My Candy Corn Wreath and Porch Ideas...

Candy corns line the grocery stores this time of year.  And for some (ok...most) they are a true temptation.  So you can imagine the struggle I had when I decided to make this and not eat all the candy corns before I got them glued onto the Styrofoam wreath.  I did really good, it was my kids and husband who couldn't keep their hands off them :) btw I saw this adorable wreath idea last year in (I believe) a Woman's Day magazine!

 It was really fun to make and super easy.  I bought one of the white Styrofoam wreaths from Roberts.  Then I spray painted it with brown spray paint.  Then my kids and I started gluing the candy corns on in the pattern that you see in the photo above.  This was super easy and way fun to do with kids.  When we were done gluing I sprayed it really good with a clear glossy top coat. I found a brown ribbon in my ribbon stash and attached it. Here it is on my door!

 And the rest of my porch...

  

Time for the summer flowers to RIP

 

My neighbors made this adorable ghost out of a Mason Jar and gave it to us.

Halloween is almost here and my kids are counting down the days! We are enjoying this time of year and bracing ourselves for the snow which is soon to come. Time to get out the winter bin and see what winter clothes my kids have grown out of :)

thinkThin GIVEAWAY!

 

 I was in a hurry this morning.  I taught a PUMP class and had to leave at 8:50, I also ran home from that class, another 3.5 miles workout.  I had to have all my kids ready to go and breakfast in them before I could leave for class.  Some mornings are crazy and when they are I eat one of these natural, satisfying, high protein bars (because I NEVER skip breakfast!)


Here's why I think they are aaaaamazing:
(I'm getting this from the label)
Total Fat 9g
Sugars  0g
Protein 20g
Total calories 230
Calcium 6%
Iron 6%
GLUTEN FREE
Best of all, they curb my hunger! In fact it goes away, and I have the energy I need until the next meal :)


SO, I'm giving away, not 1 bar, but a whole box (10 bars) because I know that you will love these as much as I do.  And very rarely a product comes along that actually lives up to it's name! (thinkTHIN!)
