I’m hosting a neighborhood Halloween party later this month, and I know what music will be blasting from my speakers – Halloween Carols by Kristin Lawrence.

So Smart! Baby’s First Word Stories

Last week, I was invited to Williamsburg to check out their special Halloween “spooktacular,” Howl-O-Scream, but couldn’t make it because we were in New York at the time. […]
