Two witches, a butterfly, and a dabbin’ penguin (Penguin costume from Oriental Trading) As I climbed to the top of the playroom closet the other day I noticed that aside from Christmas, Halloween comes in second place when it comes to the amount of decor I have.

I wanted to take something simple and make it beautiful, so after church we headed to a nearby historical library where I set up a table for a family style dinner. The library itself is beautiful, so I chose very neutral

Each year we usually host some kind of Halloween event- whether it’s a fun playdate for the kids or an adult costume party. So, we like to decorate the house with some spooky decor that we’ve collected over the years. We usually put some decorations to have up for the month of October
We recently had the chance to decorate the table for a Baby Sprinkle. Spinkles are more low key gatherings with friends and family to sprinkle the mom to be or recent mommy with gifts for the baby. Since this was in a family member’s living room verses a restaurant or hall, we kept the decor simple but sweet. Rather than a in your face theme, we just stuck with pink and

Each girl enjoyed manicures, a hot cocoa bar, and went home with their very own Harper Doll- who happens to be from the Bronx!
