For parents who are not big fans of sugar, chocolate, or artificial colors and flavors, Halloween presents a real dilemma. You don't want to be the heavy and spoil the fun, but on the other hand, you also may not be eager to deal with a kid who is hyped up on sugar for weeks or even months after the big day. Here are some ways to handle that gargantuan pile of candy:

1.) Let them eat all they want for a certain period of time, then throw out the rest. Share your opinions about health and nutrition with your child, and collaborate together on a time frame that feels relatively okay for both of you.

Expect major indulgence during that time. You are not allowed to make even one tiny little comment like "Are you eating candy again?" or mutter as much as single "I told you so" under your breath. The beauty of this option is that your child gets to experience his own tummy ache, sugar crash, headache, brain fog, or whatever. And when you stay out of it, he's got nowhere to place the blame except the candy.

By the way, I asked my dentist about this, and she said a few days of total indulgence is not likely to lead to tooth decay. It's far more damaging to bathe the teeth in juice, soda, coffee with sugar, or hard candy on a regular basis. So you've got the green light from her to use the approach.

Oh, and if you go this route, you might feel better about it if you focus on serving ultra-nutritious meals during that time.

2.) Let them have one piece a day. When we did this, the candy became a major focus of every day- which kind, when would they get to eat it, could they have just one more piece today, pretty please, Mom? I was the candy controller, which was a job I didn't care for. This option may deprive your child of getting to experience the joys and perils of overindulgence, and thus remove the opportunity for her to learn to regulate her own intake. Some kids will lose interest or forget to ask at some point, and then you can just throw it away.

3.) Do nothing. Just keep serving nutritious meals and snacks, and let them work it out on their own. The idea would be to fill 'em up with tempting and tasty healthy stuff, thus leaving less room for candy and giving their bodies more nutrients with which to process the junk. When my kids were little, I was too much of a nutrition and control freak for this to work for me, but I put it in the list for those of you who are more laid back and trusting than I was.

4.) Buy them off. Some parents pay money, and others prefer to exchange toys or fun activities for the candy. This can work pretty well if the payoff is big and exciting enough. I met hardly any resistance when I made the offer a day or two after Halloween. When they are getting sick of candy anyway, a new toy or trip to the aquarium looks pretty appealing.

5.) Teach them the possible effects that candy could have on their bodies, moods, and concentration, tell them you know that they will figure out what feels best for their bodies, and let it go. Invest your energy in being a good role model and preparing nutritious meals instead.

6.) Substitute healthier versions. Sunspire makes tasty chocolate, Panda makes yummy licorice, and there are lots of other options at your local health food store, including vegan gummy bears!

7.) Argue about it every day until their trick or treat bucket is empty. Tell them their teeth will rot if they keeping eating all that candy. Try to make them feel guilty for liking sweets. And let me know how that works out for ya!

Star Wars Jedi Deluxe Knight Outfit Child Halloween Costume Size 4-6 Small (B487)

Star Wars Jedi Deluxe Knight Outfit Child Halloween Costume includes: Tunic with attached shirt, pants and belt.

Whether you are making homemade baby showers centerpiece for the food table or the gift table, you can easily come up and create you own masterpiece. Creativity goes a long way and saves a lot of money! When you begin brainstorming centerpiece ideas, revert back to your overall theme. If the mommy-to-be is having a boy and you have a shower that focuses on all the different sports, then maybe you could have a toy wagon or Tonka truck full of toddler sport equipment. If it is a beautiful baby girl that is expected them you could Care Bears in Diapers as their pastel colors would be perfect.

For the food table, your centerpiece should be your cake, or a diaper cake. A diaper cake is a non-edible creative "cake" made of diapers with baby shower gifts attached to it. You can place it in a cake dish if you would like for an added effect. The diaper cake would look just as great on the gift table and can serve as both a gift and a centerpiece. You could also place miniature pacifiers, bottles, or carriages, (found at your local Dollar Tree), around the food table. Another cute idea for the food table include a basket lined with a clean baby receiving blanket and filled with cookies. For the final touch to the "cookie basket" add a bottle filled with pastel colored m&m's! If your theme involves rubber ducks, why not add a baby bathtub filled with punch to your food table with floating rubber ducks.

