Ever wonder how that seemingly flawless mom pulls off Halloween without breaking a sweat? Don’t take it to heart if you’re the parent who consistently manages to create holiday magic; it’s okay to feel a little left out. While you shine in parenting, the rest of us find solace in playfully ribbing you. Such is life!
For those of us who struggle with crafts and holiday preparations, I’ve got some straightforward advice. If you haven’t yet sorted out your child’s Halloween costume, steer clear of Pinterest. Trust me, it’s a slippery slope that ends with you questioning your abilities and wishing for a magical adoption by some of those talented women online. Instead, hop on over to Amazon and hope that the good costumes haven’t sold out and that they’re eligible for Prime shipping to ensure you’re not in a last-minute scramble. Or, if you’re feeling brave, prepare yourself for the chaos of Party City just days before Halloween.
If you’re tasked with bringing in snacks for the classroom, don’t even think about reaching for that bag of candy corn. Instead, whip up a super simple classroom treat: witches’ hats. Just grab some fudge stripe cookies, flip them over, add a dollop of frosting in the center, and top it with a Hershey’s kiss. Easy peasy! I made those myself, and they look pretty decent without the added buckles made of yellow gummy tape—because, let’s be real, who has the time for that?
So, snag that last-minute Spider-Man costume that’s a size or two too big for your little one, throw together some basic treats, and reward yourself with a handful of fun-size Snickers. Remember, there’s always next year to perfect your Halloween game.
