And just like that...Halloween 2020 is a wrap!
It’s hard to believe it’s already October 31st. Every Halloween season goes quickly, but this year, in particular, seemed to FLY. Perhaps it was the travel I did in the heart of the season to enjoy a bit of fall in northern Wisconsin or maybe it’s just the cruelty of 2020, but I truly feel like I blinked and October was gone.
That doesn’t mean we haven’t had a ton of spooky fun all season long, though. It’s become a tradition to share some of my favorite blog posts of the season on Halloween day, so I hope you’ll enjoy taking another spin through my picks as we close out Halloween 2020.

4. Trick-or-Treating Alternatives
Honestly, even before the pandemic, this one was on my list to write. Halloween 2018 included a killer thunderstorm in Houston, which immediately sent me Googling for trick-or-treating ideas when it became clear trick-or-treating wasn’t going to be possible that night. I’m happy to have my own list of creative, easy and yes, even silly, ideas for trick-or-treating under unusual circumstances. READ MORE

My 5 Favorite Blog Posts of Halloween 2020
Of course, when you’re a Halloween blogger, being asked to choose your favorite post is like picking a favorite pet or child – impossible! So here are 5 of my favorite posts I wrote this Halloween season.

1. Halloween Hunting
Usually by mid-July, I’m counting down to 5 p.m. on Fridays when I can leave work and go Halloween hunt at my favorite stores. Then I share the photos on the blog every Friday in August and September. Obviously, 2020 put a damper on that since I’ve been working from home since mid-March and in mid-July, Texas’ COVID cases were out of control. Instead, I opted shop online AND shop small! All eight businesses I featured sell Halloween treats all year long. CHECK THEM OUT

2. How to Make Apple Cider Margaritas
Another benefit of being home so much? Time to make recipes, like this apple cider margarita I made for Halloweenie Roast 2018. I was thrilled to finally share it on the blog. It’s one of my faves. GET THE RECIPE

3. How to Make a Halloween Countdown Calendar
Another benefit to being home? Time for DIYs! This season I knocked out two that have been on my to-do list for the last 2-3 years. This countdown calendar is a printable you can enjoy with your family year after year and cost me less than $15 to put together. The back of every number has a Halloween fun fact on it! SEE THE DIY

4. My Pottery Barn-Inspired Bat Chandelier
I’ve been wanting to replicate this item since I saw it back in 2014…and it finally happened this year! This one takes a little time, but I was really happy with the results and have been enjoying it in my hallway all Halloween season. LEARN HOW TO MAKE IT
