Halloween
De-stressing Halloween.
October 31, 2008
Thursday my daughter's preschool class celebrated Halloween. We've been through these sort of celebrations before; as fun as they are for the kids (they ARE really fun), they are also very overwhelming. Case in point. They held the party in the morning and it included fun games, a pumpkin craft and then they enjoyed a pizza lunch (which is a real treat for them) and a cupcake for dessert. Read more...
November is here!
October 30, 2008
Halloween is LITERALLY (and finally!) just around the corner. And since it lands on a Friday this year, you have a TON of events available to celebrate on Friday evening . I'm guess that it is due to the holiday and the last weekend of the month that this weekend is slow on events. Like S-L-O-W. You've been warned. Local kids' music favorite, Recess Monkey Read more...
Yummy Halloween treats ideas.
October 29, 2008
I, apparently, CANNOT STOP WRITING ABOUT HALLOWEEN. I am scared to see what Seattle Savvy will be like in December for Christmas, Hanukkah,Kwanza, New Years and just general holiday-ness . You can just picture it now: me sitting in my office dresses in a lovely Christmas/Santa Sweater, plugging away on my Savvy posts. Ah, Christmas. But, honestly, I really am not that into Halloween.

What to do this weekend that has NOTHING to do with Halloween.
October 23, 2008
SHHHH! Today we are NOT TALKING ABOUT HALLOWEEN. This weekend guide consists of no Halloween related events and activities. Okay, I LIED, there is ONE Halloween related activity. But it should be super fun so I made an exception. This weekend in home to this month's edition of the ever popular Baby Loves Disco . You can pre-order tickets or purchase at the door, but whatever you do: put your Read more...

Fall crafts to keep your preschooler busy.
October 15, 2008
I had a friend in college whose mother would decorate their home for each season, and by DECORATE, I mean that the take down/set up for each season would take the better part of three days and that decorations would cover every surface in their home. EVERY. LAST. SURFACE. I distinctly remember my friend describing to me in detail the difference in the decorations between fall, Halloween Read more...
Make at home crafts: Halloween edition.
October 08, 2008
One of the joys for me as a parent is that we can experience the holidays, no matter how small, with our children. Further, we can use holidays and other events as learning jump off points for more fun at home (oh, and it helps burn daylight, as well). It's a great way to provide ideas and themes for crafts, treats, and meals to assist you in planning your days at home. Also: FUN Read more...
Top five Seattle stops for the perfect Halloween costume.
October 07, 2008
Halloween is coming! This morning, while dropping my daughter off at preschool, it appeared that the ghosts of Halloween past had visited her preschool to spread their ghastly goodies. Her teachers had decked the place OUT. Now, I'm not that big on Halloween, per se, but I can get behind something that is so much fun for kids to participate in. Thank goodness my husband took our children Read more...
Things you must do with your children in Seattle before they grow up, Vol. 2.
June 12, 2008
I started this list a few weeks ago - a list of the 100 must-do activities for you and your children to do before they grow up and are "too cool" to hang out with mom and dad. (Am I the only one that fears this?) We covered the Fremont Troll, a visit to Pike Place Market, sledding at Snoqualmie , eating a Top Pot donut right off the conveyor belt, and riding the Tacoma Link light rail. Read more...
