We have the cutest Dracula food craft for you this fall season. These Vampire Halloween Donuts will have anyone craving a mouth-watering bite of this tasty Halloween doughnut. I want to suck… that icing!

Mouth-Watering Vampire Halloween Donuts

I seriously love planning Halloween for you all. I think some of my most creative posts cover Halloween (if I may pat myself on the back- ha ha!) I am not sure if it is the temperatures cooling off, the lull of creativity over summer, or the beginning of the seasons, but I love when Halloween season hits and I can come up with all these creative food crafts and Halloween decorations.

This week we wanted to bring to you these very creative Halloween Food Crafts – Dracula Donuts. Speaking of donuts, I had to do some research among my friends – how do you spell donuts? Donuts or Doughnuts? I do it both ways so you will see me interchange the words in the post, but the majority of the vote spelled it donuts – we all blame Dunkin Donuts for the evolution of the word. Dictionary.com prefers doughnuts…. I digress.

Back to our tasty Halloween treats. I especially loved this recipe, because it is easy and you can create these adorable vampires in a matter of minutes. In addition to doughnuts (we just picked up some pre-made cake doughnuts at the grocery store but Krispy Kreme would be a great idea too), you will need a few supplies. Fake vampire teeth are a must. We picked up two dozen for around $5 – a pretty good deal to me! Also grab 1 container of purple frosting, red gel icing, and black icing. I think a black gel tube or a black icing writer would be best for this, as well, to properly shape the hairline. We used black dots for the eyes because I had no candy eyes in my pantry but I have always loved the Wilton Candy Eyes when doing food crafts. They were really cute on our Halloween Jalapeno Popper Mummies.

Enjoy your tasty vampires!

Do it yourself Weekly Dorm Room Calendar. This easy Paint Chip Craft can be done in a matter of minutes and aids in organizing daily home and school life.

DIY Weekly Dorm Room Calendar Craft

As a former teacher and a mom of pre-teens, one of my favorite posts on Frugal Coupon Living was Dorm Room Hacks and Tips. I loved putting together ideas for the dorm room without having to send one of my girls off to school. I also loved the college organizing ideas that could easily be transformed into Teen Bedroom Ideas.

As any mom knows, keeping teens organized can be a huge challenge, particularly when they go off to college! College kids need all the help they can get when organizing their dorm rooms. Most dorms are tiny spaces with barely any room to move- much less space for organizing supplies! With this cute paint chip dorm room organizer calendar, kids will be prepared to face whatever college has to throw at them. This craft was easy. It took some of our preexisting Paint Chips and turned them into a weekly calendar for college.

Younger kids will also love this cute paint chip calendar, and after you make the first one, you just might have to make one for everyone in the family! This calendar can be placed in a home bedroom, a home command center, and maybe even inside a teen locker for school. Wherever you place your calendar, this is a super inexpensive way to stay organized, and it doubles as cute wall art at the same time!

Happy crafting.

Supplies:

Directions:

Cut the paint chips to the desired size. I rounded the corners on my paint chips to give them a softer appearance.
Place the paint chips into a laminating pocket and run through the laminating machine. Cut the paint chips out of the plastic.
Use a permanent marker to write the days of the week onto the clothespins. If your clothespins are small, use abbreviations for the days of the week. Decide if you want a 7-day or 5-day calendar.
Use a dry erase marker to write the daily tasks onto the paint chips. If your to-do list gets too long, add another paint chip to that day.
Hang the twine string somewhere in a dorm room or on a bulletin board. Use clothespins to secure the paint chips to the string in daily order.
As you complete each task, wipe it off the paint chip. The next week, you can reuse each paint chip to write that day’s tasks.

Do it yourself Weekly Dorm Room Calendar. This easy Paint Chip Craft can be done in a matter of minutes and aids in organizing daily home and school life.

Everyone’s favorite dessert, milk and cookies, twisted into a cool tasty treat – Milk and Cookies Popsicles featuring Golden OREOs.

