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.

How to Survive the Last Days of Winter: Go to The National Aviary



Mothers love their children. However, being the constant source of their entertainment  can be exhausting! When the weather is nice, outside is an easy source of entertainment. However, when it is cold, rainy, snowy, or all three entertaining your kids is harder. For that reason, mamas need a Spring Break more than college coeds! Unfortunately, we can't always afford it.

If the recent weather on the east coast is any indication--that Nor'Easter has been real--winter is not over and seeking an entertaining haven from the storm may be needed. If you are in Pittsburgh and can't afford a tropical excursion, pay a visit to the National Aviary! A day there can give you a break from the cold and provide adequate amusement for your kids!

A Day at the National Aviary is a Great Break from the Cold!

The National Aviary is a unique Pittsburgh treasure.  According to its website, it is the only independent indoor nonprofit zoo dedicated to birds. Because of it is focused on birds, inside it is downright tropical! One exception is the penguins exhibit, which is really well done. So, actually you can experience multiple seasons under one roof!

It's a great way to spend the day. Let me know if you make it there!
