There Once Was I Time I Was Asked About Baby Toys….
Yes, the above title is true. It happened once. It was a far off time, as in three Thursdays ago, when I was sitting with a whiney baby– somehow most of my stories are starting off this way!– and my high school bestie, and my husband. None of the people in this story are relevant […]
13 Days of Halloween for the Family: Day 13, Scooby-Doo
For the thirteenth day of 13 Days of Halloween for the Family, we recommend Scooby-Doo. When you think of Halloween it’s hard to not think about some iteration of Scooby-Doo and the gang, where everyday is Halloween. With so many iterations of the show it’s hard to pick one to watch, but here are a few suggestions to […]
13 Days of Halloween for the Family: Day 12, E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial
For the twelfth day of 13 Days of Halloween for the Family, we recommend E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial. As a child this was one of my favorite movies, and is one of only two films that I’ve seen in theaters three times. And I must admit, the product placement of Reese’s Pieces and Speak & Spell probably helped […]

For the ninth day of 13 Days of Halloween for the Family, we recommend Scared Shrekless. In Scared Shrekless, DreamWorks brings us another great Halloween special, this time featuring the Shrek crew. If you enjoyed the Shrek movies, or liked Monsters Vs Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins From Outer Space, you’ll enjoy this one.
13 Days of Halloween for the Family: Day 8, Garfield’s Halloween Adventure
For the eighth day of 13 Days of Halloween for the Family, we recommend Garfield’s Halloween Adventure. I recall watching this one air in 1985 and in subsequent years, and 26 years later I’m sharing it with my own children. Unfortunately this one appears to be out of print now, and a little pricey to purchase, so you may want […]
13 Days of Halloween for the Family: Day 7, Coraline
For the seventh day of 13 Days of Halloween for the Family, we recommend Coraline. Fans of The Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride will enjoy this movie from Nightmare director Henry Selick.
