Small Style: Every Boy Wants To Be A Superhero

Small Style: Every Boy Wants To Be A Superhero Sophistishe mommy blog

So Greg and I picked out Halloween costumes for Jayden in September; a Chicago Bears football costume, and a pirate costume. Since I’m usually in charge of his costumes, I let Greg take over. He ordered the Chicago Bears costume from an online retailer that shall remain nameless. Days and days would go by with no shipping notification or worse… that the costume was out of stock. It took him logging in and checking his order to find that the costume was out of stock. So. I go over to another online retailer that shall remain nameless and order the [...]

Gluten-free Vanilla Nutmeg Cupcakes for Halloween and Fall

Gluten free Vanilla Nutmeg Cupcakes for Halloween and Fall  Sophistishe mommy blog

A closeup of my creative confections. Earlier this month, Wilton sent me a big ol’ box of goodies to create some treats for Halloween and Fall. I received supplies to make cookies and cupcakes and well, the cookies were a #fail and I tried twice! Ah the joys of baking gluten-free. The cookies themselves were some of the chewiest and yummiest cookies EVAR, but I couldn’t get them to hold their shapes. These are supposed to be pumpkins, candy corn, Frankenstein heads, and cats.

I’m a sucker for autumn decor.

Im a sucker for autumn decor. Sophistishe mommy blog

My Halloween finds under $32 I’m a sucker for autumn decor, as if you couldn’t tell. So as soon as Walmart put out their selection, I grabbed some things before I even knew I’d have the opportunity to write a sponsored post about it. So without further ado, let’s take a tour shall we? In true Sheena fashion, the fridge is decorated with Halloween themed window clings. The mini scare crows were planted with the cilantro (pictured), but then I moved them to my herb box (not pictured). The jack-o-lantern rests on the bench in our entryway. I stuck one [...]

DIY LEGO Block Costume!

LEGO blocks were one of my absolute favorite toys to play with as a child. It’s hard to believe the company has been around 30 whole years! Since Halloween is around the corner, I decided to see if any stores were selling any LEGO costumes. To my surprise, the results were slim. I did find…
