Me and my new BFF.

Ah, Halloween.  That special time of year when we celebrate death and the candy that brings us closer to it.  For me, it also means neon décor and busting out my pumpkin bag.  Also, figuring out the family costumes for my parents' monster mash bash.  I'll admit to phoning it in this year, as far as the husband and I are concerned.  Dwarves are a dime (a diamond?) a dozen, but Charlotte made the sweetest Snow White.  

And that's it for this year's bag of tricks.  I hope you had a scary sweet Halloween too! 🎃🖤👻

Fall brings out the cowgirl in me.  And also, strangely, the schoolmarm.  I don't know if it's the weather or the home-on-the-range vs. home-school vibe.  But when the leaves change, one thing's for sure.  I'll be on the corner of order and chaos. 🤠📕👢
