Happy 10th month of the year, my pretties!
It's finally here. {Good golly, she's finally HERE!}
31 whole days of orange and black beauty.
I die.
I've made a ghoul...err, I mean a GOAL!...to post at least something Halloweeny every single day of this marvelous month. This holiday speaks to my soul. It hugs my heart. Enchants my thoughts. I swoon at the very mention of it. Weak in the knees? Yep, that's how I be! I'm not yet sure exactly what the heck kind of content you're going to find on here for the next few wicked weeks, but I hope you'll join me for a frightfully fun time.

FRANKENBERRIES.

| Me and my main squeeze. |
Yeah, I said it. {The Sensational Strawberry Sweetheart of my very existence.} Coco and Big M. raised SheShe and I on these. They were cool parents. Gotta say it. Sure, they monitored our sugar intake...{ahem...in front of people!}...but behind the scenes, I have to give credit where credit's due. My 'rents made a mad dash every October 1st to stock us up on Frankenberries. They never even thought twice about it. {That's hella cool.} Even when I was in college, they'd send me autumn care packages, and the face of this Gorgeous Goon would greet me as soon as FedEx sped away. I loved that even though I was exactly 496 miles away from them, it was heartwarming to know that they were thinking of me. They remembered! {#magical}

For reals - the sight of these precious pink princes is sometimes just too much for me to handle, lol. I'm serious! They take me back to such a joyful, purely pleasant time - childhood! Carefree, sunshiney, comforting days. I know that whenever October rolls around, this Magenta Monster will greet me on the end cap of an aisle. He'll be joined by his Buddy in Blue and a Chocolatey Chew. I'll never tire of that display.
In life, it's always nice to have something to hang onto - to call your own - to make you smile - to count on - to make you get all da feels. This cereal is one-a-doze things for dis 'ol daughter! Posting an ode to a breakfast food is so super random, I know. But sometimes random can be darn delicious!
Grab yourself a bowl, honey, and go heavy on the marshmallows. I said so.
