I'm Moving

Hey if there is anyone that even still reads this: I am moving! Lately I have read several stories about moms who make a living off their blogs. It has got me thinking maybe I should really try to be better at blogging and see if I can't make a few extra bucks while I'm at it. So I've decided to try my hand at it. But compared to the other successful blogs I've looked at I didn't feel like this blog (title and design) was that catchy to draw an audience so I've made a new blog. You can start following me there if you'd like: Little Country Corner.
I'm still making a few adjustments to my design and will be practicing to get myself in the habit of posting regularly before I start making an effort to draw in a large audience so if you have any suggestions I would love to hear them. Thanks and this will be my last post on this blog.

Halloween, Country Style

Do you remember when you were in elementary school and you got to parade around the school in your Halloween costume for all the other kids in school? Well in our small town that elementary parade is bigger and better! They didn't just have the kids parade around the school, they bussed them all over to Main Street and they did a parade for the whole town!!! And all the business came out and give the kids candy as they went by. How cool is that! Only in
a small town! I love it!
Our Halloween was an entire weekend production and so much fun. They had the parade Friday morning. Then friday night a big Halloween carnival. Saturday morning we went to a party with some friends. And then Saturday night the fire department, police, and ambulance hosted a trunk or treat. It was so much fun for the kids to get to trick or treat at an ambulance and fire truck and police cars! And of course trick or treating afterwards. We will have candy for years.
I love that in a small town there are so many more activities that can be done that don't happen in the city. It makes the holidays that much more fun. Oh how I love the country!
