With the wind howling outside our tiny office in Newburgh  today it’s hard not to feel excited that Halloween is right around the corner. This holiday is one of my favorites because you get to be a kid all over again. I remember when I was in the 3rd grade I wanted a unique costume, so I decided to make my own. I went to my school library, got out a book on crafts, and chose to make my very own ladybug costume. That baby was beautiful and the best part was I made it by myself.

This leads me to the point of this nostalgic blog, today I have a much harder time coming up with costume ideas. Working full-time doesn’t leave me a lot of time to make the perfect costume, but it can be done.  How do all you parent readers come up with your costume ideas? Is it off to Party City? Or do you bite the creative bullet and make your own costume? I’m looking forward to hearing your ideas!
