Giving New Meaning to Parenting

Boo!

Ok, so now that we’ve gotten the Halloween reference out of the way, it’s that time again: Time to announce our latest winner of the Hot Stuff Of The Week Award – Kids And The Phone. This post was brought to us by the folks at The Post Star’s Moms Blog. Congrats to Martha and good luck with the phone.

And now, it’s the moment of all moments, voting for next week’s Hot Stuff!! Whoot!!!

Chicago Moms Blog ran this essay on older kids and Halloween. Very empathetic and respectful of teenagers, who need a little respect every once in a while.

As we’re heading into holiday toy-buying season, this next nominee, Anila Muhammad, raises some important questions: Where are all the green toys? This is part of a larger issue for Anila, a pact to maintain a “buy nothing” Ramadan. A brilliant idea.

Our next nominee is Kayte, who brings us a variety of alternative Halloween activities sure to please, and sure to get your own creative juices flowing.

Crank Mama gives us our final post, which are some of the scariest, grossest recipes for Halloween. Yum! (sorta)
