Spooky Season Starts Now Cozy Drinks, Kid Fun & a Must-See Listing

October is here—aka the month of warm drinks, crunchy leaves, and just enough spooky to keep things fun (and festive!). Whether you're decorating the porch or keeping the kiddos entertained, this week’s blog has you covered.

🕷️ Spooky Outdoor Décor – The Easy Version
Want your porch to say “festive” without going full haunted mansion?
Try this:
🕸️ Stretchy spiderwebs + fake spiders on railings
🪦 Black lanterns or Dollar Store tombstones lining the walk
🕯️ Flameless candles in mason jars for a ghostly glow
🎃 One or two big pumpkins > a dozen tiny ones (trust me)
💀 A motion-activated skeleton if you like scaring delivery people

Low effort, high Halloween impact. Boo-tiful. 👻

🍁 Fall Fun for the Littles
Before the sugar rush of trick-or-treating hits, keep the fall fun flowing:
🖍️ Decorate mini pumpkins with markers, not paint (no mess!)
📚 Read a Halloween-themed bedtime story by flashlight
🍎 Visit a local apple orchard or corn maze
🎃 Make a “spooky snack plate” with string cheese mummies & fruit bats
🧺 Collect leaves, then make a DIY leaf rubbing collage—it’s artsy and nostalgic
