This rich and creamy cheesecake is flecked with cinnamon, topped with apples and full of melty caramel. It’s the perfect dessert for a farmer’s market or apple picking day – you can make the cheesecake ahead of time and add the apple topping with time to set before serving or top the chilled cheesecake with […]
My mom used to decorate for every single holiday and season when I was a kid. Of course, things always got exciting when October approached. There was natural and crafted bounty galore: pumpkins, gourds, and hay bales from the farmers market, homemade scarecrows, paper bats, leaves, spider webs, and jack-o-lanterns. It’s a tradition I’ve […]
One thing that you can expect to find here at Funtober are fall foliage reports as the leaves start changing. If you live in the vicinity of one of these fall foliage drives, it is easy to pile in the car on the right weekend to see the trees when they have the maximum amount […]
I realized at the end of August that I couldn’t run Funtober alone. I must have been delusional for the first half of the year. How did I ever expect to sell Halloween costumes, post to the Funtober blog, run five directories of Fall fun AND sleep? So I found some help. Three new friends […]
When I started working on Funtober last December, October seemed so far away. Now it is right around the corner. I don’t even have to look at the calendar in order to know. As I step outside in the morning, I can feel it in the air. I’ve consumed my first bag of candy corn […]
The Travel Channel definitely has the Halloween spirit this year. You can enjoy the seventh season of Ghost Adventures, the second season of the Dead Files and the first season of Paranormal Papparazzi. Of definite interest to Funtober readers will be the second season of Making Monsters and the one hour special called Halloween Crazier. […]
I spent the weekend working on the costume store. Visitors started emailing me last week asking when they could purchase a Halloween costume here at Funtober. The answer is: Now! The store isn’t perfect. My list of things to improve is long. But: “If you aren’t embarrassed by what you launch with, then you waited […]
There’s a special reason to run by Starbucks this morning as you clear off the cobwebs from the three day weekend. Pumpkin Spice Latte! Available starting today. It must be the first day of Fall! Photo by idogcow.
I started Funtober in part to give myself a great excuse to participate in more fall fun. I work way too hard not to take more breaks and enjoy life. Yesterday, I took a break from building Funtober to attend the Arden Fair in Delaware. But there was plenty that I thought you would be […]
I know that Fall technically starts September 22nd. But I don’t think anyone will arrest us for celebrating fall a little bit early this year. Labor Day weekend really does feel like the start of Fall. And the calendar has turned from August to September. Let’s look at what’s happening this weekend: Halloween Costumes!! Thanks […]
