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: The Elf on the Shelf


This month our elf has been on the shelf, on the bar (guess she got thirsty), and all over the house.  As the story goes, the elf moves every night because she travels to the North Pole. And she does, except that one time she stayed in the same place for two days because she was "meditating".


In any event our elf makes us all behave better. The kids are trying to impress her and we're trying desperately to not let down the kids!



BTW-I preferred the plush elf, which is why we use this one.
