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.

Us Working Moms Love Our Weekend Breakfasts

Delicious breakfasts...
One of my favorites things about weekends is the ability to enjoy a leisurely breakfast.  As a working mom of three, there are so many sacrifices that I make for my kids. Some of the sacrifices have happened organically and some have happened unconsciously. I just look back over the things that have changes since I've become a mom and realize that this. 

Life. Is. Different.

Still, one thing that has remained the same is the joy I get from enjoying my weekend breakfast.  It is one of life's greatest pleasures and I enjoy it. Now, I make the kids' breakfast first. So that I ca enjoy mine. Sometimes, mine is interrupted in order to fill a glass of a small person, give someone more sausage or to replenish a cereal bowl. Still, I get time to enjoy my weekend breakfast. And the laughs of my children that provide the soundtrack to my weekend mornings make the meals that much sweeter...
