Halloween was a magical night for me when I was young…I loved every minute of the dressing up and going door-to-door fun and would save my candy like no one’s business! I would carefully ration each snack and keep my candy going easily throughout the next year! Now, it is my turn to make this [...]

My kiddies suited up in preparation for Halloween this evening. And we found this on the back of the packaging… am I missing something?

On Sunday, Fox News’ [...]

Let’s look at some past, more interesting result maps.   The “Democratic L” How about the Republicans carrying New York and California? President McKinley stepped into office in 1896 with near inverse results from 2000. Red states, green states, [...]

I see these Trumpette socks everywhere in Brooklyn. Finally I gave in last week and bought a set of the Mary Jane print socks for Ellie. They make any outfit a little more adorable and when everyone assumes she is wearing shoes, it is humorous to watch their reactions when they discover they are merely [...]
