Black Cats

For thousands of years, in countries all around the world, black cats have been considered omens of good luck; in ancient Egypt, they were believed to be divine. Why is it that black cats in the United States today still can’t shed their unlucky reputation?

Halloween Bubble Gum Competition

Bubble gum, bubble gum, in a dish! Games are a great way to invite and structure play with the kids in your life. What better time than Halloween to have some fun and laugh together as a family? Games and contests can be a fun part of any Halloween, but they’re especially welcome this year…
