I’ve spent a good part of the past four months in a beautiful place.

Slater Park is one of my favorite places to be.  Not only is it pretty, it has so much to offer.

The picturesque landscape,

Interesting architecture,

And plenty of benches just inviting you to rest and relax.

The park is always a quiet, peaceful place, yet it’s bustling with activity.  From baseball to tennis to soccer, there are little athletes at every turn.  There’s also running.  Lots and lots of running!

Sean and I ran a 5K (his first official 5K!) in this park on October 16th.

We stuck together the entire time and soaked in experience.

Slater Park holds a special place in our hearts.  Not only is the park a great backdrop for a run on fall afternoon, it’s the perfect place to walk through on cool evening.

At least a few times a week, we walk the three miles through the park.  With only the crunch of the leaves beneath our feet, we’re able to chat about our day, unwind, and recharge for the next big adventure.

I look forward to spending many special moments in Slater Park.  Whether it’s a morning run or an evening stroll, a concert by the water or the upcoming Winter Wonderland, the time spent in the park is always full of smiles.

Do you have a special place to relax, unwind, and recharge?

Sean and I are pretty excited about the holidays.

We get that Halloween isn’t exactly one of the holidays, but it’s still a holiday.  We’re not letting it pass us by!  We started the celebrating over the weekend when we bundled up for the Jack-O-Lantern SPOOKtacular at Roger Williams Park in Providence.

Who knew that carved pumpkins could be so beautiful?  It was quite a sight.

There were pumpkins of all different shapes and sizes, sporting artwork from local carvers. Spooooky!  And inspiring!

In honor of “Snowtober,” we carved a little pumpkin of our own – a snowflake!

With our initials, of course.  Lucky for us, carving pumpkins provides all sorts of creepy photo ops.

We jumped right on that.

Even though our design was a little ambitious for our amateur carving skills, we pulled it off…and we have the pumpkin seeds to show for it.

All that weekend fun was just the beginning.  We’re keeping the Halloween fun going now that the day is actually here.

Funfetti-style.

The funfetti is critical to holiday success.  We’re having a group of family and friends over tonight to “oohh” and “aahh” over the cute trick-or-treaters, eat sweets, and admire our decor share in the festivities.

Happy Hauntings!

Did you know???  Snickers is the most popular Halloween candy.  I learned that at trivia a few weeks ago…but I’m a Reese’s girl through and through!
