Halloween is Wednesday. The kids are all ready. You have their costumes all prepared and planned. Of course your husband and your kids want to know what you are going to wear to go trick or treating. Here’s when the panic sets in. You would love to be one of the cool Moms who actually look put together but you simply don’t have time after coming home from a long day’s work and putting the laundry away. What could you possibly put together in 5 minutes and not have to buy anything, you ask?
Well, together we’re going to find out. I would suggest starting with the clothing and jewelry you already have in your closet. I used to do it up for Hollywood parties and wear fantastic costumes but now I am a business woman, I don’t have time. Here are a few costumes you can create in an hour!

We all want to look our best for our families on Halloween. As much as we dislike the thought of dressing up, our partners would be very appreciative to see us out of our house clothes and into something vaguely sexy! As moms and wives it is easy to forget how much our spouses would appreciate us taking our mommy jeans off and looking like a sexy woman once in a while (I say this from experience). When raising children is easy to forget things like oh, looking like a diva once in a while! Halloween is a great time to get in touch with your inner goddess once again and dress to impress. Halloween is a time to remind yourself that you are indeed a powerful, beautiful woman.
I would love to see what you come up with. If you send me a picture I would be proud to post it on the site to show everyone what you came up with. Let’s show the world how fantastic Halloween in New England really is! After all, we have the best spooky places!
Big Halloween Hugs!
