Halloween Happenings

There is something about having littles around the house that makes decorating for the holidays especially exciting. Halloween is no exception. I try not to go crazy with decorations as storing said decorations can prove challenging in our city home but I wanted to share some of my tips and favorite Halloween decor.

Kate's Tips

  • I wait until October 1st to start decorating
  • I select items for our front door/stoop area that can easily transition into November
  • I include the kids in the task of decorating (I mean it's an activity, right?)
  • I try to introduce one new decoration each year
  • I love to have coordinating Halloween costumes for the kids but my eldest is quite opinionated so this year I've opted for two costumes:
    • One coordinating sibling costume (it's all about the photo-op)
    • One costume that each child will wear Trick-or-Treating

Halloween Decor from Left to Right:

  1. Potted Yellow Mums 2. Pumpkin Door Hanger 3. Black Crows perched on Pumpkins 4. Novelty Pumpkins a la Trader Joe's 5.  Posable Black Bats 6. Black Spiders crawling down the fireplace          7. Trick or Treat Banner (similar styles found at Target) 8. My favorite Schleich Animals adorned with Meri Meri Witch Hats
