Hello, friends! We aren’t going anywhere specific today. Yes, you heard us right. We have put on our fall pants and are welcoming cooler weather to our hellishly hot state of Indiana. So, we did arts and crafts. We made a delicious dinner. We crafted some homemade alcoholic mulled cider. And Jordan took us to TWO states we should visit for a solid fall experience — based on this Travel and Leisure article. 10/10 would recommend this day, guys. 

As always, we also dove into a fall-esque ~spooky~ subject. Today, we’re diving into the urban legend of needles in candy. Our research was based off of this Wikipedia article on poisoned candy myths. The rabbit hole is deep, our friends.
