A friend and I were chatting this morning and remembering our Halloweens as kids. There wasn’t a lot of extra money in either of our households so costumes were generally homemade. A sheet with holes and you were a ghost. My mom had this weird plaid quilt kind of shirt which only came out when we decided to be hobos, complete with a stick, dangling baggage, and dirt on our faces. Her favorite was going as Josie of Pussycat fame with a black body suit, tights, and a tail her grandmother had made. Then there was a time in college when my sis, then boyfriend now hubby, and I went to a Halloween party. Sis made an awesome Cowardly Lion, I was Mickey and hubby was Dracula. We had a blast! Hubby’s cape weighed a fortune and was courtesy of his sis who got us the fabric at her company store! The good ol’ days. Take a moment to share your fav Halloween memories and photos!

Your name in a book and swag! What could be better? Well, maybe winning one of those huge Mega Millions or Powerball jackpots this week. My contest is nowhere near as big, but pretty exciting. For more info, please visit the post below.

We’re still downsizing and packing, but the good news is we closed on our new home and my daughter got engaged! Yeah! The swag giveaway continues. Just visit the post below and follow the directions to be entered for a chance to win a box of awesome swag, including at least one tote bag, t-shirt, book and more.

Running a small business is a tough thing today. That’s why I’m so proud that my daughter managed to stick it out for six long years! So today is a throwback to her first day as the new owner of OG Surf & Skate. Proud of you!
