Full moons bring a creepy edge to any night. This year Halloween happens to fall on the night of a full moon! Along with werewolves (jk), the full moon also brings in loads of myths and beliefs. In honor of the Halloween being on the full moon, we're sharing the top three myths related to the full moon.

This past weekend, we celebrated my son's 4th birthday. At this point in his life, the only things he cares about is dinosaurs and Disney Cars. Since we already did a dinosaur-themed party last year, I decided to go with a Disney Cars party for this birthday. Just like for my daughter's unicorn-themed 6th birthday party, this birthday would also be celebrated at home with no visitors. However, this was not going to stop me from making it magical while still on a budget. Here are all my Disney Cars party ideas.

Wonder Woman is one of the most recognizable superheroes out there. From her classic red white and blue suit to her updated, armor like new suits, it's safe to say her look is iconic! She's appeared on screen in live-action films and TV shows multiple times since the 60's. With so many decades and appearances, her costume is bound to change a little. We've created a handy infographic of Wonder Woman's live-action costumes through the years!

I've been seeing a few DIY converting Transformers Bumblebee costumes around the internet for a while now. Recently my son has been obsessed with Bumblebee from Transformers so I decided to attempt to make a costume for him. I didn't tell him I was going to make it because I didn't want to get his hopes up and end up failing miserably. I'm happy to report that my attempt ended up pretty good. This blog post if mostly just to show off my DIY converting Transformers Bumblebee costume. I did it on the fly and eyeballed everything so there are no measurements. So this is going to be less of a tutorial and more of a guide if you want to make a DIY converting Transformers Bumblebee costume of your own.

Halloween is, hands down, my favorite holiday. I love the costumes, I love when the weather starts to change, and I absolutely love the decorations. 2020 has been a wild ride of a year so far and has forced many of us to get creative with how we can continue to do social activities while still practicing social distancing. Celebrating holidays such as Halloween this year will be no different. I did some brain storming for family friendly ideas to stay spooky this Halloween, hopefully one of my ideas sparks some creativity for you.

Last week, I wrote a blog listing all my favorite book recommendations for kids to read during Halloween season. This week, I'm giving you all my scary book recommendations for adult Halloween books! Some of these are going to be Halloween-y or Halloween-themed, but some are also just suspenseful/scary to get you into the spooky spirit.

This past Saturday, DC held their first ever DC Fandome event. DC Fandome was a 24 hour virtual event full of panels, sneak peeks, and big announcements similar to Comic Con! We've rounded up some of the biggest announcements from Saturday's event.

It's never a bad idea to encourage your child to read. Now that Halloween is coming up, why not get them into the spirit by picking out some Halloween books to get them excited about reading? Here are a few books that will be perfect for getting your little one in the Halloween spirit!

I am now on my third week of social distancing. My kids are now getting used to seeing me everyday and don't seem as excited anymore that I'm not going off to work in the mornings. My daughter is starting to tell me she misses her friends and her teacher. It's the perfect time to think of an activity that's not just questions to ask your kids. We need something more physical and time consuming. It's time for a Quarantined Costume Fashion Show

San Diego Comic Con is always the biggest pop culture event of the year, but when the 2020 show was cancelled due to COVID-19, everyone wondered what this year would bring. Luckily, Comic Con's virtual event still brought all the nerd news to everyone from the safety of their own homes and FOR FREE! We've rounded up some of the top news from this weekend's virtual event. Here's our 2020 comic con at home recap!

When I realized we would be celebrating my daughter's birthday without family and friends, I still wanted to make sure to give my daughter a fun party. I didn't want her to feel like she was lacking for anything even though she wouldn't be able to celebrate with her friends and her extended family as she normally would. However, being that we would just be celebrating at home with just me, my husband, and my son, I also didn't want to spend too much money on the party. So I had to come with a way to make her party look as grand as possible without breaking the bank. So here's my ideas for a low budget quarantined birthday party.

I love dressing up for Halloween and going all out with my costume. When I decided I wanted to dress up as the Bride of Frankenstein this year, I wasn't sure how I would do her hair. I could style my own hair like her, but it would take colored hair spray because my hair is currently half green. Another option would be to buy a wig but the costume wigs don't look real enough. I usually go for realistic wigs and a realistic Bride wig can cost $300+! That's definitely way over my budget! So I set out to figure out how to make one of my own. Here's how I did a DIY Bride of Frankenstein wig.
