Trick or Treat Atlanta -- Alternative's to Neighborhood Trick-or-Treating
October 28, 2008
Halloween is so close I can smell the candy! We live in a very large neighborhood where the trick-or-treating is incredible. We have lots of kids in our area -- and while I don't get many on my out-of-the-way-cul-de-sac, one street over people run out of candy yearly!

FFFN: Time to Carve Your Pumpkin!
October 24, 2008
Now that you've been to your favorite pumpkin patch and picked the perfect pumpkin, it's time to carve it! When I was younger this was always one of the messiest, most fun nights.

Not Just Orange and Black. Go Green This Halloween.
October 20, 2008
In an effort to be more eco-conscious our family has made several changes this year. We've started using re-usable shopping bags, the boys use the Laptop Lunchbox system for their school lunches, we have some of these cool wrap-n-mats for sandwiches when we don't use the bento box insert. Just to name a few changes. It's really not that hard to make a few simple changes and they go along Read more...

Getting Dressed Up -- Local Costume Shops
October 07, 2008
Halloween is coming! My kids are so excited they've had the house decorated since August!
