Dressing Up Our Home for Halloween

October 28, 2021, 5 Comments on Dressing Up Our Home for Halloween

While we have always decorated the outside of our home for Christmas, we never decorated for Halloween, and this year we decided to change that. Since our front yard is landscaped with desert plants, we decided to go for a western, Boot Hill look, including making tombstones and a coffin to house a bandit who…

Apple Picking in Oak Glen

October 26, 2021, 1 Comment on Apple Picking in Oak Glen

Tucked up in the hills of California’s inland empire is the quaint town of Oak Glen. With less than 500 residents, it’s a relatively sleepy little town until autumn arrives, when this country haven is overrun with out-of-towners, including myself. Why? It’s the Southern California hot spot for that beloved fall activity of apple picking. Within…

Autumn Outing at Disneyland

October 19, 2021, 4 Comments on Autumn Outing at Disneyland

Patrick and I returned to Disneyland last week to bask in the autumn decor. Living in Southern California means there really isn’t a lot of fall color, so sometimes I have to take in the manufactured fall vibes of Disneyland. Especially now as I’m not apt to do a whole lot of traveling at the…

10 Spooky Movies to Watch this Halloween

October 13, 2021, 5 Comments on 10 Spooky Movies to Watch this Halloween

While I love a good spooky movie any time of year, October is still really the best time to curl up with a cozy blanket, some popcorn, and watch a movie that will send some chills down your spine. The horror genre is really quite vast, and goes beyond the the classics and bloody slasher…

Feeling Spooky at Disneyland

October 6, 2021, 4 Comments on Feeling Spooky at Disneyland

Over the weekend Patrick and I spent a day enjoying the fall festivities of Disneyland, including watching the Halloween fireworks show. I love the variety of details found throughout Disneyland, but it really gets turned up a notch during the holidays. I especially love the plethora of Jack O’lanterns scattered along Main Street. So this…
