Day 26

  It's within reach! Q&A Favorite Halloween Candy     I am all for candy and have a huge sweet tooth. I'm always worried every year when I buy candy for the kids, that it won't make it to Halloween. So candy is usually a last minute purchase. Either that or I end up with a ton of bags because I know I'm going to eat it. There's only one rule in my house about candy. Touch my Reese's Cups and we will have problems. I buy bags of them for myself to try and deter myself from eating the kids candy.  Movie Night Title Rocky Horror Picture Show     This is a tradition in my house. It's one that I watch every year. I absolutely love it. One year I will eventually bake lip shaped cookies for the event.     I actually have not baked this year, or in fact last year either. With my health being in the crapper last year, I wasn't up to it. This year, I was hoping to get to bake something but time has not been my friend. And now, with all the heavy wo...

  It's ticking down Almost to a week left.! Q&A Corn Maze or Haunted Attraction     Well now, this one should be easy. I'll always be down for either but I love haunted attractions because there's always that excitement surrounding it. While I do not scare easily, it's still so much fun. I am always alert to what is around me and from that ability to quickly analyze the surroundings, I can pinpoint where the actors are going to be. With a corn maze it's straightforward but there's that feeling of anxiety about not knowing where you are and where you're going. That is one part that freaks me out is not being able to figure out how to go.  Movie Night Title  Scary Stories to tell in the Dark     Once again, I am getting into new material here. So, I don't really know what to expect but I'm sure it will be a good night.     It is definitely been a good run for the setup of the haunt though. Spider webbing is up with only a few more details l...

  Here we are on another beautiful day Q&A Hot Cocoa or Tea     When it starts getting cooler, I begin to make all my favorite comfort foods. I'm always cold so I like things to warm me up. I am not one for hot drinks except for coffee of course. But once fall kicks in and we start to see some of our early season snow, I will start the yearly hot cocoa fixins. This entails tiny marshmallows and depending on my mood, sprinkles or other candy toppers.  Movie Night Title Invisible Man     I have brought up my love of the older classic horror movies and this is definitely one of those. It has been a while since I watched the original 1933 flick. However, I did recently watch the new 2020 movie but you miss the nostalgia of the old favorites.     I really should work up an Invisible Man display in my haunt. Who knows, maybe it will become visible next season. I still have plenty of fun left in store for this year. Just check out Insta to see what i...

 Day 4 is upon us!  Let's kickstart today and get ready to think about food. Q&A Baked pie or baked cookies Baking and cooking are staples in my house. I'm always whipping up something to eat. I love to cook, so that just means I love to bake too. But when it comes to the question of what do I bake, the answer is everything. But between pies and cookies, I usually bake cookies. I have been meaning to make a cherry pie for quite some time. However, when it comes to Halloween baking, my heart will forever be tied to cupcakes. I usually have some kind of cupcakes in the oven throughout the end of year holiday seasons. But Halloween is when I can let my creative side show through. Like these. I may also be baking this year too. I wonder what I'll make. Movie Night Title Young Frankenstein     I have a soft spot for old school movies. This being one of them. I am a huge Mel Brooks fan, as well as Gene Wilder. It's movies and actors like these that also spurred on my ...
