I seriously wonder if people think I tried to “dress up” for Halloween today… If anyone asks, my answer will be, “Yeah, I’m my mom when she was 17… with coffee on her pants.”

Anyway, I’m still doing some clean up on her from transferring to self-hosting months ago so I’m reliving some fun blog posts, like these two about Halloween-ish topics. But first, enter to win some great treats from NatureBox.
