My favorite part of high school was homecoming week. We had big elaborate themed days where the students went all out. Having a mom who worked in clothing retail and a passion for thrift shopping, I had a wardrobe far beyond our actual economic status. I had clothes for any…
Even though a lot of us (me) think of this primarily as spooky season, for a lot of families this is more like pumpkin season. Or corn maze season. Having been raised in the city, we got our pumpkins at the French Market and there were no fields or corn…
When I was a teenager I’d spend the month of October checking out all the haunted houses in the area. There were so many! I’d spend more time in line than in the haunted house, but I was teenager and had nowhere else to be. It was a great time….
