Jerome, Arizona has become one of the largest known ghost towns. I mean literally... a ghost town. A town that thrived during the copper mining era, now welcomes tourism and encourages tourists to go ghost hunting. And also stay at the haunted hotel that was once a hospital. Can you say spooky?

Candy. Halloween IS candy. It is your one excuse to stuff your face with all of your sugary favorites. It is not Halloween without it. Chocolate, gummies, lollipops, you name it! And hey... you're never 'too old' to go trick or treating... well... maybe once you're old enough to drive a car. So, instead, go drive to the store and buy your candy!

DIY Halloween Costumes

If you're like me and don't want to spend all of your money on Halloween costumes, I say make them yourself. It can be fun to look on Pinterest and see what fun ideas you can come up with. Goodwill is always a great place to find pieces for your costumes and you can even look in your own wardrobe. I'm sure you have something! Get your vampire on!
