Bub's Daddy Bubblegum Memories

I'm leaving for a week of sunshine in Louisiana soon, so perhaps I'm feeling a little friskier than usual. Scary thought. Or maybe my coating of normal has finally worn down to the center of weird underneath. Scarier thought.

Whatever, the result is pawkish humor. I was trying to think of a cute nickname for Arvind, relative to Bubblews. CEO is nice, but formal. That's his "dress blues" if you will. He needs some basic fatigues for everyday wear. So I thought of Bubblews Godfather.

But that has unpleasant mob associations. I didn't think that fit. Then I thought of Bubble Daddy. Better. But not quite it. And then I lit on the best moniker of all (I think). Bub's Daddy.   This was a fabu gum back in the early 70s. Anyone remember it? Daddy Bubblews and Bubblegum Memories - News - Bubblews

Kids Love Helping With Holiday Preparations

Entertaining little ones during holiday preparations can be a real juggling act. I've been a teacher for almost 30 years and a mom for 25. Plus I was a hands-on (in the way) kid myself. I'm the little tot in the photo and even at 3, I loved helping adults. So I know about making things kid friendly. I say don't just entertain, put them to work helping. I love it, my kids loved it and your children will too.
Here are ways kids can help with Thanksgiving.

* Party decorations patrol. Bust out the craft stuff, print turkey, pilgrim, Native American or fall foliage crafts. Have children color, cut and paste to make neat table decor. Here are free printable Thanksgiving activities.  Ways Kids Can Help With Thanksgiving Preparations
