Not Just "Witch Crafts;" Fun and Easy Ideas for You and Your Family

Welcome back to another installation of Holiday Bliss hosted by HousewifeBliss. I am privileged and thrilled and delighted to be participating with this talented group of bloggers. I must tell you, however, while I love to entertain, decorate, cook, bake and create, I am incredibly lazy. I live for instant gratification. I can't sew. Can barely iron. I've been told I'm like Annie Oakley of the Glue Guns, though! I can make anything seem as though I've spent hours prepping... but I have neither the desire nor the inclination. But, shhhh... don't tell the husband!

So in the spirit of Halloween and my pure laziness I have created a post purely for those Lazy Mummies like me. The following will delight and tickle your and your little one's fancies. The best part about these easy-peasy tricks and treats is that it leaves plenty of time at the end of the day -- or at the beginning or middle -- to pour yourselves a Bloody Mary... or Blood Orange Martini!

So kick back... get crafty... and Cheers!
