Happy October, fiends, and welcome to the most wonderful time of the year, the October countdown to Halloween! I've participated in the "31 Days of Halloween" since 2010 (you can check out past posts here), but this year is going to be a bit different...unlike past years I won't be posting every day, but will try my best to bring you a Halloween treat as often as possible!
You can also keep up with my Halloween adventures on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and Pinterest!
I also wanted to share with you my bucket list of things I want to do this wonderful season! I'm sure I've missed a few things and I know I won't be able to get to everything on the list, but here is my bucket list so far for autumn:
