These are great ideas! Yoga to a spooky playlist sounds interesting and while I have never carved a pumpkin I’d definitely like to give it a try!
Ellie,
You should pumpkin carve this year. It’s so much fun!
I wouldn’t know how to classify them according to categories. You did great there. Trick or treat and attending festivals and dressing up are my fav parts of it all. But keeping a check on finances and self care tops. Knowing the happy and healthy way to do it. Great one. Xx
