Ever since we moved away from Phoenix, my supermarket of choice has been Publix. (For day to day things. I also like Fresh Market and Harris Teeters, but I tend to shop those when I need special foods.) Last night I had a bit of a sweet tooth going on.Continue Reading

This October on my evening strolls with my dog, I had a little fun taking pics of my haunted neighborhood. It was fun to see so many people participating this year. I thought it’d be fun to present my findings with a photo essay. Happy Halloween!Continue Reading

Today I added a couple of local events to the Paranormal Events page and felt bad. Sometimes I forget about all the things to do in Nashville, especially the haunted and Halloween variety. It seems I get focused on researching our next big trip and forget about the daytrips availableContinue Reading

My friend Gene shared a haunted house experience that terrifies me just thinking about it: Blackout. I had never heard of it before Gene clued me in. (Not surprising, given that I’m a haunted house weenie.) He sent me a link to an article about someone who went through it.Continue Reading

In years past I put a lot of effort into a Halloween Blog Party here at Haunt Jaunts. This year I’ve been too disorganized to do a formal party, but I do love giveaways. And I love Halloween. Can’t let the season pass me by all together without having someContinue Reading

I was trying desperately to get HJ’s newest endeavor, the Haunt Jaunts Halloween Emporium, up and running well before October. Sadly, like so many of my big ideas, it didn’t quite happen the way I’d envisioned. However, better late than never right? I’m pleased to announce that for all intentsContinue Reading

SpiritHalloween.com is not just one of my affiliates, it’s also one of my favorite places to shop for Halloween. If I was more handy like so many of you, I’d make more of my decorations and costumes. But since I’m not, I’m thankful for Spirit because I love their selection,Continue Reading

I don’t know about you, but come August I’m ready to start my Halloween shopping. Two of my favorite Halloween shopping spots, SpiritHalloween.com and Halloween Express, are running deals in August. (This is also as good a place as any to make a DISCLAIMER: I participate in affiliate marketing programsContinue Reading

Halloween is fast approaching. I know. I can hear some of you saying, “It’s only mid-July, Courtney. It’s still summer. Halloween is a long way away.” Oh no, my friends, Halloween is inching ever closer and will be here before we know it. I’m starting early this year. Over theContinue Reading

Last week I finally got the heads up that’s it okay to go ahead and start promoting my latest venture. I’m super excited to announce Haunt Jaunts the blog is now heading to cable network TV in the form of a new show on the Travel Channel called, “The ParanormalContinue Reading

As the days grow longer and the end of March draws near, I find myself remembering back to the time when my will to live was renewed. I’d made it through several rounds of chemo. I still had a few left to do, plus radiation to go. But I wasContinue Reading

Spirits of the alcoholic variety are on my mind today because everywhere I look I’m reminded it’s St. Patrick’s Day. The green beer is flowing freely even in places that don’t have any Irish claim to fame. I’m not necessarily a fan of green beer, though. I know it doesn’tContinue Reading
