Have A Spooky Halloween With Hallmark!

Oct 182012

Halloween Decorations From Hallmark

I’ve shared before (many times) my love for Hallmark and especially their Christmas ornaments and decorations. Did you know, however, that they also have an awesome assortment of decorations for other holidays, too? Their selections for Halloween will make your house the most fun and festive on the block!

This is our first Halloween in this neighborhood and I was excited to find that most everyone seems to enjoy decorating for the holiday. There are tombstones, ghosts, pumpkins, witches, and much more dotting lawns, porches, and front doors up and down the street on which we live. Our house had been looking a little sparse – but thanks to Hallmark, no more!

Celebrate Halloween With General Mills Big G Monster Cereals

For more than 40 years General Mills Big G Monster Cereals have been enjoyed by kids and adults alike. And right now you can find your favorite Franken Berry, Count Chocula, and Boo Berry varieties at Target – but only for a limited time! If you have little ghouls who would enjoy these you’ll want to get them while you can.

Big G Boo Berry Monster Cereal

We don’t do a lot of sugary cereals in our house but I have always said all things in moderation. The cereals have no cholesterol or saturated fat, and are considered to be a good source of whole grain, calcium, and nine essential vitamins and minerals. So I am okay with serving up a few bowls of Monster Cereal to increase the fun of the Halloween holiday. My personal choice would be to nosh on the Count Chocula; the rest of the family seems pretty partial to the Boo Berry, though.

Baby Safety Month: Monitoring Your Child

For a very long time Bubbles wouldn’t sleep unless one of us were holding her, lying next to her, or within arm’s reach. While it made for some long nights, it did make that parental urge to check your baby’s breathing much easier. We didn’t have to keep getting up and checking another room; we just looked down.

Now that Bubbles is older and has her own toddler bed, she enjoys having her own special sleep place. She still likes to fall asleep within sight of us (and still fights bedtime sleep like a professional boxer) but once asleep we move her to her bed and she’s content. While it’s good to see her independence grow – and also to be able to actually do the dishes while she sleeps now – it did put us in need of a monitor. The audio ones are nice and have been helpful for decades; I remember playing with the one my Mom had for my younger brothers. But I really wanted to try one of the new video and audio combo ones.
