With Halloween right around the corner I am already dreading the sugar high aftermath. I always sort through the treats that my kids get on Halloween and leave some for them, stash some for me, but I always end up with tons left over.

Halloween Decorations
This Halloween my son gave me a challenge. Instead of my usual cute Halloween decorations he wanted spooky and scary decorations for our home.

Out for Dinner…With the Kids!
Growing up my family had a tradition of going to a local pizzeria for dinner almost every Friday night. It was a tiny restaurant that had a jukebox in the back and my sister and I loved waiting to hear our weekly selections…our favorites were always Pat Benatar’s Hit Me With Your Best Shot andContinue reading “Out for Dinner…With the Kids!”
