Spooky Adult Beverages- Not Your Typical Bar Drinks
Spooky Adult Beverages- Yes Please!
It's always fun hitting up the bars dressed up, I loved Halloween parties out and seeing all the really cool costumes but sometimes these nights can add up and the more I go out the more I notice my friends staying in.
I am actually seeing more and more friends scratching the bar/club scene and doing Halloween house parties which can be just as fun.
Check out this list of super creative drinks that you can make that you won't be finding at your local bar.

Happy National Pasta Day!
Pasta is a must in my household. Whether plain, with sauce, olive oil are in broth my little ones love it. Tonight I actually made it without knowing it was national pasta day.
A good friend of mine had surgery so besides the typical flowers what do you bring a friend: FOOD!
So I dropped off sauce and pasta! Must admit was pretty darn good!
Here's some fun pasta facts. http://www.nationalpastaday.com
All dinner was missing was a glass of wine!

Let's Meet Santa: Essex Steam Train Santa Special
We took the kids for the first time last year and it is so much fun. Imagine pulling up to a train station all decorated in Christmas gear. Even the conductors are shining bright with Christmas cheer. You board the train. The train inside is decorated for Christmas. Christmas music fills the cabin. Then all these characters come with "elves" they stop and take a picture with your children. Each child gets a small gift. You just keep singing carols.
Train is moving and Santa and Mrs. Claus come,the children's face light up. It's amazing. Truly gets you in the holiday spirit. We go Thanksgiving weekend to help us kick off the holiday season. Tickets are only $20 a person. Really a great family fun experience!

Are You A Hunter or A Farmer?
Before you answer this question, really think about the characteristics. In life, in a relationship, in your career, the type you are drives your habits.
Now to summarize it from my understanding the "farmer" is more typical. The farmer likes stability, structure, routine. The "hunter" is more risky and adventures. The hunter is like a cheetah- goes after what it wants with full speed but burns out quickly and moves on to the next. Easily distracted and likes change and adventure.
I for one am a farmer. I like routine, stability, I do not like unstable situations. They make me uneasy. I do like to nurture and do things a certain way. When unstability comes my way I go into a panic mode. Not healthy I know but something I am working on.
Now think of your relationship/marriage. Who is the Hunter and who is the farmer? Could two farmers get along better or will the relationship be boring?Could two hunters head down a path of adventure or is that too risky?
It's funny because I can totally look at relationships and name who is the Hunter and who is the Farmer. Take a second and see if you can too!
They use the Hunter and Farmer terms in business too with Sales.
Below it breaks down the two type of sales people.

How My Daughter Views My Conversation With My Mother
Kids say and do funny things. I never realized how much they share with their class. The good thing is kids like to embellish everything so teachers most of the time do not pay attention I must admit I laughed out loud going through my daughter's school papers and seeing this!
Here's the word, explain what word means. Use the word in a sentence and draw a picture.
This is for the keepsake box!