Milk and Cookies Popsicles

We twisted everyone’s favorite dessert into a yummy treat, Milk and Cookies Popsicles! This Popsicle recipe features Golden OREOs. We did not use whole milk in this recipe, we used our secret ingredient Almond Milk. We make a lot of smoothies in our home, so Almond Milk is a pretty common staple ingredient for us. To add more flavor, we included sugar and vanilla extract. If you need a Popsicle mold, these are like the molds we used.

Enjoy!

Ingredients:

2 cups Unsweetened Vanilla Almond milk
¼ cups Sugar
2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
Golden OREOs
Popsicle molds – these are like the molds we used, but they have many more options!

Directions:

Pour two cups of unsweetened vanilla almond milk into a blender.
Add in ¼ cup of sugar.
Mix in 2 teaspoons of vanilla.
Blend until the mixture is well combined.
Place one whole Golden Oreo into the bottom of each Popsicle mold.
Break another Golden Oreo into fourths, and layer it the rest of the way to the top of each Popsicle mold.
Pour your Popsicle mixture into each mold to fill it to the top.
Place the tops on each of the Popsicle molds.
Put the Popsicles in the freezer for at least 5 hours.
When ready to serve, you can loosen the Popsicle in the molds with some warm running water.

We have the cutest after school snack for the kids. These Back to School Apple Pops are easy to make with only two simple ingredients – candy melts and nutter butter cookies. They look just like apple cores!

Back to School Apple Pops

They require only two ingredients – Nutter Butter Cookies and Wilton Candy Melts (of various colors.) Make them before the kids get home as a fun surprise or unwind one afternoon and make them with the kids. Don’t forget to bag a few and send in to school for a special teacher!

Allergy alert! These do contain peanut butter so consider making our Apple OREO Pops as an alternative.

Description

Ingredients

Nutter Butters
Wilton white candy melts
Wilton red candy melts
Wilton light cocoa candy melts
Wilton light green candy melts
Green lollipop sticks
Parchment paper
Decorating bag

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

1. In a small microwave safe bowl, heat 2 cups of the white, 2 cups of red and 1/4 cup of brown candy melts in separate microwave safe bowls on 50% power for 3-4 minutes. Make sure to stir every 30 seconds until melted. (This evens out the temperature and prevents burning.)

2. Once melted, carefully open a Nutter Butter cookie and add a dollop of melted white chocolate and gently press a green lollipop stick onto the frosting side of the Nutter butter so the stick sticks out the top about 1/2” (for your stem) and carefully place the Nutter Butters back together.

3. Place your cookies on a baking pan lined with parchment paper and transfer to the freezer for 5 minutes.

4. After freezing, hold the lollipop sticks over the melted white chocolate and coat the center with the melted white chocolate, let any excess drip off and set back onto the parchment paper and into the freezer for another 5 minutes.

5. After freezing, hold onto the lollipop stick over the red chocolate and coat the top and bottom of the Nutter Butter with red chocolate, let any excess drip off and place onto a piece of parchment paper

6. Break a small green candy melt in half, smooth the edges with your finger and place on top of the Nutter Butter by the “stem” or green lollipop stick. Transfer to the freezer for 15 minutes.

7. In a small microwave safe bowl, heat 1/4 cup of your light cocoa candy melts on 50% power for 2-3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted, pour into a decorating bag and cut a tiny tip off the end of the bag.

8. Use your decorating bag of light cocoa candy melts to draw 4 tiny seeds onto the white center of the apple.

9. Let harden and enjoy!

Looking to go outlet shopping in Washington, DC? We have the best tips to help you save a dime. Shop and Stay with Tanger Outlets and Gaylord National at one of D.C.’s most popular spots, the National Harbor. Enjoy your stay!

Outlet Shopping in Washington, DC

Well this blog has done nothing but prove I love to shop! It has proved I love to shop frugally and I love to share my deals and finds with you. Since having five kids, finding a deal, running from store to store and using a coupon has been a bit of a challenge. It was easy with one child when I started the blog 10 years ago. I would jump in the car and hit about 5 stores in a day trying to save my family a dime. Since the birth of my last two, the twins, it has been hard to load the entire family and drive around town to get the best deals so my visit to Tanger Outlets at National Harbor was eye opening and freeing… let me explain why.

