Green Halloween?

Happy Halloween!

If you have kiddos I hope you have plans for lots of fun, costumes, neighborhood trick-or-treating walks, and maybe dodging a few raindrops!

People often ask me what I as a health coach think of Halloween. Let me make it simple.

  • I am all about fun and celebration
  • My seven year old will trick-or-treat and have a blast
  • But no, there won't be an excess of candy at my house (at least not for long).
I think we can do better for our kids than bags and bags of artificial color, processed sugar, and high fructos corn syrup. Much better. I also think we can do all of this while still having a great time, in the spirit of the season.
