Today I am honored to be a Guest Blogger over at my friend Anka’s blog Keeping It Real! She asked me to write about my favorite Christmas memory. Of course, as usual, my favorite memory was one that had me chuckling and made my heart a little brighter that day!

It’s Tough Being A Kid At Our House At Halloween
It’s tough being a kid in our house at Halloween. My husband and I both love this holiday and we have forced our love on our kids since they were wee little ones.
