Halloween crafts for everyone! A few Halloween bundles you can make into fun decorations!

I love Halloween Decor! And I love crafting! So what does that mean... creating Halloween Decor! My kids and I love to craft together so what's better than making memories with making fun Halloween decorations. 

I made a few bundles to help everyone out for easy to make Halloween Family Crafts! The best part is that with a few go-to accessories, you can work will all of these project! 


These Jack-O-Lanterns pumpkins are great since you can use both sides! Double your crafting fun! Plus this transfer can be used multiple ways so even more ways to craft for Halloween! 

Supplies Needed: 
Transfer: Jack-O-Lanterns
Chalk Pastes: Orange Peel, Black Velvet

How cute are these 6 different Halloween Phrases? So freakin' cute! These surfaces are double sided (again- double the crafting fun!) come with a white side and a tan side.  Fun Fact: You can water down the chalk paste and use it to paint to change the background color. So your options are unlimited! 

Supplies Needed: 
Go To Accessories: Stir Sticks, Fuzzing Cloth, Small Squeegee

When I first saw this transfer, I LOVED it! It has a vintage Halloween feel. I love finding vintage Halloween decorations. My family thinks they are creepy looking, but isn't that the point on Halloween ;) This surface is one of my favorites since it is reusable with a good clean and it is magnetic. 

Supplies Needed: 
Go To Accessories: Stir Sticks, Fuzzing Cloth, Small Squeegee

The best part of all these projects is that you get more than just one use out of them all. Which one would you do with your family? Add some pumpkin spice cookies and some apple cider along with these projects and you've got a night full of memories!

My meal plan for the week - 8/31/20 - Plus a Free Printable Meal Planner!

So I haven't started to plan out my meal for the week to try and save us some money and the stress of what I am going to make each night. I have always done my grocery shopping at Safeway and Costco but since the pandemic started, I have started to look at other options. With 3 kids, its been hard to grocery shop. I haven't taken them out to the store so I have been doing a lot of grocery orders, pick ups and deliveries. 

Since starting this, I have saved the stress and a ton of money! I now so most of my grocery pick ups from Walmart. Im pretty good with knowing good prices for groceries and I am amazed at the savings that I have found at Walmart. Plus, Im not walking around and browsing the store, putting items in the cart that we don't need. 

I try to only grocery shop once a week, and when ever I went to Safeway my weekly total was at least $250! Thats a lot of money. Plus if we needed to make a Costco trip, that was even more. I swear you can't get out of there for less than $100. I knew that I needed to change our spending habits. I have been pretty good with our meal planning and prepping, so I wanted to share it with you! 

First steps for me is to figure out what meals we want. I grab a cup of coffee and start planning! Since I'm on Keto and the rest of my family is not, I have to make sure they get carbs. Pasta and rice are an easy carb to add to any meal, so they have a lot of that. 


This week we are having for dinner:

Monday: Garlic Parmesan Chicken with Pasta & Zucchini

Tuesday: Beef Enchilada Casserole with Mexican Rice & Corn

Wednesday: Beef Stew with French Bread

Thursday: Left Overs

Friday: Kids Pick

Saturday: Meatballs with Carrots and Rice

Sunday: Hamburgers with Fries and Corn on the Cob

After making my list, now it's time to see what I need at the store. Some things I stock up on, so I don't always need to buy everything we need. Keeping a good stock of non perishables is so important just incase something happens. I like to be prepared always! 

Here is my grocery list: 

I do a grocery pick up either Saturday or Sunday, whatever is available. The best part about this is that I don't have to get out of the car! I drive up and they bring it out to my car. They confirm with me and then open up the back of my suburban and load it all in there. That's it! 

Once I get home, I just make sure I have everything. I think only once, I was missing something. On the Walmart app, I start a return and they refund me right away. Also, If you don't like the quality of the item, they refund you as well. And if they have to substitute an item, you get charged the amount of the item you pick, unless its cheaper. I do notice that normally if I get a substituted item, the item that they used a better item. That works for me. 

Here is what I ordered this week. 

 


Want to know how much I paid for all these groceries?!?

$131. 95! 

That's it! I don't remember that last time I got this many groceries for that much! Now I some weeks, I grab a tri-tip from Costco or Safeway since my husband can be picky, but I stick to my list of what I need! 

Ive been doing this for about 5 weeks, and if I'm saving between $100-$150, that's a ton of money saved! Plus all these meal are large so I have a lunch to take to work the next day. That is saving me money too. Plus being on Keto, my food choices at work are very limited so during the week, I'm not spending that much money.  Woo hoo! I love saving money! Give me more for craft stuff! Haha... 

To keep me on track, I made a cute printable that I can print up blank or type in. It's great to put on the fridge to remind me of what the dinner plans are.

Step by Step - Measure Stir Bake

 What's baking in your oven today? Here's the perfect accent in your kitchen, complete with icing on the cake!

Since staring Keto again, I am constantly in the kitchen trying out new recipes and making some old ones that I know that I love! I love finding new recipes to try. When cooking for my family, I have to remember to add in carbs since the are not on the Keto diet. 

What is your families favorite meal? My family loves Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and salad with a side of garlic bread. 

Cook with your kids, get that kitchen messy. That's what your kids will remember. All those yummy cookies that you made together. There will always be something to clean. Take the time to create the memories with them while they are young. 

Want to make this? I'll show you how! 


Supplies
-A Small Cutting board - Try Hobby Lobby or Marshalls
-Fuzzing Cloth (12" x 18")


**Best part about these supplies is that one you buy them, you can use them over and over with other projects! 

Step 1
Get everything you need into your work area. Open up and stir your pastes so they are ready to go. 
Step 2
Fuzz your transfer. Make sure you fuzz it well, especially if it's a new transfer. 

Step 3
Lay your transfer down in the position you would like it on the surface of choice.


Step 4
Use the Black Velvet Paste and cover all the words. 

Step 5
Remove the transfer and either place in water bath or clean immediately. Once clean let dry. Once dry, please backer back on the sticky side of the transfer.
