I was pregnant during two Halloweens. Looking back, I'm sad I never got into that particular holiday spirit. That probably has something to do with the fact that I was just happy to struggle into my own clothes and shoes , let alone deal…

I did this thing last year where I decided it to hand-make my daughter a Big Bird costume for Halloween--feather by feather. I'm not a natural costume-maker, so the whole thing was imperfect--but it was fun to make and she dug it. This y…

Last year, we attended a super-hero themed birthday party, in which the costumed kids were given a card to fill out with their super hero name and power. In a sea of Batmans and Spidermans, I have to say I was just a wee bit proud of my …
