One Secret to Success for a Working Mom, Expand Your Village (Jack and Jill of America)

Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

on
I like to acknowledge holidays on this blog.  However, in the interest of true confessions, we probably had the lamest Halloween in history in my house. We got no trick or treaters. We didn't put the baby in her costume. And as of yet, we haven't even eaten one morsel of candy.

We had grand hopes, but none were realized.  It was cold and rainy out that it didn't seem appropriate to take a one year old outside in the elements, no matter how much her father might love Halloween.

We're fortunate that her daddy took her to a Halloween party on Friday at the Children's Museum though.  Based on the smile in the photo below that was all of the celebration she needed!

Let me know how your Halloween evening's went.  Living vicariously through my blog readers... :-)

We went to a Halloween Festival at church. Stay about 15 mins then came home and got candy from the neighbors. It was too cold to spend hours rounding up candy. Plus, Moo has a peanut allergy and everybody seemed to giving out snickers and reeses.

YUMMommy, I give you credit for starting the holiday shopping early and in earnest. I half step it for a while and then panic. Maybe this year will be different? Last year I was on maternity leave so it was less frantic. Since I can't manage to swing that this year, I'll have to plan! Thanks for visiting Chaton's World. It sounds like the birthday parties will compensate for the Halloween!!! :-)http://chatonsworld.blogspot.com.
