There are some memories that we want to cherish for the rest of our lives. Your daughter’s first smile is most certainly one of those. Then there were the things we’ve done that we would rather forget. (Let’s just say that dying my hair years ago a stop-sign red was a very, very bad idea.)

Through the good times and the bad times, your family and friends have been there for you. Cherish the people close to you who truly care because as we have all learned after the passing of a loved one, they won’t be there forever.

Here’s where Things Remembered takes the lead and waltzes in with their engraved gifts and photo frames. Give them as gifts to your mother, your boss, or the guy at the grocery store who always double-bags your stuff without you having to ask.

As a more mature individual, you’ve seen a lot of good, bad, and ugly. You went through fashion phases that delighted and appalled. But then you arrived to this final conclusion: trends come and go, but class is always here to stay.

With the artistic touch of autumn’s paintbrush, lush landscapes spring to life full of warm, rich hues. And as the temperature takes a dip, something other than the leaves changes. It’s hard to describe, but the air smells and feels refreshingly minty.

At Hallowe’en you can take on a different persona. To date, I’ve been a cat, ER surgeon, hippie, cop, goth punk rocker, witch, devil, princess, angel, and She-Ra. I’m not sure what I’ll go as this year, but I always think of something.

Get a head start, and go costume shopping before the maddening crowds bombard the stores. If you order online from Toys R Us by October 4, you’ll get 35% off select Hallowe’en costumes! Just be sure to use the free Toys R Us coupons to save on everything from Spiderman to Tigger outfits.

Oh my gosh! There are so many great costumes available for infants, children, adults, and pets, but these ones for kids definitely take the cake for the cutest and/or funniest:

When Life Hands You Lemons, Dress up As a Lobster

The vibrant, imaginative Lobster getup fits infants 12-18 months old. It’s too adorable for words with its funky extra legs, hat with antenna and eyes, plus hand covers in the shape of claws. There’s even a special zippered area so changing diapers won’t leave parents feeling like the adults in Robert Munsch’s book, Thomas’ Snowsuit.

Let This Black Cat Cross Your Path

Okay, so I’m totally a sucker for felines! You’ll fall for them, too the moment you set eyes on the black Cat’s Meow Hoodie Set for very-young infants aged 0 to 3 months. The hoodie has spunky cat ears, and there’s a small bib that says ‘Meow’ in a white scripted font.

It’s Alive!

Give some love for the insane Doctor/Mad Scientist Roleplay Costume that comes with a white lab coat. Wear it with Coke-bottle glasses and a crazy white wig. And don’t forget to fill a plastic test tube with neon liquid for extra drama. This outfit fits children 4-6 years old.

Come take a look around today at Toys R Us! There’s so much to see, and my entry doesn’t do their selection justice. Buy something for your child(ren) and maybe even a fun outfit for yourself!

If there’s one thing that I love doing (other than writing for Fabu Daily, of course), it’s baking. It could be muffins or cookies. It doesn’t really matter. The aroma that wafts out of the oven is worth the messy clean up of battered wooden spoons and measuring cups.

So of course when I came across the latest Sur La Table offer, I just had to promote it! Use the free Sur La Table coupons by September 30 for 20% off bakeware! Think that’s great? (It is!) There’s more. Until October 31, you can also get 20% off porcelain items!

Just taking baby steps toward learning how to bake? I highly recommend The Joy of Cooking books. I’ve got the latest anniversary edition, and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve consulted it for everything edible.

But even if you have the best recipes handy, it won’t help if you don’t have the right pans or trays to make all your baking dreams a reality. These are some that no baker should be without, as they are pretty standard for most recipes.

That’s How the Cookie Crumbles

When cookies come out of the oven, they need to rest and cool off for a few minutes before you put them away in an air-tight container (yeah right - more like eating them!). This allows them to stay intact so you don’t get any of that crumbly business. Try the Sur La Table Cooling Grid for the best results.

Do You Know the Muffin Man?

Ever since I learned that song in daycare, I would sing it for hours straight. At least this is what my mother says. But enough about my budding singing career! Get the Sur La Table Nonstick Muffin Pans to make blueberry muffins (Mmm…my favorite!) or large cupcakes!

Love Note Day - I’m such a wuss for sappy mushy love notes. They’re so thoughtful and unexpected that make you feel so important and significant to someone. I’m not just talking about love notes from your sweetheart. I’m talking about love notes from anyone - your mom, dad, best friend or sibling. When me and my best friend first started high school, we really hated it to the point where we’d come home crying after school. Our moms would write us messages on our lunch bags putting smiles on our faces. It made the day that much more bearable. I have been fortunate that the guys who approached me (which weren’t many) would write me love letters or poems…now, things are a little different. There are two things called emails and text messages that I absolutely hate! They’re soo informal. Like come on people, you can’t tell someone you love them for the first time through a text message. You surely didn’t forget how to use your hands or fingers so take my advice and jot down a little love note and slip it in your partner’s bag or jacket. Once they find it and read it, the biggest grin will appear from their face! Here’s a little help from me: Expressionery.com. Save 20% on discount love note cards, labels and personalized stationery when you use Expressionery.com coupons.

Johnny Appleseed Day - For those of you who don’t know Johnny Appleseed, he originally went by the name John Chapman and he made his way by planting apple seeds along his travels west. He also made a decent living by selling trees to settlers he would meet. We celebrate Johnny Appleseed Day today because it was the day he was born. I feel like he was meant to sell and harvest apples because of the time of year he was born. We’re now officially in fall, and it’s also conveniently apple season, so when you put two and two together, it kind of makes sense that Johnny Appleseed sold apples for a living. He’s one of those people whose professions and birthdays are linked. You know what I mean? Like matchmakers who celebrate birthdays on or near Valentine’s Day! Get it? Well, I say today we celebrate Johnny Appleseed Day by eating an apple or two! Or you could check out Park Seed. They say the best time to plant apple seeds is in the late fall to winter months. There’s no time like the present to get everything you need to plant apple seeds so you could enjoy McIntosh and Golden Delicious varieties next spring! Apply Park Seed coupons and save 10% on apple seeds and other fruit seeds!

I’ve done plenty of shout-outs for full-figured women in the past on here, so now it’s time to focus on the short and sweet because we come in all different shapes and sizes. Even double-zero petite gals like me need love. So this entry is dedicated to all of you who are in the same boat and are seeking stylish career-appropriate clothes at prices that won’t break the bank.

During lunch last week, I went shopping with a co-worker. She ended up buying a pair of cute slouchy suede knee-high boots on clearance. I had my eye on brown ones, but the store didn’t carry my size. I’m used to this since I am cursed with Cinderella-sized feet - women’s 5!

That’s why oftentimes it pays for me to shop online. Not only can I see right away if they have my size in stock, but there are lots of offers that you would be hard-pressed to find in the stores.

I invite you to shop at Shoes.com with me. Let’s see what treasures we can uncover. I’m sure it won’t take long at all. And don’t forget to bring along your Shoes.com coupons until October 6 for:

• $20 off Orders of $100 or More
• $50 off Orders of $200 or More
