I take any chance I get to do crazy things to my kids’ hair. I think it is so fun! That is why we are huge fans of crazy hair day at our house! Last year, we shared our Poop Emoji Crazy Hair Day Hairstyle and you all seemed to LOVE it. It is still one of my favorites! This year, we wanted to try creating one of my daughter’s favorite things… a cactus! This cactus crazy hair day hairstyle turned out so cute! It really isn’t hard to recreate either.

Acanthamoeba: My Eye Eating Parasite

October 12, 2019 By McKenzie Leave a Comment

On September 5, 2018 I wore contacts for the last time. What I thought was just a little eye irritation ended up being a real life nightmare. I didn’t know that what I was actually happening in my eye was an eye eating parasite called, Acanthamoeba Keratitis and Herpes virus. While it is rare, I have heard from way too many people who are suffering from this horrible parasite to believe that reports of it being 2 in a million are correct anymore.

What I thought would be a quick break from my contacts, ended up being a nightmare that lasted for 7 month fight to keep my eye from permanent blindness. It was painful, scary, and I don’t wish it on anyone. That’s why I have decided to share my story. Like every part of my story. I want to be a warning flag for anyone who might read this and hasn’t ever experienced the Acanthamoeba parasite. Take care of your eyes. You don’t know what you have until it is almost taken from you entirely. [Read more…]

Amazing Family Halloween Costumes

October 9, 2019 By McKenzie Leave a Comment

I grew up going to a church Halloween party that was always a highlight of the season. Everyone got into the Halloween spirit, but one family would steal the show every year with their themed costumes. I knew that when I had a family of my own, I wanted to have a family theme for as long as my kids would participate! As soon as I became a mom, those dreams became a reality. I LOVE family Halloween costumes!

I just love to see what families choose to be together for Halloween. You can definitely tell when the kids have a say and when the choice was mostly made by the parents. No matter who chooses, I love any family who will dress up together! I hope you get some family Halloween costume inspiration! [Read more…]

Disneyland Treats Bag

With the big reveal of our Disney treats Halloween costumes, I couldn’t let my little Dole Whip and Mickey Ice Cream Bar go trick or treating without an epic trick or treat bag! This Disneyland treats bag will be the perfect way to stay with our theme and have plenty of room for all of their Halloween treats!

These bags were so fun and easy to make! To create these bags, you need… [Read more…]

Spiderweb Pumpkins with Vinyl

October 1, 2019 By McKenzie Leave a Comment

I think I have made it painfully obvious that I am a huge Halloween fan. I love it! A little thing you probably didn’t know is that when I decorate for Halloween, I refuse to use anything with spiders. I hate spiders so much that I refuse to decorate with them. But I made somewhat of an exception to this rule when I visualized a pumpkin covered in beautiful colored spiderwebs. I made it a reality and I actually really love how they turned out. These spiderweb pumpkins are just made with vinyl, so they are something that anyone could recreate.

I loved the idea of making one with gorgeous rose gold tones and having another one with black, white, and different shades of gray. They both turned out beautifully. I want to make more! To make these spiderweb pumpkins, I used… [Read more…]

Disney Food Family Costume: Disney Treats Costumes

September 27, 2019 By McKenzie Leave a Comment

This week has been so fun! I have finally been able to reveal all of our Disney Treats costumes! Not everyone would choose a Disney food family costume theme but I am grateful that my family did. They were all really great sports about our theme this year and were genuinely excited about it. We love Disneyland food and dressing up as our favorite Disney treats seemed like the perfect fit!

The best part of all of these Disney Treats family costumes is that they are all no sew costumes. I am not a fan of sewing, so I avoid it at all costs. Our Disney food family costumes include a Mickey Ice Cream Bar costume, Dole Whip costume, Mickey Waffle costume, and a Disneyland churro costume! [Read more…]

No Sew Churro Costume: Disney Treats Costume

September 26, 2019 By McKenzie Leave a Comment

No Disney treats themed costumes would be complete without the infamous Disney churro! This churro costume was a lot of fun to make. This costume was by far the most planning that has had to go into a costume that I have made but it was worth it! It turned out exactly like I had planned. It didn’t require any major technical skills, just random supplies to come together to create this sugary goodness that is a Disneyland churro!

The great thing about this costume too is that unlike a few other renditions out there on the internet, this costume is easy to wear and can easily be removed, where it is made up of three major pieces. To create this churro costume, you need… [Read more…]

No Sew Mickey Waffle Costume: Disney Treats Costume

September 25, 2019 By McKenzie Leave a Comment

My absolute favorite food at Disneyland are Mickey waffles! I have to plan a character dining experience at the Plaza Inn each time we visit, just so I can get my hands on more of those delicious waffles. They are the greatest! I even have a Mickey waffle ornament and now a shirt with Mickey waffles on it. The obsession continues as I now have a Mickey Waffle costume I get to wear this Halloween!

I love my Mickey waffle costume so much! It is the best because I can wear whatever I want under the costume and easily be able to slip the costume on and off as I go to Halloween functions. I think the best part about this Mickey waffle costume is that it doesn’t require any sewing! To make this costume, I used… [Read more…]

There aren’t many Disney treats as iconic as the infamous Disneyland Dole whip. It is absolutely one of my favorite treats at Disneyland! When we were deciding which Disney treats costumes to include in our family costume, we absolutely knew that a Dole Whip costume needed to be included.

Every detail of this Dole Whip costume is spot on. From the cup to the spoon in the hair! The best part of this costume is that it didn’t require any sewing! Here are the materials I used to create this Dole Whip Costume… [Read more…]

No Sew Mickey Ice Cream Bar Costume: Disneyland Treats Costume

Walking right down the middle of Main Street USA with this Mickey Ice Cream Bar costume. No sewing required and made with inexpensive materials, this costume is as sweet as the real thing! My 2 year old loves “Mickey pockles” aka Mickey popsicles, so when we chose our Disneyland food Halloween costume theme this year, I knew she needed to be our Mickey Ice Cream Bar!

She absolutely loves her Mickey popsicle costume and it was really easy to make! My sewing machine and I don’t get along, so none of my Halloween costumes ever require them. They are all no sew costumes! The Mickey Ice Cream Bar costume was the easiest of all of our family costumes this year. Here is what I used to create it… [Read more…]
