Pick the right costume
Halloween now days is more intense than it was in 1970.
Costumes can be very scary for a little two year old. While many grand parents want to get creative with their grand children and make home made costumes including vampires, werewolves, and a bunch of fake blood, it is best to go with fun costumes

The ugly truth about greeting cards
Every year, there are 2.65 billion holiday cards sold in the U.S. That’s enough to fill a football stadium field 10 stories high!
Look for cards that contain recycled content or are actually recycled materials. You can make your own cards out of scrap paper found around the house.
Or, you could use old cards as name tags for presents or for colorful artwork to decorate your house. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
