Sparkling Cranberries

Last week, I saw an awesome tree skirt on pinterest. The thing about pinterest is, most of the pins are actually from other people's blogs, which is pretty awesome because it's like a gateway to the world of the best bloggers. Obviously if you've made it onto pinterest, you've made it (light sarcasm but it's also for real!).

Anyway, from that tree skirt I started following The Johnston's mostly because she looks like a nice girl and she's also pregnant and I tend to follow nice girls, nice girls that are pregnant, or nice girls that are moms. I'll add a list of the sites I follow regularly on the side when I get a chance.

Anyway, while perusing her blog I saw these little babies. And I thought, those look delicious. AND easy!

So the next time I was at the grocery store, I picked up some cranberries since they're in the produce section right now. Alex was all "what are they for" and I was all "I'm going to sugar them up and we're going to eat them" and that's what we did. With some other friends joining in on the fun as well (of eating them, not making them).

They're insanely easy to make. Check out Ashley's blog for not only recipes but pregnancy updates and crafting and basic awesomeness.

Here's a link to her post on the Sparkling Cranberries. Seriously, try them you won't regret it.

Halloweeeen

Saturday night we went to a super fun halloween party at Gretchen and Eric's. We were introduced to these things called 'walking tacos' which were frickin' amazing and perfect for a party (and i will be stealing this idea). Walking tacos are regular taco fixings shoved into a snack size bag of doritos. All you need is a fork! Genius! I should've taken a picture of this!

Anywho, we had a great time! We played some games and chatted and ate yummy food, plus my trick or treating through Gretchen's clothes, it couldn't have been better!

Take a look at the pics!

Hugh Hefner and his bunnies (and JFK in the background, typical?)

If Marilyn Monroe lived, you know she would've had his baby, right?

This would've won best costume if there were such a competition at the party!

The girls! :)

In preparation for the month of October, I thought I'd share some cool things I've seen on Pinterest lately.

Feeling crafty?

Make a wreath out of tulle {pin}