First, you guys, I found some quality clothing for less. I mean for a lot less. The clothing was not only extremely affordable, but it also was quality fabric and textiles. How did my adventure begin? It began with a challenge! Myself and nine other DC Metro bloggers were sent on a mission to find an outfit for $250 or less. Our mission was to share the best outfit, with the most accessories and see who saved the most money! I spent about $240 after the challenge.

Tanger Outlets has a mobile app. Download their mobile app and save on your favorite brands and designer fashions. One of my favorite things about the Tanger Outlets is their Best Price Promise. That means if you find it for less, they will pay you back the difference meaning no matter what you buy, you are guaranteed the lowest price around! Additionally, stay in the know. Every day Tanger features a different deal. If you know you are into saving, be sure to text NATIONALHARBOR to 55695. If you are shopping at other locations, text TANGER to 55695 to sign up for text deals! You might find something at your favorite store.

What I bought in my $250 Challenge:

Coach Purse $69.59 ~~$295.00~~
Charlotte Ruse Aviator Sunglasses $0.00* ~~$6.99~~
Charlotte Ruse Straw Bag* $19.19 ~~$23.99~~
Charlotte Ruse Booties $10.00 ~~$30.99~~
Charlotte Ruse Golden Suede Stilettos* $29.59 ~~$36.99~~
Banana Republic Eyelet Shorts $20.24 ~~$49.99~~
Banana Republic High Waist Navy Shorts* $10.93 ~~$49.99~~
Banana Republic A-line Shirt Dress $16.19 ~~$39.99~~
Banana Republic Stripe Scarf* $5.66 ~~$13.99~~
Banana Republic Shift Dress $18.21 ~~$44.99~~
H&M Floral Blouse* $5.00 ~~$24.99~~
H&M Blue Stripe Blouse $5.00 ~~$24.99~~
H&M Orange Jacket* $31.99 ~~$79.99~~

I spent a total of $241.59 and saved a total of $722.88. All my items were a retail value of $964.47. This was a grand savings of 75% off all my purchases!

* These pieces were part of my outfit challenge.

Are you a frequent shopper? Take a look at the TangerClub. Purchase a lifetime membership at this or any Tanger Outlet location for only $10. This membership gives you exclusive perks and access to additional savings. You also can turn in your receipts and early exclusive rewards like a tote or even $25 Gift Card! With each visit to Tanger Outlets, be sure to stop at Shopper Services with your TangerClub card and pick up your coupon booklet.

Your day doesn’t have to end there! Make your way about a mile downhill and enjoy a stay at Gaylord National, located at National Harbor. Immerse yourself in the luxury of this memorable hotel located on the Potomac river. Just steps away enjoy an evening of entertainment, a ride on the Capital Wheel, additional shopping or a visit to the new MGM National Harbor.

Is shopping exhausting… I have five a kids and a day of shopping was probably more exhausting than being home and taking care of them – why is that? On your vacation, or stay-cation, you deserve to relax. With all that outlet shopping savings, you should absolutely indulge in yourself! Be sure to book and appointment at Gaylord National’s Relâche Spa & Salon. Did you know that relâche means to release. Release all your tension with one of their treatments and amenities… Facials, lip treatments, couples massages, hair & scalp treatments and more. Are you on the go or limited on time. Enjoy the spa’s new Express Bar with a walk-in appointment. Treatments are 25 minutes or less and all are under $65!

This spa does not disappoint. The staff is amazing, the smells are divine and your ambiance is relaxing. The Relâche Spa & Salon was named one of the “Top 100 Spas of 2013” by Spas of America. Reserve our one of their massages, manicures/pedicures, body scrubs and make-up sessions during your National Harbor stay.

