I always wanted to be the type of family who dressed up together for Halloween. Once we had our first child, my husband was finally on board with the idea. It is one of the biggest highlights of our year! This year’s Mario Kart costume theme might be my most favorite. However, I do seem to say that every year! If you have been wanting to dress up in a Mario Kart Halloween family costume or dress up as a group, I have everything you need to create this look for yourself!

Making the cars for our Mario Kart Halloween costumes was the most intimidating part of the costumes for me. I put it off until the very last. I thought they were going to be really complicated to make. Thankfully, I was totally wrong! These Mario Kart cars made from boxes were incredibly easy to make and would be perfect for any Mario Kart themed Halloween costume.

We aren’t entirely sure if we will be trick or treating this year or if we will be doing a small party with our family but either way, there will be candy involved. We couldn’t let our Mario Kart Halloween costumes go without trick or treat bags that coordinate. Luckily, these Mario Kart trick or treat bags were easy to whip up and they are the perfect accessories for our theme… weapons!

The world of Mario isn’t complete without a Princess Peach! When we chose Mario Kart Halloween costumes this year, my 3 year old was all on board with having a Princess Peach costume. The best part is that I was able to make her costume without any sewing!

After we decided on our Mario Kart Halloween costume theme as a family, we got to choose our characters. My oldest REALLY wanted to be Rosalina. I love that she wanted to be a character that isn’t as traditional in the Mario world. The Rosalina costume was also fun to make because she wanted to wear her racing suit, instead of her princess gown.

After making Dave dress up as a Disneyland Churro last year, I let him have a year off of total humiliation. Our Mario Kart family Halloween costume theme allowed him to choose from a variety of characters. He chose his favorite character to drive with in the game, King Boo! The King Boo costume ended up being one of the most simple costumes to put together, which is an added bonus!

Halloween will look much different in 2020 but we are still celebrating with the traditions that we can, including our family tradition of having themed Halloween costumes. Early in quarantine, we were one of the lucky families who found a Nintendo Switch in stock. We bought it and quickly were hooked on playing Mario Kart together. It has become a really fun way that our family has bonded this year.
When it came time to decide what we wanted to be for Halloween, the choice seemed pretty clear. We needed to be Mario Kart characters!
The first Mario Kart Halloween costume to be revealed is the Mario costume… “it’s a me!”

Kids love coloring books and coloring pages but sometimes they can get tired of coloring them. If you are like me, you may have a coloring book or two laying around your house that hasn’t even been opened! Rather than throwing away these coloring books, or wishing your kids would actually color in them, you can give them a new way to “color them… with tissue paper! We have done this tissue paper coloring activity at birthday parties, like our Moana birthday party, and holiday classroom parties and it has always been a hit!

Scalp treatments are one of my favorite things to do that really make me feel like I am doing something to treat myself. I first fell in love with them when I went to beauty school. I hadn’t ever even heard of a scalp treatment! Once we all learned how to give them, we were giving each other scalp treatments weekly! Scalp treatments don’t need to be done that often but they feel good enough that you will definitely want them that often!

I wasn’t ever a Jonas Brothers fan until the Happiness Begins album came out. In the height of their original popularity, I was in college and a newlywed. Although I was the same age, I was definitely not their target audience. Once they decided to create their Happiness Begins album, they chose to have a more grown up sound and appeal to a more adult audience. I love the sound they created, with the help of music genius and producer, Ryan Tedder.
The album Happiness Begins is full of songs that make you feel good. Songs that make you want to dance a little and bring joy. With a name like Happiness Begins, they needed to fill that cup and they did it well!
I am normally drawn to darker albums. Many of them have darker album covers as well, so this album cover makeup look was a lot of fun to get me out of my black and white comfort zone!
