I kind of have a slight obsession with any run that throws color at you…. especially one that throws glow in the dark color. I recently participated in The Color Run Night Run on Belle Isle and it was so much fun, I loved how much the colors were glowing under the black lights. Have you done any races lately?

Happy Halloween! I\’m not a huge fan of Halloween, however I cannot help but fall in love with Tillson Street in Romeo, Michigan. The home owners of the street go all out for Halloween, here\’s a peek at the haunted street.

While I may not be a fan of Halloween, I am a huge fan of fun Halloween treats, and this past weekend I got together with my mum to create these adorable Frankenstein monsters. They\’re quick and easy to make, and would make a fun little candy project to create with kids.

How to create a monster:
1. Dip square pretzels in green chocolate.
2. Add brown sprinkles to the top for the hair.
3. Add the candy eyes.
4. Create the candy mouth and add the red sprinkles for the cut by the eye.
5. Drip pretzel pieces into the green chocolate and attach to either side of Frankenstein\’s head.

When I dip, you dip, we dip into the delicious flavors of pumpkin spice dip. This dip
is creamy, and bursting with the best flavor fall has to offer…pumpkin. This fall pumpkin
dip is going to be the biggest hit at your next get-together, and can be served with slices
of apples, vanilla wafers or graham crackers. The pumpkin dip also makes a delicious

whoopie pie filling, or used to top mini puff pastry desserts.

Ingredients:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, room temperature
2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 cups whipped topping (Cool Whip)

2. Stir in pumpkin and all spices.
3. Gently fold in whipped topping.
4. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.

Travel Diaries: Sleeping Bear Dunes

M22 offers a plethora of outdoor adventures, and is one of my favorite places to drive around and make stops – especially in the fall. On a recent trip, the weather was less than perfect; in fact I spent most of the time dodging raindrops – although I did manage to make it to Sleeping BearDunes. Sleeping Bear Dunes are located just west of Traverse City, and while the trek up them is tiring the view is amazing, and even better when you make it down by Lake Michigan (which I did not do, because it started raining). Once you finish the dune climb head over to Cherry Republic for samples, ice cream, delicious food and more!
