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.

Beach trips make summer more special!

Going to the beach is one of our favorite things to do during the summer. And although we prefer the ocean, any beach will do. Last summer, because of concerns about COVID19, we only made it to Presque Isle State Park in Erie, Pennsylvania. Still, because we had been locked up all year and the waves were high, we got our fix and it held us over till this summer.

This summer, we have a family trip planned to the Outer Banks of North Carolina where we plan to fellowship, play in the sand, and yes enjoy the ocean. Until then, these beach time memories will have to keep us going!

This our first time visiting Outerbanks. I lived in North Carolina and never made it previously. So, I'm excited. I've also organized this trip for nearly my entire family and the expectations are high. So, please help me look good! If you've been to the Outer Banks, let me know what you love about it. This is going to be our first time visiting there!
