Holidays

In our opinion, it’s the hardest to shop for the moms in our lives. That’s why we’re sharing our The Local Moms Network Holiday Wishlist, with fun picks from our moms nationwide.

Need a last-minute cocktail for a pared down holiday meal? These festive sips will take you from Thanksgiving through New Year’s–and are easy enough to make any night of the week.

The traditional image of The Thanksgiving Turkey being carved at the dinner table is very romantic, but it not practical, nor is it the best way to serve/carve your turkey. It should be done on a cutting board, with a very sharp knife, in the kitchen. The dos and don’ts of turkey carving!

Social distancing may have put a damper on Halloween festivities last year but kids can safely get out their costumes this year. Magna Dias, MD, Chair of Pediatrics at Bridgeport Hospital and Regional Medical Director for Inpatient Pediatric Services at Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital offered a few tips for families to have a safe and healthy Halloween.

Looking for some candy-free options for Halloween this year? Whether your child’s school doesn’t allow candy, you want to offer kids (and parents) a healthier option or want to participate in the Teal Pumpkin Project (allergy-free options in a blue pumpkin), we have you covered.

It’s the season of ghosts and goblins and we are thrilled to share our list of brand-new picture books along with some timeless favorites that are perfect for getting children excited for Halloween! We hope you enjoy these spooktacular booooks as much as we do!
