Mom’s Halloween Secrets

It's that time of year again when your mom frantically searches through closets for scraps of material and seldom worn clothes whilst all the while screaming: 'Why didn't you tell me it was tomorrow?!' You're sure you did tell her that the school Halloween party was tomorrow and, to be fair, isn't it always around October 31st anyway? You'd love to help her out but hey, it's not your fault that you're not allowed to use scissors, glue or anything else that may come in handy for manufacturing a costume that doesn't look like you just bought it from Walmart.

Look Berry Sweet as Strawberry Shortcake

Strawberry Shortcake seems to only get sweeter with age. She’s come a long way since her original greeting card days in the 1980’s. Created as a card cartoon, she quickly gained popularity as a children's doll with her trademark scented hair. She made a few friends along the way with the equally delicious names of Blueberry Muffin, Lemon Meringue, and Raspberry Torte, to name a few. A story subsequently developed around Strawberry Shortcake, her friends, and their pets living together in Strawberryland and they all enjoyed immense fame as an 80's fad. Not even fragrant hair, however, could keep the Shortcake craze alive and her popularity began to wane in the late 80's. Yet for a "berry" sweet girl, ...
