As the colder months approach, a lot of people are shutting their windows and cranking on the heat. Well, at least if you live here in NE Ohio. Here, it is getting chilly enough at night that we fired up the furnace already. Don't judge. I get cold easily. 

Anyway, since our homes are becoming stuffier, so to speak, it's also time to make sure that your air purifier is in good working order to keep the air in your home clean and healthy for your family. Tis the season for germs, after all. Or pet odors. Or cooking aromas. Or mold. Mildew. Pet dander.....The list of possible, common contaminants goes on and on.....

A quality air purifier, like those from Okaysou.com, can help! We received the AirMic4S to check out recently, and it has been making a marked difference, even in just a few days. I'd love to tell you more about its features, so keep reading! 

Times are weird, man.....They just are. 2020 is a year that no one will soon forget. Mark my words. 

Traditional things like Halloween parties and Trick or Treating with groups of friends are taking the backseat this season to more socially distanced events. Honestly, I'm not even mad, and neither are my kids. Better safe than sorry. The funny part? Sophie and Xander don't even want to go Trick or Treating this year, and said they'd be happy finding some other spooky mischief to get into, as long as we grabbed them some candy on our own. Pretty sure candy is key here, and the activity at hand isn't as important as long as they get their fix. 

Fair enough. 

Because I'm a mom who is all about making memories, I decided that Halloween itself isn't cancelled, even if our activities may be modified to fit the times and current situation. We decided to have an EPIC Dart Blaster Battle at one of the area's spookiest cemeteries. (Yes, we made sure it was okay, and yes, we cleaned up all darts.) 

As a Mom, I am always conscious about what my kids are exposed to, especially in movies and television. So much that's broadcast is just mindless drivel, does nothing at all for character development, and well....A lot of it is just plain inappropriate for younger, more impressionable minds.  So I'm a stickler for making sure my kids don't fall down the black abyss that is the entertainment world....In fact, we cut cable years ago and don't really even watch TV.

Best decision ever, by the way. We don't even miss it at all. 

That said, one thing we DO like to do is enjoy regular movie nights as a family. It's often challenging to find something that not only keeps us all engaged, but is also age appropriate for my 9 and 10 year olds. 

Recently, we got the chance to check out a new movie, "When We Last Spoke." Set in 1967 Texas, sisters Juliet (Darby Camp) and Evangeline (Chandler Head) are abandoned by their mother at their unsuspecting grandparents’ farm in the small southern town of Fireside. Stunned by their sudden arrival, tender-hearted Walt (Corbin Bernsen) and champion fiddler Ruby (Melissa Gilbert) graciously stand in for the missing parents and create one blue-ribbon recipe for a loving family.
