Trick or Treat!

May we introduce you to Miss Harper, the flamingo.
  
We had the absolute best time tonight at a trick-or-treat event at our church, where Harper got to dress up, ooh-and-ahh at all the fun costumes & decorations, and best of all, fill up her little pumpkin bucket with goodies!
Let’s talk about the costume. I really wanted to make her costume myself, but not only are there not enough hours in the day but I also can’t sew. I had been thinking about a flamingo for weeks but wasn’t sure how I’d pull it off. I ended up finding this flamingo costume at the Pottery Barn Kids Outlet (it was part of their Halloween collection from last year) on sale for only $12.
I liked it, but thought it needed a little sprucing up! 😉
 
So I used gold glitter puffy paint for the beak (the orange & yellow reminded me of a tucan), added some pink tulle in between the felt layers & cut up a pink boa for a little feathery flair! A hot glue gun was my weapon of choice.
 

The weather was absolutely beautiful & she actually loved her costume. She even let me paint her nails pink! She kept spinning in circles & barking like a dog because that’s her favorite animal sound. Ever met a pink bird that says “arf, arf?!” 🙂

Plus, you know I got a little extra excited about Harper’s costume matching her stroller.
 We walked over to the church where we were greeted with lots of fun candy booths, festive music & tons of cuties in their costume. Harper also discovered her love for mini Tootsie Pops!
My heart is so full, I could not stop smiling listening to her say trick-or treat “chicky-chee!” to everyone. There is nothing like seeing holidays through a child’s eyes! I live for nights like this.

 Harper loved all the festivities & especially loved counting her loot on the walk home! 
And, as exciting as Halloween week already is, we have some more exciting news to share with you!  4moms is hosting a Halloween Photo Contest where one lucky winner will get to light up the night with a 4moms Origami Stroller! All you have to do is submit a photo of your babe (or bump!) dressed up for Halloween on their Facebook page! 🙂 
Good Luck & HAPPY HALLOWEEN WEEK!!!!
This post was in partnership with 4moms, however all opinions are my own.

Easter 2023 🐰 Would like to point out that I di Easter 2023 🐰 Would like to point out that I didn’t find them any cute matching pajamas this year but they took it upon themselves to find some in their closets & dressed accordingly. They also surprised US with an Easter egg hunt around the house with recycled Easter eggs filled with hand written notes and coupons to cash in for hugs, compliments, etc. How did we get here?! The girls could hardly sleep Saturday night bursting with excitement to host our friends & neighbors for donuts in the morning, they were up before the sun ready to start setting the tables & rolling dough. For everyone reading this with babies & toddlers, just know that all of those sweet traditions you are creating will make a home in their hearts, and one day they’ll be the ones making the magic for you. 🤍🤍🤍
