It’s getting closer! And I really hope that I will be able to fit into my costume. My husband and I are dressing as Princess Peach and Mario if all goes well. Yes, we are totally cheesy like that, but hey, we love that game!
Martha Stewart completely rocks my Halloween world. She has always had some of the greatest ideas for the holiday, and I just love how much she loves Halloween. I recently got an email with pumpkin carving ideas in it, and this image is just one of the examples.
We didn’t get a huge pumpkin crop this year like we did last year. In fact, this year we got two adorable little pumpkins, and one massive pumpkin. Our massive pumpkin is no world record setter, but I am worried about how heavy it is going to be! Can’t wait to put it on the scale and find out.
Do you carve pumpkins in your house? What do you do with all the “guts”? Do you roast pumpkin seeds?
If you are dressing up this year, what do you plan to dress up as?
As you may (or may not) already know, my previous blog had been having server issues of epic proportions! Despite everything that my tech genius of a hubby did, we still continued to get suspended, and things just kept on happening. We have some suspicions on what was going wrong, and even wonder if we got hacked. Our host kept saying that we would need a dedicated server, and well, we just can’t afford to do that. Especially if it wouldn’t actually solve the problem.
My husband doesn’t give up though, once he gets a problem to solve, he keeps on working the problem. So there may still be hope for my old blog yet. Sadly, as of right now it has gone to the digital graveyard.
But, there is always an upside. This blog that you are reading right now kind of has me excited. In fact, I am a little miffed that self hosted WordPress doesn’t have nearly the same amount of features as this one. Cool features aside, it’s fun to think of starting a new blog with a focus on healthy living and food. Ever since stumbling across some awesome food/heatlh blogs recently, I found my posts leaning more and more that way. Of course, as the title of this blog suggests, it’s about a happy, healthy, life. So of course, LIFE, and all that goes with it would still be a part of the blog, just like on my old one. But there would be a lot more food and such.
Of course, my husband could work his magic and bring my old blog back to life too… but for now you will find me here. And on my Tumblr. Happy to see some of you have found me here already.

As one who LOVES Halloween, I was really excited to be able to go to the witches festival today with my in-laws. It was super fun, and the weather outside was absolutely summer like. In fact, I have decided to call this month Octugust instead of October because it feels much more like August.
In addition to some seriously fun decorations, there was tons of fun shopping. I tried to hold back and stick to our debt busting plan, so I only bought one cute little BOO (wood, covered in purple glitter), and some unique candy for my husband. We ate lunch at the bakery, which was not the tastiest lunch in the world, but it was filling. I even splurged on a pumpkin shaped sugar cookie that I thought was going to be so yummy! Sadly it wasn’t nearly as yummy as I had hoped. Oh well, I can always bake my own instead!!
It was nice to be able to get away from the usual routine for a bit. And celebrating a little Halloween early is always a good thing. It was also a great excuse to wear a witches hat too!
Have you noticed how much your outer world can affect your inner? For example, when my house is a mess, especially when the kitchen is a mess, it makes it a lot harder to want to cook. On the flip side, when things are clean and organized, cooking healthy, tasty, meals is a breeze. Everything runs more smoothly when everything has a place and is nice and neat.
When I get up in the morning and put on work out clothes, guess what happens? I end up working out! And when I am feeling a bit blah and not so great, I find if I put on a cute outfit and put a little effort into looking better I actually end up feeling better too!
Sometimes, it really can help to work from the outside in.
