I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I’m not a huge fan of Halloween. I don’t “hate” it or anything, and I don’t refuse to “do it” but it’s just not something I’ve ever paid a ton of attention to. My kids, however, (like most kids) LOVE Halloween. The dressing up, the trick or treating, and of course the candy.

What I don’t like about Halloween is the scary side of it. Creepy skeletons, bloody eyeballs and all of the gross stuff just doesn’t appeal to me in the slightest. So I’ve been gathering up some ideas to try and make the holiday a little more kid friendly. I discovered a great Halloween Pinterest board from Aladdin that had tons of great ideas. There is also a group board that some pretty fab bloggers are pinning to (like me!), called Fall Favorites. There are great ideas for fall baking and recipes, decorating and more!
