You can also do a 5 minute decoration for your entry. Decorate your front door with a monster to welcome guests. You can make a real simple decoration with some paper plates. Draw big eyes on two paper plates,

    Love the monster door idea! So simple. And the pumpkins are wonderful too. I love pumpkins because you don't have to spend a lot to get that bright orange, telltale pumpkin look.. without having to buy actual pumpkins.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
