With October winding down and Halloween just a few short days away (I still need to stock up on candy!) I’ve been trying to get those final spooky plans and events on the calendar before it’s time to shift gears into Thanksgiving-Mode and preparing for the holiday season. We’re entering the final stretch of 2026, […]
It’s been a busy few days as I finalize plans for Halloween Eve and Halloween Night in-between working, putting the finishing touches on a costume for a murder mystery dinner I’m participating in this coming weekend, and finalizing plans for some travel at the beginning of November for my boyfriend’s birthday – but I’ve still […]
