Ghosts and ghouls, it’s October. Which means it’s time to get a costume together for your child (and yourself!). First things first, in looking to make an eco-friendly costume, give yourself time. Don’t leave the costume to the last minute. In fact, if you haven’t started creating a costume yet, you should probably do so.
Eco-friendly costumes have a good deal of sweat equity – be it in construction or searching for items, or even knitting, crocheting and sewing. They take work! But they’re all quite worth it, I can guarantee that.
It is no secret I am a huge probiotic fan.
If you are unfamiliar with probiotics, they are beneficial microorganisms found in certain foods, like yogurts.

Bonus!

Let’s see a show of hands. How many of you have kids that have a shitload of toys? Pieces & parts of toys? Toys from fast food places? From birthday party goodie bags? Halves of toys that have no match, rendering it useless?
My kids would pull stuff out of their toy boxes, cubbies and bins in search of a particular toy. They would then step on these pieces and parts in the dark of night on their way to the bathroom and howl – ever stepped on some of those Legos? Yowch!
A couple of years ago during a rainy stretch in June after school let out, I had had enough. I went on a tear and got the kids swept up in my let’s get rid of this nonsense fervor. They got to hold on to the toys they loved and played with the most, and we donated or properly disposed of the rest.
