Here’s an amazing way to make finding out about Santa a little easier
Unless you decide to be transparent about the myth up front, there comes a point where you’ve got to come clean to your kids about Santa before they find out from friends or older siblings.
I recently spied this method that I HAD to share since it’s so good. with it, you’re allowing your children to learn about Santa in a less trust-breaking way, all while encouraging empathy and generosity that can live on every day after…

If you’re just getting to sending out those holiday cards to your nearest and dearest, you may be stumped for what kind to send.

Secret Santa gifts that you’d actually WANT to give (or keep!)
It’s the unofficial holiday we all love to hate: BLACK FRIDAY! For some of us, this whole post-Thanksgiving weekend is going to be all about the deals and getting presents at the lowest prices we can find. It’s actually a pretty good time to find some of those inevitable white elephant and Secret Santa gifts, too.
I’ve included gifts in a variety of price ranges since there’s usually a limit or minimum when it comes to these round robin-style gift exchanges.

Last minute no-carve pumpkin ideas for Halloween (geeky, chic, or cute as hell!)

Here are a few of my favorite chic Halloween decor ideas, shmancy Halloween cocktails, and killer ways to keep things spooky at your adult Halloween shindig.
Egg-cessive gift giving: Is Easter the new Christmas?
In my humble childhood experience the Easter Bunny brought chocolate, candy, and perhaps a few small toys — all of which are the appropriate size to fit in a basket. An actual basket! Not a toy bin, not a kiddie pool — a basket. What’s next? Children sitting on the lap of a man in a bunny suit asking for the trendiest toy of the season?
Once we start down this slippery slope of excessive Easter gifts where do we draw the line?
Check out the Pi-themed gifts round-up you’ll never want to end
It’s one of my favorite days of the year: Pi Day! March 14th is when we celebrate everyone’s favorite irrational number with clever Pi-themed home goods. I’ve whipped up a whole new bunch since our last round-up. And by “new” I mean Pi-themed gifts (and jokes!) you probably haven’t seen before…
