You've Been Booed {2013} free printable

      , , , ,      No comments   

Last year, I created a free printable for the fun neighbor "You've Been Booed" tradition. I didn't actually deliver them to anyone, though! I even made choco covered halloween Oreos and had them all in their bags with signs ready to go -- but kept forgetting to take them and then HALLOWEEN CAME AND WENT with my bags sitting by my front door. SAD!!! I couldn't be lame two years in a row, so I decided to actually deliver the treats this time! I wanted to make a new printable, just to start a tradition of making a new one every year. This time, I tried to play off the popular CHALKBOARD theme I'm seeing all over Pinterest. I made a door hanger BOO sign as an alternative to a sign you put up in your window. It was fun coming up with a design. I'm still so new at this! But I have fun, make mistakes, never think it's cute enough, change it a million times, then just STOP at some random point and print it out, because I'm tired of editing it! I also made up my own Candy Corn Cocoa mix {blog post coming soon!}.


Here are your download links. Happy Halloween!

The Walking Dead season 4 premiere countdown

      , , , , , ,      No comments   

I expect me counting the days until the premiere of the 4th season of The Walking Dead won’t come as a surprise. I already feel like October 13 can’t get here soon enough - 16 episodes of terror and creepiness are in store for us this season and I’m ready for them all.

You have to admit a show is good if despite all the creative shake-ups and behind-the-scenes reorganization it's still going strong - season 4 will be run by Scott Gimple, the third show runner in "The Walking Dead" history, after the original show runner Frank Darabont and his successor, Glen Mazzara, have both quit because of creative differences.

The Walking Dead has survived all the changes while making rating history. Last season's  premiere had a massive 12 million views. The premiere of season 4 is expected to have an even bigger viewership.


And yes, sometimes you want to scream at the TV because you can’t believe the nonsense happening but ultimately, at the end of each episode, all you want to do is see another one and that's what makes it a great TV show.

This season I’m really excited that Michelle MacLaren will return to direct the last episode, she directed some of the episodes from season one and two and those, especially in season one, were the best in my opinion. One of the reasons I liked season one so much was the fact that the apocalyptic scenario was much more real and terrifying because the group was outside and on the run. 

The last season left me wanting more zombie attacks! I feel like they rested too much on the human drama and kind of forgot about the zombies outside. And even though it was entertaining, I can get that kind of thrills from every other thriller/drama/horror movie out there. Thankfully the rumor around town is this season they are going back to basics and this time they will lean heavily towards zombie threats. Doesn’t that sound  just wonderful?


Also comic book co-creator Robert Kirkman is set to write at least two episodes of the season. I bet those will be epic, I mean who else better to do that then one of the original writers?
This season will bring more character into play which is always good considering people tend to die in a zombie apocalypse and Rick’s group is getting smaller every passing day. 

So you know it now - October 13 I will be braless in my pajamas, in my bed with an unhealthy amount of junk food nearby and proceeding to annoy my sister with my girlish screams of terror. 

 If you don't get why this is hilarious, start watching and you'll be in on the joke in no time! :))))

  Anyone as excited as me and counting the days?

Make the Most of Conference ~free printable~

      , , , , , , , ,      No comments   

You may know this weekend is General Conference for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! If not, you can go HERE {www.lds.org} to find out more about this fantastic weekend, where people all over the world get together at the conference center, stake centers, ward buildings, and their homes to listen to a prophet's voice. It truly is a weekend just meant to inspire, to uplift, to lighten the load, and to give hope! Well, it's not just for adults -- it's for kids, too. And as hard of a time as I have sitting still during conference (yes, I admit to being a phone troll during a talk or two), it is even harder to get kids to get excited and interested in remembering conference weekend.  My husband and I teach a youth Sunday School class for our church, the kids are ages 12-14. I wanted them to remember conference weekend! So I found this cute handout reminding the kids to Make the Most of conference. I found the phrasing online, but created my own, simple version of the handout in cute fall colors. I attached it to packets of M&M's, used some cute ocean blue ribbon to tie it together, and delivered it to our Sunday School kids the day before conference -- to remind them to watch! I hope this small gesture helped them tune in to a talk or two -- because you never know when you are going to hear something that just might lift your spirits or make your day a little easier.


As always, here are your links to download!!!!!




Wouldn't the M&M's be perfect to then use for Conference Bingo?!?!

Calvin reviews Yoshimatsu Healthy Japanese Eatery.

What do you think you'd like to order?

"Nothing. I want dessert for dinner. There's everything yucky on this menu... I want this." (points to the Cinnamon Egg Roll Ice Cream)

Upon receiving our food, the only thing he wanted to taste was the little fish eggs on top of our sushi. He wouldn't touch his teriyaki chicken.

"These little balls are kinda squishy and wet and pop in my mouth."

Will you taste the edamame? (He tentatively puts one in his mouth.)

"This bean tastes gross. I want to get rid of it."

What are you doing now?

"Just doing little peas jumping on the bed."

If you had to choose one part of your bento box that was your favorite, what would you choose?

"Nothing. I don't like salad. I don't like that kind of rice. I only like rice with garlic salt on it."

Overall, what do you think of this restaurant?

"Nothing."

Would you come here again?

"Yeah. And that time can we have dessert?"

When you throw a HALLOWEEN party, you don't want to have your typical party foods. It wouldn't be a Halloween party without those unique, cleverly named, seasonal foods and drinks. But even if you serve basic foods, you can still give it a twist with a clever, spooky name, such as "Witches Brew" or "Goblin Guts."

This list will provide you with ideas for inspiration to spark your creativity on what foods, desserts, snacks, and drinks you will want to serve your party guests. Make it a great Halloween, and make your party the one to remember... If these ideas aren't enough, go to Pinterest.com for more ideas.

I will post a combination of Halloween-centered foods and drinks that will make your party memorable and fun. I will also post general, seasonal (Fall) foods and drinks that everyone will love to munch on.
