Am I the only parent who has genuine concerns about the candy hype that surrounds Halloween? And I have to admit that I do feel some guilt about eating giving all that candy away once we're done. Everything in moderation, but an entire bag or bucket full of candy is more than I can swallow. Thanks to Disney FamilyFun Magazine, your children don't have to end up wi... Read More »

Every year we take my son to the pumpkin patch, and each year it's someplace different. I like pumpkin patches because it's a fun way to celebrate fall and harvest time, without scary ghosts, monsters, and witches. This year we decided to take our little boy to the Irvine Park Railroad Pumpkin Patch, hailed as the best around here (and I have to agree for the most... Read More »

Last week we took my son trick or treating...at Disney's California Adventure! We took my son to Mickey's Trick Or Treat Party last year and what a difference a year makes. I don't ever remember him staying up past 11 pm, but he did. He was so excited about the characters and the festivities. For the first time, we were able to see Mickey's Trick-or-Treat-on ...

This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by! The winner is Angelique. Congrats!
This year we've got a lot planned for Halloween! To be honest, I don't like the history of the holiday. However, I am not the type of mom that will try to hide her children from the world (although I will do everything I can to protect them). Rather than not celebratin... Read More »

Last week I told you about my favorite kid-friendly Halloween activities. One of the things my husband and I are going to do with our little boy is take him to Mickey's Trick-Or-Treat Party in October. We attended last year, and had a great time! We're regular season pass holders, and while this is a separate, ticketed event, we're still planning on attending. ... Read More »

Earlier this week I asked about what you and your children do for Halloween. I thought I'd share some of the things we'll be doing this year for Halloween. While I'm not crazy about the "scary" part of Halloween, I do like the baking, crafting, dressing up and trick or treating.
Here are some fun ideas for Halloween this year:
1. Visit a Pumpkin Patch and ... Read More »

Do you "celebrate" Halloween? While I'm not one to scare or be scared, we do like to dress up. In fact, my husband and I met at a church Halloween party, so it's only fitting that we at least dress up! Last year, we took my son around the neighborhood, dressed as Bob the Builder. Once he realized that knocking on other people's doors was fun and not scary, he ... Read More »

It was our first visit to Disney's California Adventure Park (all three of us) for Mickey's Trick or Treat Party courtesy of Disney and MomSelect. I was one of the mom bloggers at the event along with my good friend... Read More »

Halloween is just around the corner and it's time to get prepared. Last year our little boy ended up being Tigger by default because by the time I decided that I wanted him to have a costume, Pooh's sidekick was the only decent outfit left in his size. This year is different. This year our little builder boy is going to be Bob.
