For quite some time, I tried to keep candy away from my oldest. Ha! With candy at every holiday, church gathering, school event, and even the bank and other stores, it was impossible. I did think to teach him about moderation and teeth brushing, but it is a constant struggle, for sure. The effects that Halloween candy can …
This shop has been compensated. All opinions are mine alone. Teach your kids about fire safety. Our boys have always loved to play dress-up. If there is one real profession that they love pretending to be the most, it is a firefighter. I think it has to do with getting to spray a really huge hose …

It’s what was right for our family at the time and given the opportunity, I’d do it all over again. I’m so …
