Last Christmas Eve we went over to my brother-in-law and sister-in-law’s house to share with them that we were pregnant. Little did we know that the news that our family was expanding was bigger than we thought! We told them we were expecting and I was 6 weeks along and after a few [pregnant] pauses, they stared at each other then revealed that they were 8 weeks along! Since then, we watched our bellies grow together and were excited to know that our children would grow up very close, both in age and distance.

Since our little ones would only be under three months their first Halloween, I suggested an easy DIY couples costume idea to take part in the Halloween tradition without breaking the bank: Dr. Seuss’ Thing 1 and Thing 2 from the Cat in the Hat.

  • Avery Shipping Labels
  • Blue Headband (purchased at Michaels)
  • Satin Fabric (purchased at Hobby Lobby
  • Tulle (purchased at Walmart)
  • Silver Clips (purchased at Walmart)
  • Needle and Thread (not pictured)
  • Decorative Brad (not pictured, mine was from K&Company’s Amy Butler line)
  • Small pieces of felt (not pictured)
  • Candle (not pictured)
  • Scissors

1. To make the headband, first cut concentric squares out of the satin fabric. Cut a slit on the center of each side, as shown.

2. Hold the square fabric near a candle. DO NOT get too close as you will burn or light your fabric on fire! When you get close to the flame, you will see that the heat curls the edges to form petals.

3. Do this for all pieces.

4. Layer each of your pieces on top of one another (I used about 5 pieces per flower). Use a decorative brad or button in the center of the flower. Sew the satin petals together with some round shapes of tulle and attach to a small piece of felt to become more stable.

5. Sew this floral piece onto the silver clip to wear.

Once the flower was complete, we clipped it onto a blue crochet headband. Luckily this pack from Michaels came as a two pack, and with a coupon only cost $1.50 for two! The above photo is my adorable niece showing off the headband.

I printed the “Thing 1” and “Thing 2” designs on an address label sheet and cut to shape. We peeled the sticker and added it onto a red onesie for a complete costume!

    Too cute! I thought the Thing 1 & 2 designs were going to be iron-ons. Stickers are even easier when you need them for just one event — so smart. And I think I recognize that hat from years ago….!!!!

    Oh my goodness, I saw the twins on Blissful and Domestic and just had to come by- they are soooo cute and I love the Suess inspired costumes! I am a fourth generation twin, and fully expect to have twins one day. Hope y’all had a great Halloween!

Can we agree that this year has been like no other Can we agree that this year has been like no other for us parents but especially for our teachers?! Don't wait for the last day of school to say thank you, but find little ways to make their day including a small something #teacherappreciationweek!
.
I collaborated with @hellocutenails to design these cute tags perfect to thank a teacher in your life! They pair well with anything nails or spa related if you want to go that route for a teacher gift in May or the end of the school year. 
.
Those who have been following me for a while know I just discovered @redaspenlove nails this year thanks to Laura, who is one of their brand ambassadors. It''s a little press on nail kit that's perfect to slap on before an event, if you use your hands a lot for video or photo content, or if you just wanna look cute! 
.
As a creator who bites her nails, this little $13 box has given me more confidence out in the resl world and in these squares. I plan to share more with my experience on this nail kit in my stories this week, so leave any questions you have below! 
.
If you're interested in trying them out, reach out to @hellocutenails and tell her Tara of Spotofteadesigns sent you! This isn't a sponsored post and I don't get any commissions off her sales. Just happy to share my experience and contact from one woman to another.

Hey guys! It's been a while since I've done a #fri Hey guys! It's been a while since I've done a #fridayintroductions so here it goes!

I'm Tara. 🙋‍♀️
.
I prefer M&Ms to "fancy" chocolate brands, room temperature water to ice cold, and Gerber daisies to roses. 🌺
.
I love browsing at stores more than buying, am always a sucker for a play on words, and I love me a google doc spreadsheet for just about anything. 🤓
.
According to my hubby who has known me almost half my life, I am not a fan of loud air noises (fans/wind etc), water blasted on high, or closing drawers/cabinets fully. 🙈 
.
I also don't drink coffee or tea (despite my brand name!) and at 39 years old, am currently on the hunt for cute adult pjs vs wearing the old tshirts from high school to bed. 
.
My girls share a birthday 2 years apart (#nehilbirthdaytwins). Yes they love it now because they don't know any different and they pretty much share friends anyway so we just do one party a year! 
.
Thanks for following along with my feed full of crafts, parties, home decor and parenting.

Leave me a comment and let me know where you're from! I'm a Jersey girl, born, raised and raising!

I know many think of it as the twisted backdrops for parties in the 80s, but I've used it in lots of other ways! How do you like the black crepe paper spiderweb I made for this Spiderman party I styled a few years back?

I haven't styled many parties outside mostly becau I haven't styled many parties outside mostly because of the elements in NJ, but I fondly look back at this camping themed one styled at our last house. The green trees in back were the perfect backdrop for this outdoor adventure!

Swipe for some ideas that would be great for a great outdoors themed party or a themed get together at the campground this summer!
