We ended up in Chicago for Halloween for a family emergency. To which my two year old asked "Mommy do they trick or treat there?" in horror as she worried about whether or not she could be Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz in Chicago.
I had already planned on the "bait and switch" with my daughter's Halloween candy before we got the call to head to Chicago for the family emergency. So I definitely took my treats with me.
I found a great alternative to the crap that is handed out on Halloween. The lollipops I found are Organic, contain no artificial dyes, no corn syrup, no artificial flavors. They are by Yummy Earth yummyearth.com . They are seriously delicious!! I tried one to make sure before she had one and YUM!
So Yes I did. I was THAT Mommy that gave her one before we started to Trick or Treat.....so having already reeled her in I knew it would be easy to switch up the crap candy she would get while Trick or Treating with the Lollipops I bought. She loved them and never even thought she was missing out.
Yes, I did get grief for bringing them up there and doing it, but I don't care. My daughter did not have anything with Corn Syrup (GMO), artificial dyes (cancer), or artificial flavors (who knows).
I am proud to be THAT Mommy. I am not trying to fit in, I am trying to do the best I can by my daughter no matter what the holiday is! Does it make me a freak, maybe? Do I care? no way!
Till next Blog.....
