Blogging with Chelsea

My family has always been big on Halloween. More specifically, my mother has always made it a big deal for my siblings and me. She was the first person to introduce us to the quirkiness of Elvira and her music, our first horror films (and horror comedies, which tend to be my preferred selection even today), and minding the details of Halloween decorating. Happily, the Halloween spirit has continued to haunt me all my life. These days, I do my best to work all the things that I grew up loving about Halloween into my celebrations with my two littles and here on the blog.

I always have the next big project or idea brewing before I even sit down to bring the first one to life. This mindset often gives me the feeling that I am running behind. However, I have really been trying to refocus on the joy on the process over the demand for content supply. I pulled this off when it came to my Arachnid Astrology series, Monster and Boo’s weekly October 2020 cosplays (Gravity Falls, Traditional Ghosts, Over the Garden Wall, & Hocus Pocus), and Be Kind to Spiders Week 2021. I just need to keep reminding myself of what my headspace was like when throwing those together.

It is impossible to ask me to narrow my interests down to just one topic. However, if you take a moment to gander around my blog, you’ll find I love dressing up, drinking tasty cocktails and wines, discovering fun places with delicious cocktails and planning themed parties. As of late, I greatly enjoy spinning my fashion sense into my webdrobe.

When I am not lost within my creative mind, I am sharing my and my family’s adventures both big and small. We’ve done everything from simple home entertainment to convention weekends and fancy vacations. I wouldn’t say we travel as often as we might like, but we find lots of amazing places. We try to plan trips that don’t require us to pack much, because kids rarely pair with packing light.

Speaking of my littles, I am a full-time mother to a seven-year-old inquisitive minded monster and her four-year-old spook of a brother. These two keep my days rather full in the best of ways. Honestly? I would not change a single moment of it. I have to say I really love playing up the spooky mom aspect of motherhood, even giving them adorable nicknames that suit their personalities. Lucky for me, they seem to love the scares as much as I do. My son is obsessed with skeletons and my daughter adores helping me with decorating for all seasons.
