DIY Spooky S'mores Trick or Treat Bags

These adorable + festive Halloween treat bags are perfect for party favors, class parties, or to hand out to trick or treaters! They’re so easy + simple to put together as well and I promise you don’t have to be super crafty or artsy to do it! I’ve included a FREE “spooky s’mores” printable below too, so you can add these cute tags to each bag as well without any extra work. Each treat bag includes everything you need to build a sweet Halloween s’more: mini Hershey bar, Halloween Peep marshmallow, and a graham cracker!

Fun Halloween Snack Board for Kids

In case you didn’t already know, I’m really into Halloween over here. I’ve already shared two fun + festive Halloween snack boards but I couldn’t resist putting together one more! This one is made with kids in mind but I think anyone could enjoy it! It has a little bit of everything, from fruit and veggies, to snacks and desserts, and even hot dogs (my kind of board)! Everything has a fun little twist or addition to make it Halloween themed so that kids will love eating every little bit! Not only is this board super easy to put together but probably also my most fun board to date! You can even involve the little ones and they will love helping assemble the different ingredients and putting this together!

My Favorite Halloween Books for Kid's + Babies

Even years before John Woodford was born, I started collecting children’s books for my future children. It was mostly because I just love collecting things and I especially love children’s books, vintage and new. I still have most of my books from childhood in addition to this recent collection which is getting quite out of control. I decided I would go through and gather up all my favorite Halloween books, old and new, to share from our collection! I’ve linked them all below so you can easily shop too (some are older and hard to find)! I hope you love them as much as I do

Fall Home Tour 2019: Rustic Farmhouse Pantry

The last space I’m sharing on my fall tour this year is my pantry! I don’t usually do too much in here as far as fall decor but this year I added a few little touches throughout and it ended up being one of my favorite fall spaces! We have been using this room a lot this fall and this table is becoming one of my favorite areas to spread out and work on various projects. My favorite part of the entire space is probably the skull vase on the centerpiece of the table- it was a Homegoods find but I’ve linked some similar options below along with the rest of my fall decor pieces from in here.
