Halloween Mashup
Since my daughter figured out the gist of Halloween, which I think occurred after we read Clifford’s Halloween for the zillionth time this July, she’s been obsessed with what she would like to dress up as.

Deceptively Delicious, an Aptly Titled Cookbook

Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, a Fun Trip For All Ages
Finding a fun place to go with the “girls” in my family used to be a daunting task. My mom and my aunt are easy (ages withheld for my own protection), but finding something that my 22 year old sister, 12 year old cousin, 3 year old daughter, and grandmother in her mid seventies who [...]
