Halloween seems to be the time of year kids are overdosing on sugar and candy.
And then, once the candy comes into the house, I just can’t seem to say no.
For years, I have not even handed out candy on Halloween! It’s just easier that way.
And the kids who come to our house love the goodies we give out anyway.
