I was in charge of the Trunk or Treat for our church community this year and I wanted to share what I learned from putting that event together. The beauty of these events is that they are pretty easy to pull together and such a blast for the kiddos.

My youngest was recently baptized- so bittersweet. Where has the time gone? I know everyone says that, but it really is mind-blowing. His older brother had donuts at his baptism, and as a result every time I asked him what he wanted for refreshments he would say, “donuts!” I tried to get him to think outside the box but his heart was set on donuts. You can see the donut bar we did for big brother here. I wanted to make it a bit different than brother’s, however, so it wasn’t just a complete repeat.… Read the rest
