Let’s use the spirit of Halloween to Help Us Be More Human All Year ‘Round

Mom celebrating the Halloween spirit Halloween is a season of fun, costumes , and candy . Indeed, it has become a favorite of mine. The kids get excited about their costumes, and spending the evening visiting neighbors and receiving candy in response to their declaration of, " Trick or Treat "! All around the country, neighbors open their doors and give candy to anyone who shows up seeking it. Upon reflection, it is a beautiful tradition that embodies the generosity of the human spirit. I was talking to someone yesterday and commented about how much I have grown to enjoy it and wished that it could last for more than one night.

A Peek Into the Life of a Working Mom: Sunday Fun

on
This past weekend we got to have family time. And family time is always good!

Anybody who has kids understands that it is important to keep them stimulated. One way to do that is learning about interesting events and attending those that make sense.  Sometimes though, the weekend is about reconnecting with your family and cleaning the house because people are coming to view it...

Our current situation: cleaning, showing and renovating 


You've heard me share that we are trying to sell our home and are renovating another one.  Andre is doing most of the work.  So that means I am alone with our children a lot.  

The good thing is the new house is very close to our current home. So, Andre can come home whenever we need him.  The challenging thing is the kids and I must figure out how to amuse ourselves.  On days like today when people come to view our current home, the kids and I must venture out into our community.   

I love taking photos. If I could find a sponsor, I swear I'd become a member of the paparazzi.  I don't, so, my consolation is stalking my kid.  Often, she's not up for it.  However, sometimes, like today, she humors me.  When she does, I can't resist sharing the results. 
 

Enjoy!

Photos with your kids, the next best thing to a selfie...

Two years ago, Pittsburgh got an incredible gift.  With a donation from the Charity Randall Foundation, Pittsburgh got a very cool art exhibit that emits a mist cloud of water that helps everyone around smile and cool off.  My daughter loves it.  So, since it was surprisingly hot today, we decided to pay it a visit.
