What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

My most memorable Halloween experiences are the ones I get to share with my kids. I love dressing up alongside them, taking them trick-or-treating, and seeing how excited they get about their costumes and all the candy they collect. Afterward, we usually spend time together watching Halloween movies and enjoying our treats. For me, Halloween is less about being scared and more about making fun memories with my kids that we can look back on as they get older.

Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.

I’d make it to the end of a horror movie because I’m not investigating no random noises, going into no dark basement, or splitting up from the group 😂 The minute something starts feeling off, I’m grabbing my kids, my keys, and getting OUT. I’ve watched way too many horror movies to be making rookie mistakes 😂😭

What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?

If I had $13,000, I’d pay off some debt, put some into savings, do something nice for my kids, and definitely save a little for myself to enjoy 😂 I’d have fun with it, but I’d still try to be responsible because $13,000 can disappear REAL quick 😭

Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?

My oldest daughter would definitely be my real-life hero I’d want to survive a horror movie with. 😂 She’s brave, and I feel like between the two of us, we’d figure out how to survive. We’re definitely not splitting up, investigating weird noises, or going into any dark basements. 😂😭 We’re making it to the end together!
