Relax... It's Only Halloween

All month long, I was very busy attending conferences around Poptropica in regards to the fresh 2015 PoptropicaStars - Relax line that will be revealed when the opening hours of each Madeline's Closet boutique premieres for the new year. More information will be brought out before then.

In addition to the upcoming styles, Nathan and I have been redecorating the house, RSVP'ing 20 guests, planning the menu, and shelling out pumpkin seeds to make a jack-o-lantern for a trick-proof Halloween party. Knowing how I handle stress, a million ounces of work can not be finished by frantically rushing. The most important thing I do while preparing for a festivity like this is relax, soothe my senses, and envision a therapeutic 5-minute-massage.

This pumpkin took three hours to carve, but the face is timeless. :) Haha.

You can't have a party without the essential "part"; that is what we call food. The menu is being finalized as I am obligated to make half of the dishes and a caterer will deliver the remaining savors two hours before showtime. Here is the lovely menu.

MY DISHES:

• Lots of Toasted Pumpkin Seeds (with and without dashes of paprika)
• Salt And Olive Oil Popcorn
• Roasted Acorn Squash stuffed with Rice, Bell Peppers, Kale, And Mozzarella
• Peanut and Milk Chocolate M&M's, Candy Corn, and Peanut Butter Cups to grab anytime
• Orange-Lime Punch

CATERER'S DISHES:

• Bacon-Wrapped Pepper Poppers
• B.L.T. (Beef, Lettuce, Tomatillo) Sliders
• Chocolate and Vanilla Ice Cream
• Strawberry Pie
• Lemonade and Licorice Margaritas

I simply can't wait for October 31st!
