Happy Halloween. P.S. I Love You


Happy Halloween, y'all!
Let me tell you Zander has been asking when this day will get here for WEEKS! No exaggeration!
Tonight we'll be going trick-or-treating in the neighborhood. We might even venture down the street to some of the other neighborhoods if Zander's walking feet don't get too tired. We revealed Zander's costume here. Ainsley will be Tinkerbell. (pics all over instagram!) I still haven't come up with a costume, so I guess I'll just be the mom. Boring. I'll try to do better next year.

Last year, Zander and I were pirates and Ainsley was our parrot. We were a big hit!
I made this!

The Costumes This year:

So it is Friday, and I do have Blogger Love to share.
All The Joys Friday Favorites
Linking up with Meagan at All the Joys

+ Christine at The So-Called Homemaker went all out for meatless Monday this week with Vegitarian Chili. Holy yum, batman this looks delicious. I'm a big fan of chili, but I'm a bigger fan of veggies. Especially veggies that can be hidden and make taste delicious... like chili. This one is going in the recipe book for sure!

+ Cassie from Sage shared some interesting Gluten Free Alternitives. My grandmother has celiac disease and when she was diagnosed there wasn't a lot of information about "gluten free" foods. In fact, there were many years where cakes and breads tasted horrible at her house because they were gluten free. I love seeing posts like Cassie's as a reminder that there's constantly more and more research being done about this sort of thing and there's so many alternatives to the foods you love!

+ Lindsay at Bourbon, Lipstick, & Stilettos won me over again this week with her Pumpkin Overnight Oats. I'm a huge fan of oats, but I've never tried it with pumpkin. Normally for me it's a little milk, a little cinnamon, some apple and sugar - BAM: oats! This looks just positively amazing! Plus it's filling so win-win, right?

+ Kerri from Hey Kerri posted a great tutorial on How to Create a Blog Button W/ a Grab Box. I'm not even going to lie. I had ZERO clue how to make one of these before Kerri posted this. I have been lucky enough to have Amanda help me with my blog design. This is something I definitely need to save for future reference!

There were a lot more, but of course if I posted them ALL you'd have the longest post in the world. Think something like that could get me into Ripley's? Ha. After you're done reading all of these lovely ladies' posts, be sure to head over to Amanda at Knock on Wood for her big announcement today!

Happy Halloween! I hope everyone has a great night. Whether you're trick or treating with the kids or staying in watching movies (Cabin in the Woods or The Great Pumpkin?). Have a great night! Stay safe!
