Sorry that we haven’t been around in a few days. We had a fun and busy Halloween and finally got our items shipped down to South Florida for our first Holiday Show.

Last week we announced our final Fabulously Frugal Fall Fashion Challenge: The Anything Goes Challenge.

Today we are featuring the one reader who participated in EVERY SINGLE CHALLENGE!

AnhKay, rocked out every challenge using items from her closet and her Anything Goes looks were our FAVORITES!! You can read more about AnhKay’s fantastic fashion sense on Glass Slippers on a Budget and You Know You Want It!

Here’s a little peek into Yvette’s first Halloween in Richmond:

Here are my kiddos showing off the trick or treat sacks I made them. Woot! My son definitely got into the Dracula spirit with his serious expression!

Here is my candy corn witch showing off Mommy’s first attempt at making a costume. Pretty cute, if I do say so myself!

How was your Halloween? Tell us in the comments!

As much as I love my children, I don’t love their mess everywhere. I have struggled with allowing all things child into my home. I like to keep my house a certain way and the piles of Matchbox cars and mounds of dinosaurs don’t fit into my idea of a cute little home.But I am letting go…and I am learning to blend.

Finding ways to bring their things into common areas – and not just their room – makes me happy and them proud. It saddens me that I have been so uptight about my house in the past.

I let them put their mini pumpkin on my vintage scale, and let them weigh cars on it too.Giving in to the things that use to make me crack has freed up our home (and my mind) to be a more creative and fun place.
