From Donna Pilato, your Guide to Entertaining
The Halloween decorations have popped out all over the neighborhood just like zombies from the graveyard. Too graphic for you? Well, then you don't want to take a stroll around my neighborhood! Have an Entertaining Week!

Have You Set the Stage for Halloween?
It was a beautiful weekend and it was clear that Halloween was on everybody's mind. Ghosts, zombies and tombstones have taken up residence on front lawns. Now would be a good time to set the stage inside, as well, for your Halloween party.

Host a Pumpkin Carving Party
There's no jollier symbol of autumn than the familiar pumpkin. And what fun it is each year to plan just how you'll decorate the seasonal charmer! Invite a few friends to join in the fun by hosting a Halloween pumpkin decorating party.

Do You De-Clutter Your Home Before Entertaining?
My house seems to grow clutter all on its own. So when I'm expecting guests, I turn into a whirlwind trying to put things in their proper places, only to see them emerge once the guests are gone. Is this really worth the effort? Take our poll and let us know how you handle the clutter when you entertain.

Celebrate Italian American Heritage Month
We celebrate Italian American Heritage month all of October. So there's no better time to invite your friends to come over for an Italian American Feast. Mangia Bene!
