This entire year has already felt like one big scary Halloween movie so I decided I’m jumping to Christmas! Yesterday I put on Mariah Carey’s Christmas album and sang my lungs out in the shower and my spirits immediately began lifting…. By afternoon I had my husband hauling in boxes of Christmas decorations from the […]
It’s always on a Saturday morning in October. Our family meets down at a place called the Red Barn. We get their homemade apple cider and freshly made apple donuts for breakfast and then we climb aboard a tractor trailer to ride on hail bails out to the pumpkin patch where we explore a corn […]
It was a dark and stormy night. I was sound asleep in my bed on the main floor while my two little kids were fast asleep upstairs in their beds. As a single mom at the time I was always keenly aware of any sounds I heard in the house late at night. But this […]
Is it messed up that I started putting up my Christmas tree last night?!? I just couldn’t help myself…it’s crazy cold outside and it started snowing which made it feel like Christmas…and Christmas happens to be my very favorite holiday of all time…so yeah…I got excited and BAM…the decorations came out….so like it or not, […]
Yesterday was the official start to FALL! I personally like to say Autumn rather than Fall because it just sounds so much prettier to say…and pretty is exactly how I’d describe Autumn. There is very little that compares in beauty to seeing a full array of fall colored leaves on the mountainside – it’s truly […]
Want to know what’s scary? For me, it’s the thought of having the doorbell ring over and over again all night on Halloween and having to get up and done and up and down to answer it over and over to give out candy to kids that often seem way too old to still be […]
I love people who are willing to be uncool –people who get out on the dance floor even when they know they are terrible dancers, people who rock the karaoke mic even when they can’t sing a lick, people who don’t just put on costume but who go all out when they do…I love people […]
WHAT??!! Only 90 days are left in this year?? How is that even possible?! It’s October 1st people – that’s how! I can hardly believe it’s October already. But the good news is it’s October! And October starts off all the fall and winter holidays! First comes Halloween…then Thanksgiving…and then Christmas…Oh how I love all […]
You gotta love Halloween. Free candy and fun costumes…what could be better? Growing up as a kid at Halloween time we used to always look forward to watching “It’s The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.” One of the best lines from that movie is: “Never jump into a pile of leaves with a wet sucker.” – […]
“That awkward moment when you’re wondering who at all the candy, and you realize…you did.” Trick-or-treating and the loads of candy we all gathered may have seemed like a great idea in the moment..and it tastes amazing when we eat it!…But once we’ve downed handfuls of that sugary goodness it begins flowing through our digestive […]
I am a HUGE fan of Halloween. First off, we all get free candy and who doesn’t love candy?! And second, we all get to put on a costume for a day and pretend to be something or someone else – it’s an escape from our everyday routine lives when we can get creative and […]
I cannot believe it is the middle of October already! Holy cats people, it’s time to bust out those hoodies and pass the candy corn because Fall is officially in season and Halloween is only a few weeks away! That means we get to carve pumpkins for the front porch, we get to bust out […]
I was talking with someone the other day who was sharing how much fun they had at a Halloween party our family threw in our driveway. I was thanking them for coming to the party and I agreed with them that it was a really fun time. They then made a comment that really stuck with me […]
Happy Halloween Weekend Ahead! Not only do we gain an entire hour of extra sleep Saturday night when the clocks fall back (yay, more sleep!….I am so happy about that!), but we get to look forward to gaining a few pounds from eating candy, candy, candy!!! Dang that candy… We really love Halloween at our […]
Okay so I have to start today’s blog by taking a moment to recognize my favorite candy, Candy Corn, because for those of you who failed to remember, today was National Candy Corn Day! How cool is it that my favorite candy has its very own holiday to recognize it! Yes I love me some […]
Can you believe it? We actually start the month of November this Saturday! It is insane how fast time has gone since the warm days of summer and sunshine. I am amazed how fast the fall has come and is now going this year. Even daylight savings will come to an end this weekend and […]
Autumnal equinox hit today, September 22nd at 10:29 PM EDT, making this officially the first day of fall. From here on out the temperatures begin to drop and the days start getting shorter than the nights. Autumn is officially upon us! I have to admit that there are many things I absolutely love about the […]
Happy Halloween Everyone! I love seeing all the cute little kids in their fun Halloween costumes on Halloween going door to door in search of candy. And according to a news report I saw on TV this morning those cute little kids should be hiding their candy stashes when they get home tonight – they […]
First I have to admit that there is little I enjoy LESS than the repeated doorbell ringing on the night of Halloween when you have to walk through the house for the ten millionth time to open the door and pass out candy. It’s not that I don’t enjoy seeing all the cute little kids […]
