Smartfood Selects - The Bag I Couldn't Put Down - REVIEW

If there is one snack in this house that is the most wanted than another other it's popcorn. We even have an small version of an old movie theater popcorn machine that is an air popper. Normally we make a lot at once time and then bag it all in small snack bags, adding toppings to everyone's preference. When I heard that SMARTFOOD Selects -  brand new products made with natural good for you ingredients. I about hopped through a hoop of excitement when I got this campaign. I began reading up on the flavors they had released and found out not only did they make popcorn, but also puffed corn and hummus popped chips. All of which had very unique flavor combinations that I've never seen before.

Make Your Halloween Party SPOOK-tacular With These Halloween Cocktails

I have searched Pinterest, Google, and even liquor company's Facebook pages in search of the ultimate collection of ideas for Halloween Cocktails. Now I'm going to share them with you, my followers. These are adult cocktails, so if any one of you are having a Halloween Party this year or go to one and any of these cocktails are being served or you're the one doing the serving please come back and leave a comment on this post as to how awesome or horrible the cocktail recipe was! I say horrible, because sometimes a mix of things "sounds" good on paper, but truth be told once you mix it all together and take a sip you wish you were a zombie and had no taste buds!

Dressing Up My Dog For Halloween!

Do you dress up your pets for Halloween? I know a lot of families do so and take their dogs with them while taking the kids trick-or-treating! I think it is great to include the family pet for Halloween. With all of the costume options our for pets now you can literally coordinate a group costume even including the family dog!! 

I've been dressing up my dogs for years. This year due to Zero having a doggie cold we didn't make it to our dog club's contest. We went for dinner, but left Zero at home because we didn't think it would be fair if she was sick to get the other dogs sick too. Last year Zero won the WLTC Halloween Dog Costume contest with the below costume. She was not happy to have it on as the pumpkin seems to irritate her.

In previous years I've dressed my dogs up as a Princess, Vampire, Witch, and Skunk! I have just as much fun thinking of what to dress the dogs up as as I do what should I be too! It's a lot of fun now that dog costumes are becoming more and more popular with a ton of options and size available. Below are some of my dogs and their costumes!

Have fun with your dogs on Halloween and dress them up to! They can make wonderful companions for walking with the kids while out trick-or-treating!
