The Teal Pumpkin
A few weeks before Halloween, I started to see some people talking about the Teal Pumpkin Project. I did a little research and found out that it is for Food Allergy Awareness. The gist of it is, you are supposed to paint a pumpkin teal, and then off both candy and non-food items to kids with allergies on Halloween. Well I could absolutely get on board with that! Halloween is probably the most stressful holiday for a food allergy parent, so I was happy to do anything I could to help. First off, all the candy I bought to give out was peanut and nut free. I put that on the sign I left when we were out. I also had some gummy candy that was chocolate and dairy free as well. I painted our pumpkin teal that morning, and wrote on it that we were an allergy friendly house. I had picked up some small toys at the store and placed them in a bowl to hand out with a sign that said they were for kids with allergies. We were not really home most of the afternoo...
