Halloween
Happy Halloween!
October 31, 2008
People. It's Halloween. I don't need to be telling you what fun things are out there for you to do today! Get out there and get some candy! Tomorrow, believe it or not, the holiday shopping season kind of unofficially begins, and it's just a whirlwind slide to the end of the year. So relax, enjoy a stroll through the crackling leaves, oohh and ahh over your neighbor's decorations and Read more...
Tuesday Top Five: Haunt Hunting
October 28, 2008
Do you believe in ghosts? I want to, but I must say I have never seen one or had "that feeling" that people describe when they see them. My house backs up to a cemetery, even, and nary a ghost. When we bought the house we joked about the deciding factor being whether or not we heard the wailing of ghouls in the backyard during our only night showing (we didn't). And we had one rockin' Read more...
Culture Vultures Love This Weekend
October 24, 2008
How about a little culture with your candy? While this weekend is all about Halloween, there are ways to celebrate it and check out some of Detroit's best cultural institutions at the same time. If you plan it right, you could spend the whole weekend in the cultural center! The Detroit Institute of Arts is hosting a haunted/mystery tour as part of its Friday Night Live programming.

Trick or Treating with Trees or Time Travel in Troy
October 23, 2008
With Halloween falling on a Friday this year, this weekend is really the crescendo of fun, daytime, little-kid friendly Halloween activities. I talked about a lot of them in Tuesday's post, but I'll be discussing a few others today and tomorrow so you can take your pick. Troy will be hopping this weekend, with two Halloween-themed events that bring something beyond the usual. At the Read more...
Tuesday Top Five: Halloween Traditions
October 21, 2008
Halloween is still ten days away, but the fun stuff has been happening for awhile and will continue right up through the 31st. One of the best parts of having a little kid is reliving that joy and excitement of Halloween through their eyes, and there's all kinds of activities, from bookish to outdoorsy, that the whole family can enjoy coming up. One of our family favorites is the annual Read more...
Martha Stewart-Ish Pumpkins In Rochester Hills
October 10, 2008
Not only do I love fall, as I have mentioned before, but I love October most. I got married in October, and it boasts the best holiday of all, in my opinion: Halloween. Who could not love a holiday that involves dressing up as something fun or beautiful or scary and trooping around at night asking the neighbors for candy? So I am extra excited that Halloween-type activities have Read more...
Tuesday List: Costume Shops
October 07, 2008
The clock's ticking -- Halloween is upon us. And while it's high on my list of favorite holidays, the pressure is mounting to locate a costume and get ready. Luckily, here are some ideas for places to rent or buy costumes that aren't the same old prefab Halloween-store deals. Sutton's in Waterford has, like, everything. Not into the whole run of the mill Spongebob-Thomas-Disney Read more...
Choosing Your Child's Costume
October 06, 2008
Today's national theme is how to choose a costume. In our house, it's never quite been a choice -- since she's been old enough to choose, she's chosen her own costume. That creativity and imagination is part of the fun, after all. Here's our history: I was quite roundly pregnant with my daughter on Halloween four years ago, so I let good taste and decorum go to the dogs and painted my belly Read more...
It's That Wonderful Time of Year Again!
October 01, 2008
Happy October!! I love fall, love it love it love it. As far as I am concerned, this is the most wonderful time of the year, forget about the holidays. The crisp air, the cool nights, warm fuzzy PJs, cider mills, doughnuts, pumpkins, boots and sweaters for you and tights and vests for your little ones -- AND we get Halloween and Thanksgiving? What more could you want from a season? Let Read more...
