It’s #OrangeSeason from Buy Costumes-and you get all the treats #Ad

I’m participating in a campaign and this is a paid post. All thoughts are my own and my go-to (lame) costume for years really was the ‘tourist’. Halloween is nigh, it really is. I know you look at the calendar and think that you’ve got all the time in the world. However we both know that September will breeze through and October is a blur, suddenly it’s Halloween and you’re using that ‘tourist’ costume that wasn’t funny the first time your wore it. Buy Costumes kicks off its second annual Orange Season on Tuesday, September 2. Orange Tuesday runs through November 4 and features the Orange List, top costumes, party themes and treats – and a one day, Black Fridayesque sale with itemspecific “Orange Busters” and sitewide savings of 25 percent off everything Halloween.

Taking the kids out for a pre-school picnic with @FritoLay #Ad

This is sponsored by Frito-Lay, all opinions are my own. Those parents with pre-school children have a two week delay before mother’s morning out or pre-K starts. We’re choosing to take this as a blessing because it allows more time with our two small children who will never be this size again. On this day we packed up loads of Frito-Lay snacks and went park hopping. On the docket today is a new park and an established one that we visit regularly.

Kang & Kodos! finally have their one-shot on Bongo Comics

Kang & Kodos, the space aliens from The Simpsons are two of our favorite characters from the show. They’re the animated, alien equivalent of Statler and Waldorf from the Muppets. Two sets of characters that both have great one liners, are sometimes present, but haven’t gone too far in regular episodes. Because of that, The Simpsons have always used Kang & Kodos sparingly and usually on the Halloween episode. Their first solo shot in comics is appropriately called Kang & Kodos and is very rewarding for fans of the show.
