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.

Wordless Wednesday: A Dessert for those who lack time

Memorial Day Dessert
Working moms are long on ambition, but short on time. That means that even though our hearts may be crying out to make a homemade peach cobbler to take to the Memorial Day picnic, the clock tells us that we just can't do it. In those situations, we need a back up plan.


When I needed to bring a dessert to the cookout I attended on Monday, I was inspired by somethng I saw on the old Bethenny Frankel show. Say what you want about Bethenny, she knows how to prepare food quickly that is rich in taste, but on calories. I made ice cream sandwiches out of Chips Ahoy Cookies and Breyer's Vanilla Ice Cream. They were the perfect treat for a hot day and enjoyed by adults and kids alike.

SCORE!!!
