Welcome all newcomers and faithful readers!

Did your kids have a fun Halloween? What costumes did they wear? We would love to hear your stories! They might help distract us from the upcoming holidays and what I call the "Christmas Crazies." :-) - I absolutely love Christmas, just need to pace myself to get through them in one piece. LOL - I've started my Christmas shopping already which helps. Meanwhile, we have Thanksgiving to pull off before Christmas hits - best get busy planning and preparing. My Thanksgiving page will help: Rexanne's Thanksgiving

Now do yourself a favor and get a head start on Christmas: Rexanne's Christmas

Be sure to check out the new Christmas Tree Toppers page for some really cool tree toppers: Christmas Tree Toppers page. Some really cool toppers on there!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving my U.S. readers. Feast and give thanks for all your blessings. Even if life is difficult at times, you have plenty to be thankful for. Focus on what you've got and cherish all of it. I am, as always, thankful for every one of you!

"I found your site while searching for a True Blood T-shirt and was a little surprised (although delighted!) to also find excellent parenting advice that came in handy with a problem I was having with my son. How did you decide to combine True Blood and parenting advice on one web site?"

HA HA Julian ... I didn't set out to combine them, it just kind of happened. When I become obsessed with a movie, book or TV show, I'll make a "specialty store" for it to share with my visitors. Keeps me feeling productive while feeding my obsession. :-) I'm happy you stumbled onto my site and found more than what you were looking for!

This Month's Web Review Sponsored By: Capture the Magic

Ready to capture the magic of Santa Claus for your children this holiday season? This new site will allow you to include a picture of Santa in your home, capturing his visit and your kids will have "proof" that Santa was there. How exciting!

All you have to do is upload a picture of your living room or any other room you prefer and Capture the Magic will embed Santa into the photograph. Your child will be in awe seeing Santa in his/her home and you will have a most cherished keepsake. I love this site!

Parenting & Family Topic of the Month:
Croup

Croup is a nasty virus that strikes little children up to age six. You will know your child has croup when you hear an unlikely, intense bark instead of a regular cough. Croup is a virus, just like a cold or flu virus and there is no antibiotic or medicine that will "cure" this condition, just lots of TLC, calm and soothing attention and lots of moisture in the air. Read more about croup online: Croup

Cover those carpet shredding, floor scratching and dirty cleats today.

At a business event this past weekend I was introduced to this amazing new product, Cleatskins. This is one of the best inventions since the Internet!

Cleatskins cover men's, women's and kid's cleats with a pliable rubber skin. They come in a variety of colors and will keep the dirt on the field, where it belongs and make it easy for a cleat-wearing kid to walk on any surface without removing his/her cleats. They also protect the cleats! You'll wonder how you lived without Cleatskins before. Cleatskins make cool stocking stuffers and Christmas gifts!

Time Waster of the Month: Pass or Perish
(Because life is supposed to be fun!)

Ready for some football? I had more fun playing this game than most kids would probably have. LOL The object is to pass the football to your team members (in green jerseys), gaining 100 yards each round and avoiding interceptions (those other guys are sneaky!) and turn overs. Have fun!

Feed the kids first ...

Featured Site of the Month: Hey Josh

For all parents, teachers and caretakers of teenagers, this site is priceless!

Even if your children are still babies, this is really good information to absorb for future reference. Thanks for all you do, Josh!
