I don't know about you, but Halloween is a big deal in our home. My oldest daughter's birthday just so happens to be on the same day! Every year, it has become this unspoken tradition that I DIY a costume for her and although the process can be daunting at times, it's become one of those things that I honestly enjoy from start to finish. Especially when we can repurpose something we already have at home. Hence the blog post!
