Oogie Boogie Bash T-shirt Ideas

I was one of the gazillion Disney fans in July anxiously waiting online to buy the 

Oogie Boogie Bash event tickets! 

After a long 8 hours we snagged our tickets!! 

Now we are counting down the days until we are skipping around California Adventure next month!

My kids had no hesitations when selecting their costumes for this event.

I am a totally different story lol 

I took to Etsy right away and found hundreds of awesome Disney inspired gear to wear!

I have finally narrowed down my choices to these six great t-shirt options...

If your loving these cute shirts you can find them following the links below:

Friends Tee / Mickey is my Boo Tee / Just here for the treats Tee / Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo Tee / Orange Tee / Let's Oogie Boogie Tee

Check back in a couple of weeks to see which t-shirt style was the "chosen one"!

Simple and Chic Halloween Style

Our family loves and appreciates each holiday!

Halloween is a holiday I've loved since I was a baby thanks to my grandpa the ultimate holiday lover!

When it comes to decorating our home I don't over do the decorations.

I like to keep it simple and chic!

The majority of the decor is from Target dollars spot over the years!

I hope you enjoy my take on Halloween home decor.

When I saw these black, grey and white pumpkins I knew exactly where they could go!

The floating shelf in the entrance of our home is where we display our wedding canvas! 

So these pumpkins just scream elegant to me so it compliments the space so well.

The second floating shelf in our living room is rather high up so the kids can't access it!

So I placed the items that would easily fall over if you tap them up here to avoid any accidents.

The center "P" wooden monogram I purchased from Michael's unfinished about three years ago for less than 50 cents! 

It is almost impossible to photograph this area with out tv glare!

The candle sticks lit up at night is the prettiest sight.

Family Costumes

Halloween is just a few days away and I am taking a look back at my favorite Family Costumes we have worn throughout the years.

It has always been so fun putting together our family costumes and I am a bit sad this year we aren't doing a family costume but have no fear I'll convince everyone next year!

In 2012 we attended our first Mickey's Halloween Party and we dressed up like Wendy, John and Nana! These costumes were so easy to put together I literally got everything accounted for in two days!

In 2015 we dressed up like Max, Alison, Dani and Thackery Binx from Hocus Pocus!

My oldest picked these costumes for us and it was by far my favorite! 

Cailee's Dani costume took me some time to put together but it was so worth it!

Find the tutorial for the Dani costume here! 

I promise it is easy just a little time consuming!

In 2016 Cailee wanted to dress up as The Chipettes from Alvin and the Chipmunks!

She didn't want just any chipette costume she wanted the outfits from the "single ladies" number they did in the movie. 

Putting together this costume was way more difficult for me because I had to sew the top wraps we wore. I had to research how to make these in the easiest way possible. I got it done and was so proud of the results and my little one was over the moon! Well worth the hours of frustration.

This year my girls made costumes easy for me Charlotte is dressing up as Tinkerbell and Cailee is dressing up as rainbow dash!
What should we dress up next year as?!

hocus pocus family costume

It is officially my favorite time of year!

Halloween is just around the corner and we are trying to finalize costumes over here!

While I am avoiding making the hubbies costume, I will relish in memories of past Halloween costumes.

Two years ago we dressed up as Max, Thackery Binx, Dani, and Allison from Hocus Pocus.

It was by far my favorite costumes ever!

I fell in love with Hocus Pocus back in 1993 when I was just 5 years old and every year after that it has still remained my favorite movie of all time. 

A few fun facts:

1. For a very long time I watched Hocus Pocus every single morning as I got ready for school.

2. My first copy of the movie was an old vhs tape I used to record it off the tv. So when I watched the movie it also included commercials haha!

3. I am pretty sure that vhs I used may have been my older sisters 8th grade graduation video tape. Sorry sissy!

4. I am quite proud to say that both my girls are very fond of this beloved movie of mine and my oldest is the one who picked our costumes that year.

The best part of our costumes was  how easy they were to pull off (with the exception of Dani of course)!

For Max:

Navy or Grey cap with an upside down backwards "G" (I used this iron on)

Blue t-shirt 

Jeans

If its not boiling hot a Quilted Bomber jacket like this or this

For Thackery Binx:

Black Cat ears

Black tail (optional)

Black shirt or onesie

Black leggings or tights 

For Allison:

White or Cream Shirt

Khaki or Brown Cardigan like this or this

Jeans

Booties like this or this

I couldn't be more excited to share my super easy diy Dani costume with you all this week!
