Easy DIY Abby Cadabby Costume

September 16, 2019 By Holly 1 Comment Filed Under: Crafting, Design/Create, Halloween, Kids DIY & Crafts, Tutorials

I started working at IJM in the fall right before Halloween, and was delighted to learn that the daycare in the building hosted a yearly Halloween parade, bringing all of the children on a visit around the offices in the building while wearing adorable costumes.

DIY little duck halloween costume

I’m currently working on my daughter’s Abby Cadabby costume and was reminiscing about her costume from last year. Since she was too little to care much about what she dressed up as, I made her a little duck costume, which is one of her many nicknames. I searched for a while trying to find a […]

A few years ago when I was living in California I read somewhere that you could mail someone an easter egg. Just the egg- without a box! I thought this was the funniest thing and loved the idea of someone opening their mailbox and finding an easter egg inside. Since I wasn’t going to be able […]

If you live on the east coast chances are, like me, you have spent the last 3 days hunkered down in your house waiting out winter storm Jonas. Having grown up in Minnesota, I am mystified by people’s reaction to snow here. The little amount of snow (or chance of snow) it takes to shut […]

She insisted on dressing up like Reba McEntire, and thanks to her new love of country music I now know all the words to ‘Consider Me Gone’. Happy Halloween from the Queen of Country Music and her dinosaur sidekick. 🎃🎤🦖
This is your sign to throw a COLOR PARTY🎉. ❤️💛💙💜💚🩷🖤🤍🧡
…but on pretzel day? Well, I like pretzel day 🥨
Our first neighborhood New Year’s Day parade was a success! 🥳 Thank you for the great idea #bobgoff
