I've got my first couple of posts up and running at OC Family. My column is also out in the print issue. If you can't get your hands on an OC Family Magazine, here it is: "You're Soooo Orange County."
You can click over and read my "Post Halloween Ritual" on my blog there as well. If you're still grousing about a bad deal you got from a Nov 1st candy trade with an older sibling years ago, you'll be happy to know, you're not the only one. Go read...
Um.. I would like all the Butterfingers, please. And--break a leg!!!

So happy for you. You deserve your spot there. You're very talented.

We've been doing much sorting here and I'm sneaking candy. They haven't figured out the part about counting their candy. Until then...I'll continue sneaking.

So, I was at Ruby's the other day, and I picked up an OC Family magazine, and I saw you! I felt like I knew a celebrity. Yes, I likened you to a celebrity, how you like them apples?

Congrats, Suz. I'll have to surf on over.
It looks like quite a haul for Halloween. Has everyone finished bouncing off the walls?

You're doing a great job juggling everybody! Sure it was and is a lot to get your head around. You're the perfect gal for the gig.

Big congrats, Suz! You are a wonderful writer and you deserve to be read all over the place! Love this pic of the post-trick-or-treat booty, too! So much fun to see the kids sort through everything. My son was into trading with friends, too. Such negotiations over a Snickers bar!
