Remember when we were growing up and we couldn’t wait for the Halloween specials every year? Yeah, me neither. Although, to be fair, we did have It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown which was definitely one of my favorites. We rooted for Linus as he waited for the Great Pumpkin, something only he believed in but … Read more
When the weather turns cooler and the leaves start falling, it’s time to turn away from fun outdoor activities and buckle down for the impending winter chill. NOT TRUE! Fall is one of my absolute favorite times to get outdoors. It’s usually chilly enough that I can get away with a scarf or sweater but … Read more
It was the best of time, it was the worst of times… If you’re a total fan of Charles Dickens, you’ll know that those are the immortal words of opening narration of “A Tale of Two Cities.” Or, if you’re like me and you can’t stand anything written by Charles Dickens (except for “A Christmas Carol”), you … Read more

It’s not hard to be the cool mom on Halloween. My biggest piece of advice to participate! You’re probably thinking Halloween is for kids, right? They love to dress up. We do, too. Only in more expensive designer duds, not in costumes. They love candy. We do, too. Only our waistlines don’t. They love to … Read more
I miss Halloween of yore. I mean, sure, we had razor blades in apples and poisoned candy and all the stuff that went along with Halloween in the 70s. But we didn’t worry about peanut-free, gluten-free, food dye, and strangers. Not too much anyway. My biggest worry on Halloween night was whether or not it … Read more
I have to be honest. I’m a big scaredy cat. I freak out over spiders. I’m scared of the dark. And I can’t stand to watch horror movies. I don’t even like super tense action movies. I prefer to live in my world of rainbows and unicorns. My 6 year old son, Evan, however, likes … Read more
If you were looking for a history lesson in the origins of Halloween, you’ll need to visit a much more reputable source like Wikipedia. I’m here to talk about Halloween through my son’s ages.
