When it comes to local museums, there are a few in the town my grandparents live in. When I was a kid, I never took the time to really explore them or learn much when it came to being outside of school. Now that I am older, and appreciate the museums that I go too, I wanted to go to the Slate Valley Museum right in the middle of the town. There are tons of signs around, which declare Granville as the slate capitol of the world, so I did want to know exactly what made this small town a popular place when it come to an export as simple as slate.
When it comes to Halloween time, I really love the idea of having special Halloween bath bombs! I love themes and feel Halloween should leak into every aspect of my day to day life, including, of course, self care time. This year’s Pretty Suds bath bomb box has some really lovely bombs – all of them are so big and so good at fitting the spooky theme. Unlike some of Pretty Suds previous boxes, the New Moon box does not have names for their bombs, so I have made these up. Let’s get into the box.
[Ad- gifted product]Â The moon, hanging up in the sky, is often something more talked about during the autumn months. I always have an interested in space, the moon, stars, and everything astrological – I guess it comes with the name. So, when I saw The Moon Almanac, I became pretty excited to learn about the moon! The book itself is really beautiful, with a dark blue color and lots of halo, rainbow highlights to the words and designs on the book.
As it was our friend Quang‘s birthday, as well as Dann’s birthday this month, we decided to all meet up and go to Absurd Bird’s unlimited wing Wednesday. They do have a time limit of an hour and a half, and none of us were shoveling food into our face, but we still got our money’s worth! The first order of wings you pick is a 8 wing bucket, with each top-up being a 4 wing bucket. This deal also comes with fries, but the fries were not crispy and not great – just some filler.
Cammas Hall is a place we do go from time to time, mainly to pick fruits. It’s local, always has great produce, and is just a fun day out for the family. This year, they are doing a special, ticketed, Halloween event – alongside a Corn Maize and their regular pick your own pumpkin patch. We wanted the full experience – so we grabbed the Halloween tickets and headed over.
These tickets basically allow you to go through a spooky trail, which is very children friendly. The area is covered over, so that it is a bit dark and a bit spooky. All along the trail, there has been spider webs, decorations and animatronics. If you walk slowly down, you will find brooms hidden among the branches, spider webs with big fake spiders in them, and areas that you can interact with. We ended up touching the dials on a TV and watching it come to life, claiming it was stealing my soul. Ghosts fly back and forth on the path, and otherwise there is just a lot to see and take in. Nothing at Cammas Hall is too scary – Robin, who is the youngest of our family, walked through it perfectly fine, only commenting on the spider that jumps out as being scary.
