As if 2020 hasn’t been crazy enough….October 31, 2020 will showcase a rare blue moon! What is a blue moon? When a second full moon illuminates the sky in the same month, it is referred to as a blue moon. It’s not actually blue in color…it is just so uncommon that it was given this special name. I’m sure you have heard the saying, “Once in a blue moon.” That saying is obviously used when things are rare! We brought October 1, 2020 in with the Harvest Moon and will be saying goodbye to October on October 31 with a rare Halloween blue moon.
There are many different thoughts regarding this phenomenon occurring in 2020. I like to think of it as Halloween is going to be a little different for us this year, so we are being given this extra little treat! Instead of trying to blur our thoughts with another weird happening…let’s celebrate this unusual experience.

Make Some Snacks ~
There are so many different treats that you can buy that are already blue in color. But let’s get crazy and make some fun “blue” snacks for the family. They don’t have to be “moon” themed, but it will be extra fun if you create some recipes that still have the spooky Halloween flair to them while still being blue:
