Teal Pumpkins –  Don’t Forget Treats for Kids With Allergies

Halloween is coming and we all know that many kids are allergic to nuts, milk, egg, soy or wheat.

Remember to have (if you can) other kinds of treats.  I try to offer small toys, sticker and other alternatives.

Let parents know that you have different kinds of treats by putting a TEAL pumpkin or display a TEAL pumpkin sign in your window.   If you are looking for Teal pumpkin homes, check out the map of locations.

Have Your Heard About The Great American Read?


THE GREAT AMERICAN READ is an eight-part series on PBS about America’s 100 best-loved novels (as chosen in a national survey).  But you don’t have to watch the series to enjoy the books and events.
Here are some ways to have fun with the Great American Read with your family.
1) Vote for your favorite books.
2) Choose a book to read as a family.

3) Grab an audio book from
Amazon or your local library.  Listen to it in your car or set aside time during the week to listen as a family.

4) Have a “friendly discussion” about which book is best.
