LIFESTYLE FUN:
Fall Family Fun
I LOVE this time of year. Autumn makes me happy, with its crunchy leaves and harvest vegetables and college football. And with a relief from the sometimes oppressive heat of the summer months, it’s an opportunity to head outside to enjoy some beautiful weather with your family!
- Rake up big piles of leaves and JUMP in them. Adults, too!
- Go to a real pumpkin patch to pick out the family pumpkins. Then go home and carve/decorate them together.
- Pack up a thermos of warm apple cider and go for a hayride! If you can’t find one offered in your community, make your own. Fine someone with a truck, pile some bales of hay in the back and hop on! (Be safe, of course. Never ride unbuckled on roads. Old farm paths are the best!)
- Go to an orchard for apple-picking. Make some apple pies together and share with neighbors and friends.
- Stuff your own scarecrow! Get daddy’s old pants and shirts and cram them full of hay. Paint a fun face on a burlap-covered ball or a pumpkin. Take everyone’s picture with the scarecrow to remember the fun!
- Take a walk through the woods and pick up some interesting leaves to take home for craft time (leaf rubbings with crayons or pressing between wax paper sheets for suncatchers in the window).
- Fill a barrel with water and apples (careful with younger kids around the water) and have your own bobbing for apples contest.
- Bake mini loaves of pumpkin bread and take to elderly neighbors or a local retirement home.
- Make birdfeeder ornaments by layering peanut butter and sunflower seeds on pinecones. Hang them on low branches to watch the birds enjoy them.
- Have a tailgate party in your driveway, and head to your local high school football game together. Talk about the game and sportsmanship afterwards over a treat!
MOST OF ALL.....HAVE FUN AS A FAMILY!
HALLOWEEN FOOD AND FUN
Halloween at our house always meant Chili! We had to warm up when we got back from Trick or Treating in the Pacific North West! After we finished trick or treating, mom would always have a big pot of chili on the stove that had been cooking for hours just waiting....it's still a family tradition today! Maybe you can find some fun Halloween dishes that can be a tradition in your family too! Check out below....
Disney and Barney’s Minnie Mouse's super fashion makeover for the holiday windows shown on Monday, Oct. 22, 2012, right.
"We are saddened that activists have repeatedly tried to distort a lighthearted holiday project in order to draw media attention to themselves," Disney and Barneys said in a joint statement to the News.
"They have deliberately ignored previously released information clearly stating this promotion is a three-minute ‘moving art’ video featuring traditional Minnie Mouse in a dreamlike sequence set in Paris where she briefly walks the runway as a model and then happily awakens as her normal self wearing the very same designer dress from the fashion show."
Barneys maintains that the skinny mouse only appears briefly in a dream sequence within the store's "Electric Holiday" campaign that features a 3-D light show and short film.
But plus-sized model Lizzie Miller was appalled.
"People may think it's blowing it out of proportion, but where does it stop?" asked Miller. "This is a big step backwards."
Miller has appeared in ads for Kohl's, Target, Macy's, Avon and Lane Bryant, in addition to working for Italian designers Elena Miro and Marina Rinaldi. Miller shot to fame in September 2009 after Glamour magazine ran a photo of the curvy beauty as part of a piece on women who are comfortable with their bodies.
To be honest, I've always found Minnie fine as she was," added Wilhelmina Models' Robyn Lawley, the first plus-size model used for Ralph Lauren advertising.
The first trailer for "Iron Man 3" is here ... and April 2013 can't come soon enough!
The clip is packed with glimpses at some of the new additions to the Marvel movie universe, including shots of Sir Ben Kingsley as new bad guy, The Mandarin, and someone in the Iron Patriot suit.
And while Sir Ben will likely steal the movie, the most impressive part of the trailer is the massive destruction he causes to Tony Stark's gorgeous Malibu mansion.
The place gets blown away in the video, with the fates of Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) unknown. Our guess: They're fine.
The trailer also makes sure to mention the events of "The Avengers," which apparently weigh heavily on Stark -- who says almost dying in the alien battle left him with bad nightmares and an inability to sleep.
WOW - CHECK OUT THIS HOUSE!
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith got a visit from L.A. County Sheriff's deputies Monday, who were there to secure the property for a little lunch the Smiths are throwing for the First Lady of the U.S. of A.
Will, Jada and Salma Hayek are hosting the $2,500-a-head lunch for Michelle Obama this Thursday. That's the bargain basement price. If people want their pic taken with Michelle Obama, the price of admission goes up to $10k a couple -- the good news, that includes lunch.
Several units from the Emergency Operations Bureau of the Sheriff's Dept. showed up to sweep the grounds ... inside and out. 
The Smiths live in Calabasas, behind a massive gate with a long, winding road that leads to the main house. Sheriff's deputies -- along with Secret Service -- were everywhere, looking for possible security breaches.
