Kids, Cereal and Halloween

Just in time for Halloween the Food and Drug Administration has some spooky news for parents: Those so-called healthy cereals you’ve been feeding your kids may not be as nutritious as they claim to be.

My Life with the Sink Monster

Have you ever woken up from a bad dream only to find that there was a little bit of reality to it after all? Or perhaps you have a certain sense of dread before walking down a certain alley or into a certain room. It is almost as though you can hear the audience watching you as though you are in a horror film, “Don’t go in there!” and “Nooooo!” This happens every once in a while in my house, usually on weekends. I get up on a Saturday morning before everyone else is. The house is still and quiet … Continue reading →
