Happy Holidays

Thursday, December 8th, 2011

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I have been too busy. But busy in a good way. Lots of changes going on with my other business that is taking all of my time. I am sorry to all of my mom-stuff friends for the absence of posts .

It is now time for the Christmas Season. This is my favorite time of the year. I love the music, the lights and the overall feeling of goodwill. I wish it could be Christmas all year.

Halloween Ideas from Mom-Stuff

Wednesday, October 5th, 2011

It is our favorite time of year at www.mom-stuff.com. We love Halloween. Come and visit and get some fun ideas to make this your best Halloween season. We have everything you need:

How tp Plan a Halloween Family Party
Family is were all the fun begins. Every year our family has an annual Halloween party and we wanted to share with all of you our experiences. This will let you take the ideas and make your own family fun. You can use these ideas and make them your own by adding your families personalities to them. If you do not have extended family around you get together with other moms and plan your Halloween Party together. This is a good way for everyone to make more friends. “Our most basic instinct is not for survival but for family. Most of us would give our own life for the survival of a family member, yet we lead our daily life too often as if we take our family for granted.” ~Paul Pearshall . . . keep reading

Feeling Irish

On St. Patrick’s Day we can all FEEL IRISH!!!

On St. Patrick’s Day you don’t have to be Irish to enjoy the spirit of the day.

Geather your clan and celebrate the spirt of the day with some Irish food because everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. The popularity of this holiday has spread like a patch of clover. There are more St. Patrick’s Day parades held in the United States than in Ireland.

Celebrating each holiday is our way of celebrating life. It does help if you look good in green, believe in wee-folk and enjoy a bit of sausage and cabbage. Come and visit us at www.mom-stuff.com and celebrate with us.
