Halloween

I was truly surprised to hear about the Teal Pumpkin Project.  I think it is a great idea, which is why I want to spread awareness around the Teal Pumpkin and what it represents.  If you don't know what the Teal Pumpkin Project is...it's time to find out how you can create a safer, happier Halloween.

It's just a game, isn't it?  What's to be afraid of?  Also known as a spirit board, the ouija board has been used for years to communicate with spirits during a seance.  It's just a wooden board with the letter of the alphabet, numbers 0 - 9 and the words YES - NO - HELLO.  Seems harmless, right.  Well, I refuse to allow a ouija board in my house.

Stories like this are just too much to bear.  No child should have to go through things like this.  His focus should be playing sports, what costume to wear when he goes trick or treating and playing video games.  All the usual 7 year old 'kid' things.  But that's not life for Brock Chadwick, from Biddeford Maine.

I always prefer the traditional costumes, like a witch, bunny, devil or cat.  But, I also LOVE creative costumes that are put together with simple items around the house.  DIY is becoming a popular trend in our house.  If you are looking for some suggestions, consider these.
