So...Alex wants to dress as Green Arrow for his birthday party, which happens to be twe weeks from today. It's a 'Superhero' party, and the kids are encouraged to dress as their favorite. He's already done Green Lantern. Batman, Superman or Flash, I can find manufactured costumes for.
But he wants to go as Ollie.

I know many food bloggers are also incredibly...crafty. I mean that in a good way! So, I'm hoping someone out there can help. I want to make a Halloween costume for Alex; a vintage-style baseball uniform. Unfortunately, I've yet to find anything...

I'd already made a cake for Alex's birthday party, as well as cupcakes to send to school on the actual day. So, for his much-smaller family birthday dinner, I was kind of out of ideas. One of Alex's classmates share his birthday, and her...
