Our Favorite Halloween Ideas for Kids
I have a confession: Halloween is just not my favorite holiday. I don’t like scary things, I don’t like feeling scared, and I don’t like to see my kids looking scared. On the other hand, dressing up, candy, and all the games that go with fall and Halloween are fun. But even with those positives, I just don’t get as motivated to be creative for Halloween as I do for Christmas—my favorite holiday. So don’t feel guilty about not being into it. Not every holiday has to be a major overload; choose the holiday you love and go easy on the rest. {Tweet This} And if Halloween holds no appeal for you at all, focus on fall instead.

Fun Fall Ideas and Traditions
Fall is my favorite season. I love the crisp air and getting cozy. When my husband and I first got married I used to love lighting spice candles and making comfort food for us for dinner.
