A few days after Halloween one year my toddler got into trouble for misbehaving. I explained to her what she had done wrong and how she could make a better choice next time. I gave her a hug and said, “What do you say?” She innocently looked up at me and said, “Trick-or-treat?”
With Halloween behind us, but the remnants of the season still on our minds (and in giants bowls in our kitchens), today’s Hot Topic is about Halloween goodies.
Question: What do you do with all of your children’s leftover Halloween candy? How much do you let them have?

Or…
When I saw my husband hold our newborn.

It’s amazing how certain words are as irritating as nails on a chalkboard. A recent poll I read listed five of the most hated phrases in the English language. Here they are:
1. “Whatever”
2. “You know …”
3. “It is what it is”
4. “Anyway …”
5. “At the end of the day…”
Question: Which expressions do you despise the most?

One of the biggest barriers to exercise is finding time. With multiple children and packed daily lives it seems like a daunting to task to add a daily workout to the routine. How have you found the time to exercise? What do you do for a workout? What has worked best for you?
