I love Autumn! Love love love it. First of all, hello, October is my birth month. So, hooray there. Then, the air is crisp and clean and still warms up to t-shirt weather in the afternoons.

And then, there's Halloween. The perfect holiday. You don't have to spend it with family, there's no gifting, you can be ugly and scary or a pretty pretty princess, you can eat as many "Fun-Size" bars as you want...

I really didn't think my love for this season could be enhanced until, as we were setting out the decorations today, my daughter spotted a big-ass spiderweb in the corner of our living room. I went to grab the broom, and she said "But Mom - it's so AUTHENTIC."

Yeah, baby. I got dust fairies AND hard-core, authentic Halloween decor. Toss me a mini Snickers. Life is good.
