Halloween
What's going on in toronto this weekend
October 31, 2008
Happy Hallowe'en everyone! I hope everyone enjoys a bit of tricks or treats this evening and that the weekend finds you in a pleasant sugar induced coma. Tonight is the Cadbury's Haunted House at the Gladstone Chocolate Factory (THINK: FREE CHOCOLATE). For each child that shows up in costume tonight, one dollar will be go Unicef. Can you think of a better place to do trick-or-treating than at a Read more...
Finally, it's Hallowe'en eve
October 30, 2008
Finally, it's Hallowe'en eve and I think ( think ) we are prepared for tomorrow's much anticipated festivities. Gigi finally decided what she wanted to be for the school parade: a fairy princess. Which was a relief because I had no idea how I would have made a costume for a cat - ninja - butterfly - princess - pumpkin hybrid. Lucky for me, we already had the crown, wings, and wand so it really Read more...
Trick-or-Treat overload
October 28, 2008
Okay, brace yourselves people: this Friday is Hallowe'en and if your family is partaking in trick-or-treating, the candy conundrum is about to land on your doorstep. What does one do with all this candy once the festivities are over, and how does one lessen the impact of sugar overload and sore tummies ( including mine because impulse control is low when chocolate and sugar is involved )? I've Read more...
What's going on this weekend in toronto
October 24, 2008
Tomorrow it's Boo Barn 2008 at Riverdale Farm from 9:30 to 3:30. There is a Hallowe'en Hoot Boo Barn decorated for the kids to walk through, a pumpkin patch in the garden, and toasty warm treats in the outdoor wood-fired oven - which based on weather in recent days, is a good thing. There will also be pumpkin carvings at the picnic table area in the park, no need to pack your carving knife, Read more...

Green hallowe'en
October 20, 2008
It's super easy to make Hallowe'en environmentally friendly, in fact, you probably already do things that are super earth friendly without intending to be so nice to the planet ( but trust me, Mother Nature still wants to give you a big bear hug and sloppy kiss - every little bit adds up ). So what are the best ways to make Hallowe'en green without adding extra slime? Walk, don't drive and stay Read more...
The History of Hallowe'en
October 13, 2008
I've said it before: I love Hallowe'en and so does my husband. We courted over a particularly macabre Midnight Madness series at a TIFF years ago (how romantic, n'est pas?) and I really enjoy so many things about the holiday especially the candy . In my opinion, combining candy with spooky stuff is pure genius. Of course these days, SB and I are spreading the love of this holiday to Gigi, by Read more...
Hallowe'en costumes: where to find them in Toronto
October 07, 2008
In the past, I often found trying to achieve the perfect costume a frustrating experience. I'm glad that Gigi isn't quite old enough to demand the ultimate Dora ensemble (or whatever strikes her fancy - the costume requests change daily) because if I found deciding on a costume frustrating, she would probably find it tantrum-inducing. That is something I'd rather not like to experience thank you Read more...
