Halloween is Creeping Closer

/

The days are getting shorter. The weather is cooling down. The kids have been back in school for 4-6 weeks now. Halloween is Creeping Closer.

Soon you’ll be seeing ghosts, goblins, and witches showing up all over the neighborhood streets.

Are you ready for the invasion?

 

Preparing for Halloween

There’s a lot to do to prepare for Halloween. Over the years I’ve written many blog posts and even an eBook about how you can prepare for the holiday.

With costumes, decorations, trick-or-treating, and parties, you want your children and yourself to enjoy it as much as possible. But it’s also important to make sure everyone stays safe. That means having costumes that are safe to wear. It also means decorations are safe for trick-or-treaters coming to your front door or party guests in your home.

Below are the links to the blog posts and the eBook on Halloween. There are lots of tips and ideas to help you have a safe and fun holiday.

I wanted to let you know that I’ve started posting a Halloween tip each day on the Facebook page.  Since not everyone has an account with these social media site,  I’m going put the tips in a blog post.

We are down to the last week before Halloween. Time to make sure everything is ready to go. Below are several check lists to help you. You still have time to prevent that crazy last minute rushing around.

Costumes

  • Try them on and make sure they fit correctly.
  • Make any alterations if necessary.
