Pinocchio Costume ~ For The Good Days

Though I try and try, I am just not a DIY’er in the way that so many others I know are. I like to finish projects quick and don’t have the patience required to complete them properly. This all gets thrown out the window in the Fall. One project I relish in creating are Halloween costumes for my kids.

I love hearing their requests, and scouring the internet for inspiration. Then I set out to local thrift shops for the pieces required, and eventually, they will have their handmade costumes ready for Halloween! In all honestly, I do cheat a bit. I’ve been known to find a like-new Batman mask in a used store, and I jump on this opportunity if it’s there. Let’s face it, we’re all a little short on time!

Below are some inspiring handmade costumes and DIY’s for those willing to give it a try!

The third largest hotel management company in the U.S., Destination Hotels and Resorts, launched their national “Kids Eat Healthy” campaign last week in hopes to encourage families and kids to eat healthy while at home as well as during their travels. Parent and kids can get healthy tips and recipes by visiting the company’s new website.

Several of the head chefs from the resorts have come up with some delicious (and healthy) recipes and menus some of which even cater to those with allergies and food sensitivities. Over the next few weeks we will be featuring one of these recipes during our Food Friday Feature!
