Happy Halloween!

Halloween is just a couple of days away and I am so excited! I love this time of year - the changing season, the holidays, the kids trick-or-treating, and all the decorations and festivities. In celebration of the spooky season, I'd like to share a few last minute things you can do to transform your Halloween celebration and make this a year to remember!

Decor

Today is the perfect day to pick up pumpkins for carving! If you create your pumpkin masterpiece today it will still look fresh and vibrant on Halloween night.

Mock spiderwebs that get put up too early often get tangled and matted as the winds and water happen. Today would be a great day to put them out and have them looking perfectly for trick-or-treaters.

Food

There are so many amazing foods that make this season what it is!

Try some of these amazing treats for the rest of the week...

• Apple Cider
• S'mores
• Pumpkin Pie
• Homemade Chili
• Homemade Candy
• Herbal Tea

This is a great time of year to try cooking something new in your own kitchen!

Celebrations

When the spooky trick-or-treaters come knocking on your door this Thursday, have something special in store for them! Try answering your door in costume or with simple face paint, turn on colored lights or haunted house background music, or decorate your doorway to really set the mood.

Candy is a favorite treat among all the haunts, but you can give out other treats if you want to get creative. Dried fruit bags, small toys, crayons, sidewalk chalk, or even fruit leather make great candy alternatives!

Happy Halloween!