For the centerpiece of the guest's tables, you could use:

• Candles shaped like baby bottles
• Remove the nipple from baby bottles and use the base as a vase; insert fresh or artificial flowers
• Remove the nipple from the baby bottle and insert candy
• Styrofoam Baby Bootie Cups - these are adorable baby booties made from styrofoam cups that you can insert mints, jelly beans, etc. in.
• Alphabet Blocks

The gift table could easily go without a centerpiece for an inexpensive baby shower as it is likely to be bright and colorful with all the wrapped gifts. As stated earlier, the diaper cake would be perfect. Other great ideas include:

• Diaper wreath - this could also be hung on the delivery room door
• Balloons - by themselves or attached to a diaper stuffed animal or floral arrangement
• Floral arrangement

Making your own centerpiece is easier than you think and you will wow your guests and yourself with these great ideas.

Jedi Knight Robe Star Wars for Child Halloween Costume

Kids costumes for Star Wars aficionados! This Jedi Knight Robe costume will take you from the planet Tattoine to the Death Star to Yoda and back again!! Use the force!

Author of two books and many short stories, J.P. Ransom is busily writing a series of books called Colla'd Greens and two more upcoming books including a sequel to Born Evil. Obviously this author has caught the writer's flu!

Born Evil is a compact, 150-page book that is printed on acid-free paper - which may be of interest to the environmentally conscious consumer. I would categorize this book as a chilling horror, which involves an infant that is born evil. Traumatized by early experiences, only compounds Jonathan's natural inclination - a cruel desire to cause harm. Unprepared for a disturbed child, his adopted parents are continually wallowing in deep pits of overwhelming uncertainty. Rick suspects the truth, but Trish finds it very hard to imagine or even accept that little Jonathon is capable of such hateful acts.

I think the book makes a good point that some people are simply born with a desire to do harm, with no abusive situation to attribute these urges to. Readers are also shown how these urges can easily be encouraged through socially acceptable entertainment and through being witness to violent acts.

While reading Born Evil, I experienced a wide range of emotions from anger to sorrow and shock. The conclusion was exceptional and I look forward to J.P. Ransom's sequel."

Anyone interested in purchasing a copy of J.P. Ransom's book (ISBN# 1410788520) may find it useful to do an Internet search on the author. Reader may order the book in at any retail or online bookstore or through their local library.

Children's Pig Halloween Costume (Sz: Medium 8-10)

I can't tell you how glad I am that there isn't some movie this Thanksgiving about some dysfunctional family gathering.

Much as those films can bring laughter, "Gee I'm glad my family isn't that screwed up," I often didn't laugh because the families on the screen seemed saner than mine. Either way, the films often do not offer healthy modeling of the powerful healing that can happen in family gatherings.

For instance, right now I am here in Colorado, with Drew's family. Drew's mom came to pick us up at the airport and brought Mabel Barth, founder of the Listening Post to have lunch there.

Mabel is 100 years old, and one of the liveliest people I have ever met. She reached her hand out to meet me, and with her one working eye, connected to me with more love and presence than most people I meet who are half her age.

For 27 years, The Listening Post has provided a safe space for students of all ages to express feelings of joy, anger, rejection, failure and confusion. Practitioners set up tables with a sign, and simply listen to whomever approaches.

Each person is respected and accepted just as they are at the moment, with the opportunity to discuss options without judgment and without advice.

At one point the organization had volunteers in over 48 states. Mabel was fascinated with the work I do with women. She leaned in close to me and said, "you know, you can make people feel like a million dollars, just by listening."

