Last year my son got *BLACK BEANS* while out trick-or-treating and I’m still laughing about it!
Halloween Jokes for Kids
My kids and I have been reading our stash of Halloween books for about a month now. One of the books is full of cute and corny jokes. In the spirit of this being a humor blog, I’m sharing those jokes — kid-approved by my six-year-old and ten-year-old — for your enjoyment. Most are courtesy [Read More]

Favorite Halloween Candy
What’s your favorite Halloween candy? Personally, I LOVE Almond Joy. And, yes, I realize that many of you out there hate coconut.

Bad Halloween Costumes for Toddlers
Here’s a blast from the past. When my son was two we dressed him like Napoleon Dynamite. Yeah, we thought we were cool parents! Poor kid. Worst Halloween costume for a toddler ever.

I Feel Like Chicken Tonight
I’m coming clean. This is what I fed my kids for dinner one night last week. I don’t know what’s more disturbing: 1. That it’s a frozen kids meal that consists of mostly beige, processed food, 2. That the box is really trying to claim it’s good for kids: white meat chicken! whole grain! protein! [Read More]

Talking with Sydney about Halloween
This week Sydney and I were in the car and started chatting about Halloween. “Mmmm, candy!” she squealed. “What’s your favorite type of candy?” I asked. “Um,” she said. Then nothing. “Is it chocolate? Lollipops? Mints?” I suggested. A moment later she said with a straight face, “Beer candy!” Then she giggled. And of course [Read More]
