I was just talking to John about Halloween costume themes this and I have a hunch that “The Palin” might just be the frontrunner for women this year. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler on SNL Sarah Palin and Katie Couric

I admit, I’m a sucker for a good ghost story. Although I have never experienced any paranormal activity (that I’m aware of) a good chilling tale will put me on alert and make my pulse race. Best way to take in a story about hauntings and messages from beyond the grave? Take the Ghostly Walks [...]

Becky has been demanding a post about pumpkin patches, and apparently because I have 3 little ones I am an authority on the matter. I thought I’d enlist their help but when asked which places they preferred I got a few shoulder shrugs and an ‘I unno’. After some prodding they offered that they didn’t [...]