I agree whole-heartedly. And it's not something that comes naturally to me. Although I love people, I grew up with a father who didn't like to listen to anyone. The longest conversation I've ever had with him lasted less than 5 minutes. And I've come to realize that it's been a core wound that has helped to shape my life purpose. Having not been seen nor heard truly for who I was growing up, I've learned the power of truly seeing others. And every time I practice the art of listening, miracles abound.

If you've ever had difficulty with family reunions, the main reason is because as children we grow up looking for a sense of validation from our parents and can contort ourselves into all sorts of interesting positions in order to try and please them (or displease them as the case may be.) In both cases, it is very easy to go into unconscious and reactive behavior.

A wonderful tool, to disarm old triggers, is to treat yourself this holiday season to the power of simply listening. Try and see if you can drop all agenda to fix, change, justify, or prove anything. You'll find that your ability to be fully present to each family member allows others to show up as their True selves.

And most importantly, turn an inner ear for your own needs. Make sure you have time to be fully present to your own emotions without judgment, agenda, or the desire to fix, and you'll be pleasantly surprised at how easily your true nature of appreciation and joy can surface as a result.

Happy, gracious, joyful Thanksgiving to you!

Navy Black Adult Costume

Includes: sailor top with details, dungarees and white cap.
Customer Review: Well made costume
This costume is well made and attractive. Actually looks better than in the picture. I was afraid it would be loose and frumpy, but was actually quite a good fit. Beware BuySeasons though, I paid for expedited shipping and it took 8 days for it to arrive.

Christmas has presents, Easter has eggs, the Fourth of July has fireworks and Halloween has costume parties. Everyone, especially adults, love Halloween because it is the time of year that you can pretend to be someone else, even just for a few hours. Costume parties are big this time of year, and if you are thinking of holding one of your own, here are a few tips for you.

Choose the Right Finger Food
When you are putting together your Halloween party, you should try and make sure you are able to provide the right kind of finger food for the event. Fruit cake will not be received well by the guests, but carrots and black olives will not only fit the colors of Halloween, but the black olives can be "eyes" for the guests to snack on. If you want some punch that fits the theme, use food coloring to give it that "bloody" look. Put some plastic spiders on the dishes, and you have a great finger food table, with some great Halloween finger food.

A Good Halloween Movie
Nothing can set the mood for a Halloween party like a scary movie, and if you have a big screen, all the better. When everyone is over, start a scary movie like Dawn of the Dead, Friday the 13th or any other classic. Turn off the lights and let everyone get right into the movie. Maybe at various times throughout, especially during a zombie movie, sneak up on someone and "attack" them. This will give the rest of the evening a very scary feel to it. It will also have everyone enjoying the root of Halloween; being scared and dressing up.

Halloween Games
Halloween is also well-known for being about games. You can try some of the age-old games like bobbing for apples, which is a lot of fun, or you can try some new types of activities. Perhaps a tour of a haunted house you have made. It will scare your guests and have them laughing at the same time. Costume contests, scary stories and more will also fit into the Halloween theme. There are plenty of things for you to do, all it takes is a scary imagination.

Halloween is a fun holiday, and if you are going to throw a Halloween party, make sure you turn it into a scary affair. Everyone wants to have fun of course, but being scared can be fun too, especially on October 31.

Kid's Lobster Halloween Costume (Size: Small 4-6)

Halloween, a day of fright, folklore, goblins and above all fun for all those who are of a mind to simply enjoy themselves by letting loose their imagination however many may ask what is the history behind this holiday that has come to be celebrated through out the world? First off all we might ask what are the origins of the name Halloween and what if any meaning does it have?

Regarding the origins of the word Halloween, the answer is a simple one. It all started many centuries ago when there was a Catholic holiday called "All Martyr's Day"; celebrated on May 13 however it came to be that the date was changed to the 1st of November while the name transformed to All Saint's Day". This change prompted that October 31, the day before came to be known as "All Hollow's Evening". As one can now observe "Halloween" is the short form of these two words, put in to one.

