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

on
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.

Wordless Wednesday: Watching TV (#dontjudgeme)

on


I know there are reports that suggest the television is the first step towards the crack pipe. However,  I don't believe it.
I spent many years watching TV with my grandmother and I turned out fine. And instead of watching cartoons, I watched soap operas! Indeed, I knew more about the characters on Guiding Light" than I knew about my own family. I actually learned the word "prolific" from watching "The Bold and the Beautiful". That's an SAT word! 

Seriously, it's not that I believe in unlimited TV time. It's just that I sometimes need to pluck my kids in front of the TV in order to accomplish some things. How do you think I found time to write this blog post?!

I guess the worse thing that can happen from my kids watching TV is that they may not get into Harvard. I'll just have to tell them that they'll join a long line of family members who didn't attend Harvard...
