If leopard is a neutral, then colorful leopard -- or zebra -- is a party animal. And of all those colors, none throws a rager like red. Because nothing says "pump up the volume" like ferocious flame or carnivorous crimson.

Unless it's plain Jane brown and tan bedecked with big, black bows.

So thank you, Madden Girl coat. I may not be much of a partier, but you've made me feel like the belle of the snowball. 🎉⛄

And by harvest I don't mean produce, but stuff that looks like produce but is plastic. That's right. I've changed my décor -- and wardrobe -- from creepy to cozy in honor of the oft overlooked Thanksgiving. This is new for me this year, just as decking the halls with skulls was new for me last Halloween. It looks like I'm turning into my mother after all -- which, Mom, if you're reading, I mean in the best way possible!

Speaking of motherhood, I was decorating the fireplace while Char Bar watched from her blanket. She was screaming up a storm, which she does when she's excited and/or frustrated. So I shouldn't have been surprised when she rolled over onto her stomach for the very first time! She couldn't roll back onto her back, though, so I had to turn her over. Undeterred, she proceeded to roll -- and scream -- three more times as I kept one eye on her and one on my tchotchkes. She hasn't stopped since, and I'm sure next year I'll be working overtime to prevent her from playing kickball with the pumpkins.

Some harvest that'll be!

Sugar Skull Bits and Halloween Fits

There are costumes, and then there are costumes. When it comes to Halloween, the husband has always been more of a DIY than a costume-in-a-bag kind of guy. So over the years for my parents' Halloween party, he's devised the following disguises:

- Guy Fieri & The Pioneer Woman (not implying they're a couple!)

- Bob Ross & his Happy Little Tree

- Johnny Atkins & Carla from The Goldbergs

- The Brawny Man & the Sparkles Fairy

- Mr. Clean & a '50s Housewife

But this year, the husband didn't have time to come up with something homegrown, so we went on Amazon and found these Day of the Dead getups. Although we've never gone for something scary, I admit that these edgy and -- this part is very important -- not at all gory, dark side ensembles helped me get into the Halloween spirit. On a lighter note, I loved the rainbow bows bisecting my ribcage.
