Last week, we went to the Time to Play show, where we were able to see many new lines of toys and get a glimpse of what’s coming up.  So what will be hot this holiday season?  Let’s take a look.

I was tweeting throughout, and I’m sure many of you saw the predictions.  Here of some of the toys that caught my eye as well.

Minecraft.  It’s all about Minecraft- so many kids love (read- are obsessed with) this game, the toys are sure to be a hit.

Halloween is traditionally celebrated in the United States on October 31st.  Halloween in the US centers around costumes and trick or treating, parties and fun for families in the day and adults at night time.  The costumes are available just about everywhere from places like Mr. Costumes to the local pharmacy.  Candy is available everywhere and parties are easy to find and even easier to throw yourself.  We all know how Halloween looks in the United States but what about in other countries, or other continents.  Lets take a look at Halloween in 4 countries.

First up we will visit the Philippines.  In the Philippines as of now Trick or Treating is becoming the tradition of choice for more modern people in the country but some still celebrate All Saints Day by Pangangaluluwà.  Which involved groups going home to home singing songs of Purgatory and accepting food and money to help pay for the masses of the dead.  Also items may move from the yard or around the house to other areas and this is thought to be the souls of those lost visiting the living by moving the items.

We travel often, and enjoy doing so.  We find any and every reason to go someplace new, try a new place, and new foods.  For many people, that part can be tricky- well, the whole travel experience can be. Like a growing number, I have an allergy that makes eating out sometimes difficult.  However, allergies don’t need to stop you from enjoying travel or trying new foods- they just require you to be a little more careful when doing so.

My husband and son enjoying some seafood in Cape Cod- I had the burger and fries and a lovely evening with my family.

I personally have a seafood allergy.  While I am traveling in the Midwest, this is not a problem.  Visiting Florida, the Bahamas, or really any island can be an adventure in eating.  Most of the menus are based on the easiest fare and what is the freshest, and least expensive to bring to the table- seafood.  For many, this is a great time to have the shellfish that is pricey or unavailable back home- for me, it’s trying to find “that thing” or two on the menu that doesn’t have scallops or conch in it.  Variety is the spice of life, but not an option when you need to steer clear of certain foods in certain places. It might not be what the specialty of the area or restaurant is, but it’s better then having to cook yourself, true?  Make do with what is available and you will still enjoy your trip, no point in staying home and letting life pass you by.

Thanks to Direct Energy for sponsoring today’s discussion.

As Google starts to enter the foray of home modernization it is clear the home of the future is a ‘smarter’ home.  Does this mean we install a brain in your house, and a good one at that?  What this means is, a more connected home which is aware of the world around it.  The way this works is through smart phone interfaces and internet connectivity.  Programmable thermostats, Smart Power strips for your devices, using dimmer switches, or installing a Nest Learning Thermostat, there are lots of options out there and the list goes on and on..

The category I see as most useful would probably be the smart thermostat and smart power strips.  Both of which will bring your home into the future but also give you added security to your home.  Doing so will make my busy life a little bit easier.  The smart thermostat lets the users change the temperature of the their home from afar.  So your home will always be comfortable to you when you get home.  It will also keep energy consumption to a minimum as well.
