The possibilities for Halloween-themed cupcakes are endless. The creative junkies out there are making fingers, ghosts, and mummy dogs but not all of us are so creative or have the time.

Truett has been waiting for his Halloween costume for weeks now. When I first asked him what he wanted to be, he immediately said Captain America and has never changed his mind.

Every year I pull out all our Halloween decorations like my favorite spider, and create a Halloween home. We try to keep the scariness to a minimum just because Truett is still young but I've learned with raising 3 boys that if you don't teach them it's scary, then they won't think it's scary. I try to buy at least 3 things every year to add to … [Read more...]
