As a busy mom of two, I often find myself pulled in several directions at once.  Today is no different in that I am trying to pull together a Halloween Party of epic proportion in just 3 short weeks.  During this party planning frenzy, I am faced with finding props and decorations, coming up with a menu that will work for the 4-6 year old’s taste buds, and fit everything into my theme.  My kids are going with an Alice In Wonderland theme this year, so our party theme is somewhere along the lines of “Twisted Wonderland”, more likely The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party (Clean Cup! Clean Cup! Move Down!).

Did I mention I am to do this while still having the need to work as well?  Now I am sure there are many moms out there that will find themselves in the same predicament that I now find myself in, and so I shall share any tricks and treats I find helpful along the way.

Tto that end, in my daily travels through cyberspace today looking for all the odds and ends I will need, I came across two really great articles that will help me out.  Maybe they will help you as well this spooky hallows eve.

The first article has some great  recipes  for spooky treats that are sure to delight even my young guests.  Get the recipes for things like Large Snowball Spiders and Spooky Ghosts!  Get your spooky recipes here.  I am sure to snag a few of these to help with my young  jet set’s menu.

The second article, Everything you need to know, craft and cook for a fun-filled holiday, will help you do everything from yummy recipies to great one hour costumes.  My favorite tip out of this article was how to make Victorian pumpkins.  This may fit nicely with my theme of “Twisted Wonderland”.  Although, how to create a Ghostly Gathering might be in order as well.

I will keep you posted on other great resources I find along the twisted path that I will follow to wonderland.