I was able to visit and had so many treatments. I got my makeup done, a mini facial, and my hair done. My patchology facial included a 15 minute LED eye treatment, eye and lip treatments (15 minutes) and a Hydrating Patchology Flashmasque (5 minutes.) My hair treatment was perfect, perfecting frizzy curls into beautiful spiral with the help of a BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Miracurl Machine – oh my goodness, you guys, have you tried this little piece of magic! I am a believer!

Spa Hours are Sun: 10:00 AM – 06:00 PM, Mon-Fri: 10:00 AM – 08:00 PM, Sat: 09:00 AM – 09:00 PM.

Tweet, tweet. This birthday doesn’t have to be for the birds. Make these easy Peacock Cupcakes for your bird-themed party.

Ingredients

Scale

6 Prepared Cupcakes, unfrosted
1 Container White Frosting
6 Blue Ice Cream Cake Cones
12 Small Edible Eyes
Wilton Bubble Gum Sprinkles
8 oz. Wilton Chocolate Melts, White
8 oz. Wilton Chocolate Melts, Light Green
8 oz. Wilton Chocolate Melts, Turquoise
Purple Sanding Sugar

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Frost each cupcake with a layer of white frosting.
Cut the top rim off each blue cone and discard the top rims. Set the cone parts with the opened end down on a tray so bottoms of the cones are faced up.
Melt the white chocolate according to package directions and put it into a small plastic bag and snip the tip off. Put 2 dots of chocolate on each cone on the side near the top and press 2 eyeballs on. Put a dot of chocolate under the eyes and stick an orange tiny bubble gum sprinkle to those. Let the chocolate harden.
Melt the other two colors of chocolate and put each of those colors in their own plastic bag and snip off an end.
To make the peacock feathers, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pipe a feather shape of each color in a fan shape making sure the colors touch. Sprinkle the purple sugar on the white feathers. Put a little swirl of a different color chocolate on each feather to resemble the multi-color feathers of a peacock. My feather were about 3 inches long. Let these harden completely.
Use the white chocolate to make 6 little “W” shapes on the parchment paper no more than an inch tall. Take each of the chocolate colors and put a dot on each end of the “W” shapes. Sprinkle some purple sugar on the little white dots. Let these harden completely. These will be the little feathers for the top of the peacock’s heads.
On each cone on the opposite side of the eyes, put a dot of chocolate and stick a fan of the peacock feathers to it. It should look like the big fan of feathers is behind the cone body and the face.
On top of each cone right above the eyes, put a dot of white chocolate, and stick the little feather “w” to it. Let all the chocolate harden.
Put a peacock on each cupcake and press them into the frosting a little bit so they are secure.
These cute cupcakes are great for any zoo or animal party!

Homemade Jolly Rancher Suckers. This lollipop recipe is easy to make for the kids.

Homemade Jolly Rancher Suckers

Did you watch Kids Baking Championship? Ever since the birth of that show, my girls (ages 8 and 9) have wanted to get creative in the kitchen. Sometimes we get creative in the kitchen and I give them a boxed cookie recipe plus a secret ingredient and they must get crafty. Other times, though, we go for something simple and easy like these Homemade Jolly Rancher Suckers. The recipe requires Jolly Rancher Candies, a lollipop mold and lollipop sticks. We had fun putting one of our favorite candy’s on a stick!

Enjoy!

Ingredients and Supplies:

We used a lollipop mold found here. You will also need lollipop sticks found here.

Directions:

Unwrap four jolly rancher candies and place them in a coffee mug (or glass measuring cup).
Lightly spray a non stick cooking spray in the sucker part of the mold and wipe out with a paper towel.
Microwave for 30 seconds on 60% power and then microwave for another 15-30 seconds on 80% power (your mixture should be bubbling, caution it’s very hot).
Carefully and quickly pour your melted Jolly Rancher into your sucker mold.
Rinse your mug with hot water until the leftover candies have melted off (this takes a minute or so).
Switch colors of Jolly Ranchers and repeat steps.
Place in freezer for 15 minutes and your suckers will pop right out.
