Halloween Costumes- Homemade make the memories

Thinking back through the years what Halloween costumes do you remember? Those purchased or those homemade? I know we are all busy but for me I think homemade make lasting memories.

As a child of the late 70's & 80's I distinctly remember the one Halloween costume my parents purchased. The plastic C3P0 when I was in Kindergarten. Otherwise my costumes were pieced together. I was the youngest of 4 so we had inventory of hats, capes, etc. I was transformed into a Cheerleader, Cowgirl, Dracula. Once my mom made an awesome Clown costume out of my footed zippered pajamas (snuggie) and sheets.

As an adult I have most enjoyed creating my own costumes. I am no Martha Stewart and don't know how to sew. Give me a glue gun, duck tape and I can make some magic.

Welcome to My New Blog

I turned 40 this month. I found myself reflecting where I've been and where I'm headed. I've made mistakes but learned from those lessons. Through trial and error I'm discovering what works.

I am a doctor's wife, mother of 2 daughters, WAHM and athlete. I love to be busy yet that causes some areas of my life to suffer. I am a work in progress trying to find balance between being a wife, mother, business owner and support for my community.

I will share my successes and struggles. Be it with time management, relationships, Wellness, cooking (which I HATE) or organization. My family is my #1 priority. I strive to put systems into place to allow quality time with those I love.

I hope you will join me on the journey of parenthood. Let's share our experiences- the good, the bad and the ugly. You are not alone!

Check back for Motivation Mondays, Wellness Wednesdays and Family Fridays.
