I am loving our Sleepy Hollow theme. We still need to carve all of the pumpkins, but we are pretty much done. The headless horseman digital decorations from @atmosfx look great this year. I am also loving the fun pumpkin digital decorations they have as well. I think we might add a few of those to the tunnel too on Halloween night.
I have a full blog post on how we build our Halloween tunnel up at Staying Blonde right now Link in bio. #countdowntohalloween #halloweendecorations #halloweendecor #sleepyhollow #legendofsleepyhollow #headlesshorseman #atmosfx #hauntedtunnel #halloweenarches #diyhalloween #diyhalloweendecorations

When it comes to the Holidays, do you enjoy the Halloween or Christmas season more? I really enjoy Halloween, but I just LOVE Christmas, especially at Disneyland. It’s definitely my favorite time of the year to visit the parks. Fingers crossed that we can make it work and squeeze in a trip this holiday season. 🤞 #christmasiscoming #countdowntochristmas #christmasvshalloween #disneylandcalifornia #disneyland #disneymom #disneyfamily

No Halloween season is complete without a visit to the pumpkin patch, right?!. I just can’t believe that I was able to rally my teens into going with me another year. Of course, they only agreed to go if they could bring friends.
I knew not to push my luck and force too much time together, hence no family photo, but I did get individual ones, so I’ll take that as a win. Why didn’t anyone warn me that getting teens excited to do anything would be this hard?
Although, this is a perfect pumpkin patch for all ages. It has just about something for everyone. This one is called Spina Farms, and it is located in Morgan Hill, California. It has a huge corn maze, hayrides, pumpkin blasters, great food, music, and tons of pumpkins. 🎃

This is our favorite pumpkin patch ever. We’ve been coming here since the kids were little, and it’s been fun to see how it’s grown over the years. We love it because it has a little something for everyone, and it is great for all ages. And, believe it or not, pumpkins here don’t break the bank. We got tons of huge pumpkins and none of them were more than $10. #spinafarms #pumpkinpatch #spinafarmspumpkinpatch #hayride #fallfun #halloweenfun #bayareafun #bayareafamily #bayareakids #bayareamom #momlife

Greetings from Sleepy Hollow. I’ve been a bit under the weather lately, so it’s taking me a little longer to get our halloween tunnel decorated. This year we are doing the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. I am excited and anxious for our visit from the Headless Horseman on halloween night.
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow has always been one of my favorite Halloween tales. What’s your favorite Halloween story? #halloweenfun #sleepyhollow #legendofsleepyhollow #halloweentunnel #halloweenarches #halloweendecorations #halloweendecor #halloweenideas #momlifebestlife

Just your average Friday night corn stalk run. Seriously though, I can’t believe I had to pay for dead corns stalks. If I were back in Indiana right now, I’d just go cut some down. 😂
We finally settled on a theme for this year‘s haunted tunnel and these stalks will look perfect! I know it’s not a lot to go on, but does anyone want to guess what our theme is? #halloweendecor #halloweentime #halloweendecorating #momlife #momlifebestlife

I made these in September of last year and I don’t think I got rid of them until after Christmas. I used them as centerpieces on my Thanksgiving table and I used them as fall decorations on my front porch. All you need to remember is to spritz them every other day or so. The best thing about them is that I was able to replant the succulents in little pots and I still have them today. I have the full set of instructions of how to make these succulent pumpkin centerpieces over at Staying Blonde. Link in bio.
Here is all you need:
•Succulent cuttings
•Sheet moss
•Hot glue
•Pumpkin

Do you have an essential oil diffuser? Why not make it spooky?
For the month of October I like everything spooky inside and outside of my home. This easy diy Halloween decoration is cute and makes the house smell good. All you need is a diffuser, an inexpensive plastic cauldron and poly fiber-fill. I pull the fill around the diffuser opening, so the it doesn’t get too damp. To to make the project even easier, you can cut out the bottom of the cauldron so all you have to do is set the cauldron on top of your diffuser. I have the full set of directions in the link in my bio.
On another note, Who else used to love the show “Bewitched?” I remember watching reruns of it all the time as a kid. So of course, when I saw this song I had to use it! #diyhalloween #diyhalloweendecorations #diyhalloweendecor #essentialoils #essentialoildiffuser #halloweendecor #halloweenfun #halloweenideas #halloweendecorations

I already broke my promise! I promised myself that I would NOT buy any new Halloween decorations this year. I was doing great until I came across these light-up, floating pumpkins and had to have them! I think they are going to look great in our Halloween tunnel. If you want to check them out, I have them linked in my bio and in my stories. Have you started decorating for Halloween? #halloweendecor #halloweendecorations #floatingpumpkins #halloweenfun
