looking for ideas for a *complicated* Halloween handout 🎃ok, here’s a fun one! i suspect this group will have some good suggestions. we are moving temporarily for the holidays, and we’ll be in our new place for Halloween. i’m excited because i think we’ll get a lot of trick-or-treat traffic — our current house gets almost none! to introduce ourselves to the new neighbors, i want to do a really fun Halloween hand out, something a little more involved than the typical candy bowl. as a kid, i remember that every once in a while i’d find a house that was handing out hot cider, hot dogs, fun stuff like that — and i want to give it a try this year! i also suspect that i’m probably a little crazy for trying to pull this off. any suggestions or ideas for me?13 answers

Salads...Okay…I think I’m just making salads wrong. I never really ate them growing up at home and now that I’m an adult I want to like them…but I am having a hard time moving away from a classic iceberg with some veggies and ranch. And honestly…not loving that. 😂 This mama has to eat better and lose some weight. Help me embrace the salad!6 answers