This explains the name Halloween however what about the rest? Where did it came about that people took to putting on customs in an attempt to frighten others? Well the explanation to this lies in Ireland; as it was there and according to the calendar of the Celts that the 1st of November was the first day of the year which made the 31st of October the last day. Tradition had it that on this last day of the year which the Celts referred to as Samhain; the line that separated the living from the dead all but disappeared; making it possible for the souls of the dead to intermingle with the living. However the souls of the dead contacted the living with evil intentions. These being to posses their bodies so they might come back to the world of the living, thus escaping from the spiritual world. It was secure in their believe that ancient Celtics felt the need to put on costumes of fright which they felt would surely ward off those evil spirits which were bound to attempt to posses their bodies.

In a way one could see that this to the Celtics which eventually became a tradition was not really so much a matter of having fun but a form of saving their souls and bodies; therefore it was with this in mind that they also went about their neighborhoods making as much noise as possible. Now in the 21st century, we of course can think of this is as being silly but to the Celts it was anything but as it sometimes happened that after Samhain; a person was even killed by those near him or her who believed the person they were killing was no longer the person they had known but a body inhabited by an evil spirit. Naturally with the passing of the years, faith in the concept that one could have one's body taken waned and Halloween became a more ceremonial event as well as a joyous one for both children and adults.

Now a days for instance in the United States, Halloween is the second biggest money making holiday. Second only to Christmas, as it is during the weeks that lead up to this day that many a person; both very young and not so young go out and purchase a costume in order to attend either a Halloween party or go "trick or treating". Costumes however are not the only items available to those wishing to spend money on the celebration of Halloween as they may also acquire decorations, games and even foods connected with this day of ghosts and witches. Yes, Halloween even serves for the purpose of selling food products such as cakes and other edible objects which are made with decorations pertaining to this very special day of the year. All of which making Halloween a day which has more to it then just putting on strange clothes.

During the last few years however the fad has lead people away from costumes of freight such as ghosts or vampires and in to more diversified fields such as some of the younger ladies dressing up as princesses while some of the boys do so as action heroes such as Batman. Of course there are those who obtain their ideas for dressing up from history books and become Napoleon Bonaparte, George Washington or other such characters whose image has lasted through out the years. I for my part ;if I could find the costume which would make me the character I wish to be? This I can say with all sincerity that I would become Darth Vader or at least for the day that is Halloween. This being the case since I am a huge Star Wars fan.

Halloween in this day and age is celebrated all through out the world and contrary to what many may think it did not start in the United States but in Ireland and it was also there that the idea of bobbing for apples came about as the Romans brought it when they invaded many years later. Another Halloween tradition in the United States is "trick or treating" however this concept is not connected so much with Samhain but with a certain group of people; who during the middle ages performed an act which came to be called "souling". Souling being where a person would knock on somebody's door asking for "soul cakes" in exchange for which he or she would say a prayer for the souls of the dead relatives of the one who should be generous enough to give out "soul cakes". Today however this practice has changed in many ways as it has turned in to children going from door to door saying "trick or treat"; where the person answering the door is confronted with the choice of either giving a treat which might be a sweet or something of the sort or having some dastardly trick played on his home. These tricks however for the most part are harmless and limited to having something written on his or her door with chalk (which can be easily washed away) or some trash being left and rarely if ever go beyond what could be hailed as a prank.

In conclusion we could say that Halloween is a day that can be celebrated by just about anybody given its not being either a religious holiday nor one connected to patriotism; all of which makes it the ideal international holiday it has become. As for myself personally it has been in the time which I have lived in Poland that I have made every effort to bring the tradition of Halloween not only to my daughter, Paullina but to her friends who last year much to my near shock and that of several of the neighbors went out "trick or treating". All of which made me see that my efforts to bring the wonder of Halloween to Poland have not been in vain.

As for the details regarding my life I would say that there is nothing that lifts them above the ordinary. I was born in New York City in 1967 on May 21st and am presently living in Warsaw, Poland where I wrote my first book "New York's Opera Society" now Available on Amazon.
