October Top Five

Happy Halloween!  My kids can hardly contain their excitement for today's Halloween festivities!  They are so excited to dress up and collect candy, while in my mind, this day marks the start of my favorite season...the holiday season!  All the baking, decorating, and festive gatherings are what bring me excitement!

So before I get busy with holiday projects, here's a quick recap of October around our home....

I finally put a few decorations on my front porch to get ready for all the little trick-or-treaters on Friday.  I really don't do much decorating for Halloween, but I like to do a little bit here and there.  This was a banner I made last year, but I used it inside.  You can see it here.

Originally, I was going to change out my black planter with mums or other seasonal flowers, but decided to just fill it with a foxtail fern so that I can use it with my Christmas decorating too.  Love the look of solid green by the front door whether it be a fern or boxwood, etc.

I also added a couple of things inside our home, because my kids love Halloween and get excited to see the house decorated.  But much the same as last year...

So, I put up these lights inside in my entry.

And we made these candy wrapper crafts for their teachers again.

Another batch of these cookies will be made for our Halloween party on Friday as well. 

Have a BOO-tiful day!

Plaid Fringe Scarf

And this one is cute as well...Oversized Plaid Scarf


Happy Friday!  This week has been a bit crazy, so I'm excited for the weekend to get here!  Are you a scarf lover?  I used not be so much, but this year I'm a bit obsessed with them.  How cute is the middle one?  It's from Target and only $16.99!  I've shared a couple of my favorites on IG already this season and I'm thinking that I would love to add the black and white buffalo plaid one to my collection as well!

Have a wonderful weekend!
