Halloween with Avocados from Mexico
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Avocados from Mexico for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
I love Pinterest. Don’t you? I swear, I could lose eleven hours a day there if I allowed it.
I’d not admit to it, though.
I especially like using it for holiday ideas: Christmas, Thanksgiving recipes, and of course, Halloween. Now that Seven is in kindergarten, I need to be THAT mom – the mom with the cool snacks to take in, hoping it makes him a rockstar.
So I turn to Pinterest.
I was recently turned on to a reason to spend time on Pinterest…a Pin to Win contest.
Sweet. I’ll accept any reason to Pin. ANY. REASON.
But this one, it’s a good reason.
Avocados from Mexico is giving away prizes for folks with the best Halloween pinboards.

In case you are interested, here’s a few things I found to pin…and I can’t decide which I like best. What about you?
