Halloween ROCKS, right?! My family loves this time of year…Pumpkins, haunted houses, and of course, the excuse to dress up!
I’ve joined forces with some fellow local bloggers to share Southeast Michigan Halloween Happenings, and since I live in Livingston County, I’m covering this area. I’ve dropped in a few bonus ideas for Ingham and Genesee counties too since I typically cover those areas as well 😀 Happy Halloween-ing!
