This is Halloween, This is Halloween!
Sorry if I got that song stuck in your head (#IYKYK), but I figured there was no better way to kick off this blog than talking about the start to the most wonderful time of the year. It’s probably an understatement to say that we’re real big fans of Halloween in this house! My son has had that song from “A Nightmare Before Christmas” memorized basically since he could talk, and used to sleep with a Jack Skellington stuffie at night - ha! I guess you can say the love of all things spooky runs in the family.
We’re known on our block for having a pretty over-the-top Halloween yard display. Every year our family has an ongoing “argument” about when we can put everything up. I say October 1st, but Jeff and Alex are ready the first day there’s even a hint of fall chill in the air. It has been slowly getting earlier each year and secretly? I’m not mad about it.
On that note, here are my top 10 suggestions for decorating the outside of your home for Halloween. Whether you're going for a hauntingly elegant vibe or full-on creepy-crawly chaos like us, these ideas will help you make your outdoor Halloween decor truly spooktacular.
