Finer Things of Halloween: Sweet-less Trick-or Treats
October 19th, 2009 · 40 Comments · Special Situations
Must Halloween be an all-out sugar fest for our kids? Luckily Buddy Boy is still (just barely!) young enough that when he gets one (small) piece of candy as a dessert after a meal, he’s content with that and sees it as a treat. (Would I like it better if he ate no candy? Of [...]
