Wow. How is it that time of year already? “Hocus Pocus” is playing nonstop on TV and every social media newsfeed is covered with pumpkin-related food, clothing or talk. Personally, this is my favorite time of year because of the creativity. There are so many ways to show your creative side during October, thanks to Halloween. There’s Halloween baking and snacks, costumes, and you can even show off your creativity with pumpkin painting.
