Cutest Toddler Ever - Chicken Halloween Costume

I know it's too early for Halloween stuff, but I had to share this amazing costume my mom made my daughter. It's a chicken costume! And it is the best costume I have ever seen!


Is this not the best little kid costume ever?! I can't get enough! Believe it or not, grandma made the whole costume by hand.

 Here's her secret:

 Supplies

  • A lot of white feather boas (she used 20+ thin ones from the Dollar Store. You would likely need less if you purchased a better quality boa.)
  • Two white long sleeve onsies
  • Batting (this is stuffed between the two onsies for added plumpness)
  • Yellow rubber kitchen gloves
  • Crochet chicken hat
  • Yellow leg warmers

Steps:

  1. For the feathered bodysuit, place one onsie inside the other; stuff batting between them, and sew together at the necklines and leg holes so the batting doesn't come out. With your child wearing the bodysuit, drape boas across and around the body; and safety-pin in place as many boas as you want. The more boas, the fluffier it is and the less empty space in between. Remove  the costume from your child, and hand-stitch the boas in place every 4 inches. 
    • The reason your child needs to wear the onsies while you pin the boas in place is so you do not pin it too tight. The boas are not flexible so where they are stitched is where it stays. There is not much room to stretch. It would be terrible if you stitched the boas on and they were stitched too tight and you had to start over. Make sure the onsie is on your little one.
  2. Find an awesome person, or a grandma in my case, and have them crochet a chicken/rooster hat and stuff it with batting at the top so it's nice and full. 
  3. For the feet, stuff the fingers of the gloves with batting and tie closed. You can trim the excess material from the gloves with scissors and tuck under the fingers. Grab the thumb and pinkie of the glove and pull taut so fingers arch up (to prevent tripping); and tie in a knot behind the ankle.
Once it's made just slip on the feathered bodysuit, grab some leggings to keep their little legs warm, put on the hat, and tie on the chicken feet. Go have fun!
Oh, and make sure to dress up as a farmer so that little chicken is not left waddling the streets alone.


Check out Grandma's Facebook Page to see a bunch of cool things that she does besides making this awesome costume! She takes orders so do not hesitate to ask her for a chicken hat, or anything else!

Ps- Enjoy this awesome video of her waddling around.

Valentine Paper Heart Door Decorations

Here is a great way to show love to your children for the month of February. I started doing this last year for my son and he enjoyed every minute of it. He liked it so much that every day he would be excited to see what I had written down. What am I talking about? Well, let me tell you... Valentine's Paper Heart Door Decorations! All I did was cut out these cute red, pink, white, etc. paper hearts and wrote down one thing that I love about my son. Then each day I would tape one paper heart to his bedroom door for him to see. By Valentine's Day, he had 14 of these awesome hearts on his door showing him some of the things that I love about him. Since my daughter is a little bit older this year, she's only one- haha, I thought about doing this for her as well. This way, both of them can be excited about seeing some of the things I love about them the most. All you need to do is find colored construction paper and cut out 14 hearts- one heart for each day of February un

Gray Shirt with Black Leggings

There is nothing more comfortable than wearing a loose shirt with leggings. Am I right? I always struggle deciding if I want to wear something casual or a little more dressed up. Yes, it's easier to wear more casual outfits than outfits that are dressy, but I love comfy clothes more. Who doesn't? Now, don't get me wrong, I love experimenting with dressy outfits too. You'll see some of those soon enough. This week, however, I'm going with an outfit that is easy, but SO cute. So here it is, my Sunday Comfy Casual Outfit. I just got this gray shirt from Kohls last weekend and I love it! It has a loose fit so it is very comfortable. You can find it  here . The black leggings are one of my favorites. They are the softest leggings I've ever purchased! I highly recommend getting a pair. You will LOVE them too! You can find them at Maurices   here . The gray boots are a gift from my sister Destynie; she's such a sweetheart! Unfortunately, I cannot fin
