Holiday Season

It doesn’t hurt to plan ahead. This especially goes for Christmas. There’s no denying that you have a much greater chance of finding everything on that list if you begin early in the year. Not to mention you won’t have to battle all those horrendous crowds. But what about Halloween? Do you take the initiative to prepare early for this exciting occasion? If your answer is no, then I suggest you reconsider. By inquiring what your children want to wear early on in the year, you definitely get a convenient grasp on things. Besides all of the great costumes are sold out once October hits. So, find out what your little trick-or-treator wants to go as this Halloween. You may need some Read the rest of this entry »

Well, I’m getting the decorations up; how about you? There’s not muchtime left now. Yes indeed, that frightening day where anything can occur is upon us. You’d might as well stock up on the candy and prepare for hundreds of tiny monsters, goblins, ghouls, witches, werewolves, and vampires. We all know what happens if you don’t offer them something. They could inflict a terrible wrath of destruction on you and your family. Or they could simply whimper and go tell their parents. I’m talking about trick-or-treators here; not real demons. Although I did read that the treats were originally given Read the rest of this entry »

There are so many things to think about when planning a wedding –invitations, catering, flowers, and lets not forget the bridesmaids dresses.  All of this takes time and energy and if you have to go to each individual store you may soon find yourself running out of both.

There was a time when a bridesmaid dress was something that was only worn once and then lived at the back of the closet until someone discovered it and wore it as a Halloween costume many years later.  Now though, most brides want their bridesmaids to feel that they’ll be able to wear their dress again in the future for another dressy event.  Although the bridesmaid should never outshine the bride, the bridesmaids dresses should allow the bridesmaid to enhance the Read the rest of this entry »

If you have little boys, you know that they love to dress up as all types of things, and they don’t care if it is Halloween or not. You have probablyalready fashioned some things for them on your own, like the cape made from a bed sheet, or perhaps the mask you drew, traced, or printed out on your computer. Little boys often have a very strong opinion about what they want when it comes to boys Halloween costumes, and as you may know as well, it may not be worth taking the time to argue with them about it. You are not going to win this one.

Most boys end up fascinated with one thing or another, and that thing is usually something they have seen on television or in a movie. I remember Read the rest of this entry »

Do you have children? If the answer is yes, then you’re probably fully aware of their habits. Yes indeed, they do have some strange ones. Oh, and of course they have some fun and amusing ones as well. One of the most prominent and exciting habits that I believe pretty much all children share is the desire to dress up. What does your child like to pretend he/she is for the day? My seven year old daughter goes completely crazy with this game. She loves to make-believe that she is anyone from a witch to a vampire to a princess Read the rest of this entry »

The typical Sunday school lessons involve the teacher reading chapters of the Bible, followed by questions and general discussion from the students. Having gone through the entire Sunday school instruction, culminating in confirmation, in retrospect I must say that I wish my teachers had been a bit more imaginative.

Kids often have trouble with antiquated language, such as all those ‘thees’ and ‘thous’ not used in modern language. Some chapters and, indeed whole books, were so laden with these phrases that it became difficult to focus your attention and discern what was being said. This factor Read the rest of this entry »

Only about a week or so left until the day when all bets are off. Who’s ready for the ghosts, goblins and spooks to emerge from the darkness? I know I am. This is the best day of the year if you ask me. Frolicking through the neighborhood in search of treats! What in the world is better than that? Okay, so I don’t exactly carry around a sack, but I take my daughter to dozens of doorsteps. Believe it or not, it’s actually more fun than when I trick-or-treated as a child.
