Hump Day Poll: Your Childhood Go To's

Candy Edition! I was thinking about my Mom's 50th birthday party.  It was a wonderful memory because I worked really hard on it and planned it for 9 months to make it great for her.  Because she didn't have a 25th wedding anniversary, I knew I was going to go all out for her 50th.  I had family, friends, people from high school, co-workers (ones I knew she liked! 😁) and I loved seeing her face when she would see people she hadn't seen in a long time.  One of the biggest hits that people talked about for years after were the retro candy baskets on every table.  I bought ones that I knew were her favorites as well as looking at what were popular at the time.   People lost their minds and were squealing like kids when they saw their favorites. I got all of the candy through Candy Favorites website and it's always so fun to look through. I was perusing the site, I was thinking of what stuff I'd want in the baskets on my table for a party like Mom's: Cher...

What I'm Reading This Week #43

It's the last Friday of October and you know what that means...


This is my spirit time of year and I plan to roll around in all of the pumpkin patches, kick all of the leaves and wear all of the fuzzy socks!

Now let's roll into...




25 Common Words That Didn’t Exist Until the 1990s   (I'm pretty sure "brain freeze" was before the 90's but yeah)

These Vintage Diet and Food Ads From the 80s and 90s Will Actually Shock You  (Ugh, Crystal Pepsi was SO nasty!)

How to Wash Your Pillows the Right Way  (Ooh, good guidelines.)

24 Hilariously Horrific Halloween DIY Fails  (OMG, these are hilarious!)

Why Was The Amityville Horror So Terrifying?  (We've driven by the actual house- there is something peaceful but eerie about it.)

The Best Halloween Candy to Buy in 2019  (Those Butterfinger skulls are awesome!)

12 DIY Halloween Lanterns You Can Make In No Time  (In case you changed your mind on "general Fall decor" only.)

Halloween Hijinx: 15 Scarily Funny Horror Films  (I was OBSESSED with Love at First Bite as a kid!  I probably couldn't sit through it now though, I don't want to taint it.  Some of these do not count as horror movies in my book but Happy Death Day should definitely be added to the list!)

What It's Really Like Inside The 'Scream' House   (Um, I want to rent it for an event please!)

18 Creative Ideas for Leftover Halloween Candy  (Leave no Reese's Pieces behind.)

I hope you have a great last weekend of October and get in all of those fun Halloween/Fall activities before the hustle and bustle of Christmas sets in a week from today.  (Poor Thanksgiving, it so gets the shaft.)

What are you into this weekend?

    The hubs has to work, so I'll go to my meeting, then grocery shop afterwards. Then I seriously need to work on some house stuff before we start dipping in to November. Other than that, I'll be spending time with the pooches and going through my mounds of misc notes to see what I can get rid of. LOL

    Enjoy the last weekend of October!
