We’re heading into my favorite time of the year! October thru December are my three favorite months of the year and it all starts with Halloween! I don’t know what it is, but ever since I was a little kid, I’ve LOVED Halloween. My hope is that Lily loves it even half as much as I do. Otherwise, she’ll be forced to enjoy it anyway because we go all out in this house! ;)

We put up our Halloween decor last weekend and I realized that one thing we didn’t have a lot of was lighted decor. I wanted to change that since we love to have Halloween movie nights all throughout October so I came up with this super easy tea light jack-o-lantern DIY! These are really fun and simple to put together so you can make a ton to go in every room of your house!
