At the beginning of October, I picked up a home decor magazine with a Halloween inspired cover (I think it was Good Housekeeping), just because it had been so long since I actually flipped through the pages of a magazine vs swiping through the internet or pinterest for inspiration. And whaddya know? I got inspired! …
I resisted posting all day yesterday because I wanted to start off the month with something festive, yet I wouldn’t really allow my mind to go into create-mode (do you know the feeling?) So I stalled all day long and continued procrastinating (by keeping very busy doing a million other things)… But I’ve vowed to …
Oh I just love Halloween! How is it not your favorite time of the year and holiday? I think I may even enjoy it more than Christmas! Some years I decorate and some years I don’t, but no matter what, I feel a festive creativity come over me each October that I just love. I …
We’ve been a bit behind on the Halloween decor front this month because we’ve been so distracted by our house situation {we are in escrow, eek!}. My husband usually has boxes of king sized candy bars just waiting to hand out on Halloween to all the kiddos but he hasn’t even gotten them yet. This …

That black widow is real. The husband killed it & left it’s guts on the wall to warn his friends lol. see the rest of our Halloween decor here I can’t wait to decorate the tables …which won’t happen until later & will most likely show up in a party post tomorrow but the tarnished …
