I like to be ahead of things but if I'm being honest every now and then I definitely find myself procrastinating. Some holidays have a way of sneaking up on you, and that's especially true for ones that move every year like Easter.

(Looking at you, dollar store). If you're like me and...

That's your Christmas parties, Thanksgiving dinners, baby showers, wedding showers, and so on. And yes, even family should get one! By the way, a host gift is for the host...

Halloween is a lot of fun for those who celebrate but sometimes the candy can be a little much. Especially when kids are getting it from multiple places like school/daycare, after school activities, and Halloween events. Instead of sugar this year why not treat kids to something that's healthy and fun? Not only is it better for them, you'll also be able to accommodate kids with allergies so everyone can get in on the fun. That doesn't mean giving them apples or other "healthy" foods - we're...
