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.

S'mores and Other Fall Traditions


It is October! It's hard to believe that summer is officially behind us and fall is here. One reason it's hard to believe is that it remains quite warm. It's so warm that I long to be poolside in Pittsburgh--daily. That said, the nights are cooler. They are just cool enough to begin firing up the fire pit to enjoy long talks, cuddles and sweet treats like s'mores. 

Enjoying S'mores Makes Everything Better

When I think about enjoying s'mores, it makes me smile! And, as you can see from the photo above, they have the same affect on my kid.

Indeed, 'mores are universally awesome! I don't know about you, but even in these gluten free, low fat, high protein times, I still enjoy a good s'more. I don't know if it's nostalgia, the communal aspect of it, or the fact that they taste so damn good. Whatever it is, I am officially declaring this, "S'mores Season"!

So, light a fire and celebrate!!!
