LOCAL: Celebrate Halloween in a Unique Way

-

I have to confess that I really enjoy Halloween. That doesn’t sit well with some of my more conservative family and friends, but it is what it is. I don’t celebrate it as a dark art or as a way of making a “joke” out of Hell, demons, etc. It’s just a tradition in our family of dressing up, acting silly, fellowshipping with others and enjoying the beginning of fall . . . which means the holidays are right around the corner.

And long ago my momma got me hooked on ghost stories and movies about things that go bump in the night . . . and still as a grown woman I gravitate towards the books, movies and stories that make me jump just a bit.

If your family is like mine was growing up and looking for a classy way to celebrate Halloween that doesn’t involve chainsaws and fake blood, I think this might be a perfect solution.

The Morton Meyerson Symphony Hall is holding a special “Monsters of Film Music” on Sunday, October 30 at 2:30 p.m. Today on Mamapedia you can get a family 4-pack of tickets for $38 . . . seriously, less than $10 a person to hear the sounds of Ghostbusters, Harry Potter, and Star Wars.

Everyone comes dressed in their Halloween outfits, contests, arts & crafts, an instrument petting zoo and more Halloween fun!

Giveaway: Down East Basics Clothing

I have a GREAT giveaway for you. Maybe I'm just excited because I can't remember the last time I got to go pick out fun clothing just because . . . unless it was maternity clothing. But Down East Basics Clothing sent me this great dress to try: It's so much fun! What you can't tell from the pictures is that there is some kind of thread in the material that reflects light so when you look really close at the dress it seems to sparkle. I felt beautiful all day - even though I was just running errands with my boys! This dress retails for $34.99 which is more than I usually pay for clothing, but if you're looking for something special, I think the quality and the amount of enjoyment I got out of wearing it make it worth it. I'm always hesitant about ordering clothing online especially from a retailer that I've never used before. Pictures can't tell you if the materials is heavy duty or flimsy. You can't tell if the stitching is going to come out ...

{EXPIRED} Giveaway: Make Your Own Soda (Cokes!)

-

I have to admit that this review was one of the most FUN items we’ve done so far. My husband was actually more excited about trying it out than I was. Sodastream has an entire line of machines that allow you to make your own soda -  pop, cokes, whatever you make call it - at home. The process is super simple. We reviewed the Jet. It came in a large box. We took all of the pieces out and were able to start making drinks without washing or assembling anything. (We did rinse out the bottle just because I’m a nut like that.) There are two clear bottles to mix the drinks in, an O2 cylinder and the actual machine. You pop the O2 cylinder into the back of the machine. Then fill up one of the bottles with water to the fill line marked on the bottle. You push back on the button at the top of the front of the Sodastream machine which rocks out the Piece that the bottle screws on to. Once it is attached, you let go and the bottle returns to an upright position. You push the button...
