Halloween has always been my fave holiday unfortunately living throughout Asia and Europe for the past 2 decades means I haven’t been able to celebrate a “proper” All Hallows’ Eve for over 20 years, fortunately being back in Canada means this year I get to introduce my kiddo to the joys of DIY costumes and trick or treating, hooray!
