the years. I’m also sharing 2 recipes with TruMoo Orange Scream. So let’s get started! :)

Buddy Box ~ Kids Bible Lessons

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Lifetree, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #growkidsfaith http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

Good morning! Recently we have been trying to get our kiddos off electronics & into playing, creating, learning new things & using their imaginations! That is why I was so excited to let them know about the Buddy Box program. My 6 year old couldn’t wait for his Buddy Box to arrive at our door. I love that the Buddy Box subscription reinforces the church lessons my kiddos hear on Sundays & in our family’s Family Home Evening lessons & scripture study. Our Buddy Box was full of fun activities, games, kids bible stories & lessons that kept my kiddos busy for a whole afternoon & then some. Let me tell you more! :)
