Moms Check In – What Is Your Favorite Pumpkin Recipe
I love pumpkin everything! I think pumpkin pie is probably my favorite but pumpkin in baked goods (breads, muffins, etc.) is soooo delicious.
I love a good old fashioned pumpkin pie, piled high with Cool Whip!
Pumpkin is my thing. I love it. Before fall even started I ordered a case of pumpkin.

Moms Check In – What is your favorite pasta?
October must be a month for foodies. Pizza is being celebrated all month long. Of course pumpkin is everywhere. Candy is abundant. Did you know that it is also the month of National Pasta Day? It was last week! Did you celebrate?

My favorite pasta dish is chicken parmesan. We have an easy peasy one that we fix almost WEEKLY. I’m actually craving it right now as I type! Other than that……I’m not a huge pasta person, but I do also love a good homemade mac-n-cheese. Mm. Mmm. Mmmmmmm.

delicious.

My absolute favorite pasta dish is Pad Thai. I love the fried rice/noodle combo, stir-fried with eggs and tofu, and the flavorful nuances of shrimp,
garlic, pickled vegetables and spices, peanuts and a wedge of lime. My mouth is watering as I write this.

You Are Invited! #EasyToGive #UNICEF Twitter Party
We are so excited to be partnering with UNICEF and HSN to bring you the #EasyToGive #UNICEF Twitter Party!
Did you know that while your child is out collecting candy this year that they can be helping to save the lives of children around the world? Trick or Treat for UNICEF started in 1950 as a way for kids to help kids. Since then, children have taken UNICEF collection boxes (you can get one for free here) with them trick or treating collecting change for this amazing cause! Since 1950 children have raised over $170 million dollars while trick or treating!
This year UNICEF has made fundraising even easier! In addition to taking the iconic boxes with you while trick or treating you also have the option of creating an online fundraising page. In just a few seconds, you can set up a Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF fundraising page to share with friends and family. The money you raise will help save and protect children by providing clean water, nutritious food, lifesaving vaccines and more. Because some kids need more than candy.
Your donation can make a big difference!
Be sure to join us on Thursday, Oct. 16th from 1-2 PM (Eastern) to learn more about UNICEF, their mission and to talk about what you can do!
During the party we will be giving away some pretty fantastic prizes including:

Moms Check In – What Will You Hand Out For Halloween This Year?
Can you believe that Halloween is so close? Eeek! Me either! This week we want to know, what do you hand out for Halloween?
And don’t forget, next Thursday (10/16) from 1-2 PM we will be having a Twitter Party with UNICEF and HSN! There will be some pretty amazing prizes – over $300 worth! Be sure to RSVP here!
I go for the good stuff! But honestly, it’s probably more for selfish reasons than anything. I buy lots of candy “just in case” which really means so when we don’t use it all I can claim it. I’m a big fan of Kit Kats, Twix and Milky Way. YUM!! 🙂

We give out candy, and sadly it’s usually candy that I like so I munch on it before Halloween…which usually means I need to go buy another bag before the trick-or-treaters get here. You’d think I’d learn my lesson, but apparently not. Those Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups just cannot be denied!
– Lindsay is the mom of 2 and author of See Mom Click. She shares great deals, Disney happenings and recipes. You can follow her on Twitter here!
When I was a kid it was a big deal to get mini chocolate bars for trick or treat so that’s what I give out. I may or may not have to sample a few of them.

Get Organized Week with Moms Check In
Did you know that this week is Get Organized Week. Seriously! It’s on the calendar! No lie! That got all of us thinking and talking about our own homes. I don’t know about you, but my house can always use more organizing! So we want to talk this week about what area of your home needs the most organization help?
Our mail area and counter is the worst! Between mail and school papers it gets cluttered quickly and really easily. It’s such an eye sore too. I’ve been working on tackling it, but I’m learning quickly that it’s going to take everyone tackling it together! 🙂

I need the most help in organizing the clutter. It tends to take over the house sometimes. Oh, and I think my kitchen cabinets need an organized makeover. I’m working on that now but my ears are open and ready for any tips from the organized mommas!!

Oh please, which part *doesn’t* need help? Paper clutter is my biggest problem by far so I’m going to say my kitchen. That’s where all the mail comes in, all the school papers, and all my lists to myself. It piles up until I make the time to sort it. I’m a terrible filer and badly need an organization system for my paper problems. Send help!

Well…there’s this storage room in the basement that used to be empty. Somehow it has become a jumble of don’t-want-to-get-rid-of-this important fill-in-the-blank. It’s become a great rainy day project…except it might take a downpour like in the days of Noah before I’d get it finished.

I never dress up myself. I’m so boring. haha! The kiddo will be going as a Buzz Lightyear. He’s totally obsessed with him. He loves trick or treating and I think he’ll be tickled when he gets to wear his costume to school!

Moms Check In What is Your Ideal Girls Night Out?
National Women’s Friendship Day is this Saturday! My friends are so important to me. I think it is important to make a little time to spend with your friends. Friends are just what we need to keep us grounded, calm and relaxed. I need my friends for an occasional girl’s day or night. Just a few hours with my friends and I am one happy lady! 🙂
My how times have changed. I really would have answered this so differently 15 years ago! Now my ideal girls’ day out would be coffee and breakfast in a cute little coffee shop, followed by some sort of spa day. We need manicures and pedicures in there too. They don’t happen nearly often enough. After that, some shopping and an early evening chick flick at the theater would be fantastic! Now who wants to go with me?
– Lindsay is the mom of 2 and author of See Mom Click. She shares great deals, Disney happenings and recipes. You can follow her on Twitter here!
My ideal GNO/GNI revolves around great food and great conversation, not necessarily in that order! It doesn’t happen often enough. Now that Sam is a little older I feel like I can take more “me” time so it’s bumped up on my priority list.
– Stephanie is the mom to Sam and the author of Spaceships and Laser Beams. If you ever need party ideas her site is the place to visit! Specializing in all things boy, it’s full of inspiration! Follow her on Twitter here!
My ideal girls night out would consist of a good chick flick, dinner at my fave spot – Texas Roadhouse, and maybe even an adult drink or two. I NEVER get those, darn it!! I’m pretty easy to please. A fun night IN with the girls would probably be spent watching a movie, some bad for us snacks and drinks and a DIY mani/pedi!

Girls Night is a necessity! I am in a small group through our church called Girls Night Out (great name right?) and we meet every week. I look forward to it!! We meet for a couple hours and talk, hang out, eat dinner, sometimes do a Pinterest inspired project. I try to meet my best friend for lunch or manicures at least once a month. Sometimes we go longer. But we talk everyday! I think we need to make some time for our friends not only for them, but for ourselves too!
