Typically when we think of buying costumes for our kids…we think Halloween. However, here at our home we buy little girl’s costumes all year long because Gia loves to play dress-up with them! This year her favorite movie is Frozen and she is into everything …
Did you know that the month of October is popcorn month? My family is big popcorn eaters and we love all different kinds of popcorn. Sometimes we enjoy it plain, sometimes with a little butter or other popcorn seasonings on it and my newest way …
Good morning everyone! Happy hump day Wednesday…we are 1/2 way to the weekend and here in the mid Atlantic states it is supposed to be a beautiful weekend with high temps around 84. Yay!!! I love weather like this in October!
Today’s Topic: I was watching the news this morning about parent’s being outraged about some of the inappropriate Halloween costumes being marketed towards little kids (mainly toddlers). Apparently Walmart yanked off their shelves a costume called “Naughty Kitty” and they showed it on the news. First…I didn’t see anything naughty or sexy about that costume. I thought it was cute. The word “naughty” can mean many different things and there was nothing “sexual” about that costume in my parental eyes. With that said…I do think there are some really inappropriate costumes out there for little kids. I would NEVER dress my child as a hooker/stripper nor my son for that matter. We never left our daughter dress as anything sexual or evil (she was not allowed to dress as the devil or witch either). Sorry…we are Catholic and we do have some standards when it comes to costumes. So let’s hear it from all of you! What are your thoughts on this topic today?
We had a few giveaways close late last night so we do have winners to announce this morning. As always, we spend time every morning validating entries, trashing out the cheater entries and then randomly select a winner using random.org. We then double check that persons entry to make sure it’s legit and then finalize it.
Winner for the accent skin care products: Teresa Thompson
Winner for the Suzanne Bowen Fitness DVD: Michelle Henriquez
Congratulations to both of our lucky winners this morning. I will be emailing each of you shortly. Thanks & have a great Wednesday!!!
Halloween is going to be here before you know it! It is coming and already the retail stores are prepared for it…are you? For me personally, I am not even started yet and have a lot of decorations and candy to buy and then I …
Good morning everyone! Happy Hump Day Wednesday! How is your week going so far? Mine has been super busy and I have been fighting some sickness this week too. Ugh…getting through it but wish I could just sleep away this week. Today’s Topic – For …
I love to decorate my home and my outdoor spaces (including the yard) as the seasons change. When our daughter was really little, we went all out on decorating our home. Then a few years ago we got lazy and only did a little bit of decorating because we no longer had children at home.
Well, things are changing again! Now that we will be moving into our new house in 3 weeks, we have been busy doing some inside and outside holiday decorating again! We are now excited and found our energy to get out all of our Fall and Thanksgiving decorations and that is mostly due to having a 3 1/2 year old grandchild who is excited about all of the upcoming holidays.
My question for all of you today is this…
How many of you do indoor and/or outdoor decorating for the Thanksgiving holiday? Do you only do a little bit of decorating or do you go “all out” for the Thanksgiving holiday? What kinds of things do you like to use in your decorating?
My hubby just ordered a really cool Turkey that inflates for our front yard and that thing should be here any day. I think the Princess Gia is going to love it when she sees it!
This coming weekend he is going to put up some of our holiday lights, our outdoor holiday flags and some other yard art decorations that we have.
Good morning everyone! Happy Halloween! I would like to thank everyone for sending me messages on Facebook, our Blog and on Twitter. My family is fine and we survived Hurricane Sandy. Later today, I will try to write up a detailed blog post of what we …
A few weeks ago we took Princess Gia to the local Pumpkin Patch to pick some pumpkins for Halloween. After spending an hour at the Pumpkin Patch, she selected 2 beautiful pumpkins. We brought them home and her daddy asked her what kind of design …
