It’s absolutely true, dogs double as kids. And when not espousing design advice or cluing you in to the best sales, I moonlight as an obsessed mom.

My kids particularly love dress-up (see above, that’s their Christmas photo from last year) and Halloween is a big deal. The good costumes sell out fast so, quick, get yourself to a keyboard and place your internet orders!  This year our house is all about action films and we’re going with The Joker (from Dark Knight) and Indiana Jones.
