There is so much pressure every October to turn your house into a full-scale haunted house or construct elaborate family costumes from scratch. But honestly? Some of the best memories are the simple ones like going to the pumpkin patch, fall festivals, farms and baking pumpkin recipes with your kids. I think that is where the joy of Halloween is. We live the simple slow life.
If you are looking to keep things cozy, relaxed, and low-stress this season, here are three simple way we are enjoying the spooky season this year.
- The Golden Hour Crisp Morning. Skip the massive outdoor setups and grab few pumpkins that you and your kids carved and put them on the steps with some simple fall décor. Grab your warm coffee, and a cozy sweater and enjoy the sunrise and crisp fall mornings.
- The Nature Walk. Put on one of our soft tee's or sweaters, grab the kids and/or your dog, and take a slow evening walk to enjoy the fall colors and nature. It really is the simple things in life that we forget to enjoy.
- A Cozy Movie Night. Trade the scary haunted houses for a low-key movie night with the family. Bake your favorite pumpkin or Halloween cookies, popcorn and light a fall candle with your favorite Halloween movie.
