What about Halloween?

We pick out costumes. We carve pumpkins. We decorate our yard.We go to parties and celebrate with friends. We eat pumpkin cookies, bread and candy. We trick or treat.

The only thing we do differently, is swap the sugar foods for blood sugar safe treats. That’s it. And man…I wish I had thought of this earlier.

The “Switch Witch” comes and takes the bag of candy and swaps it for gifts or candy that works. Some people wait until the morning, we just do it that night. We leave the bags outside, and she flys in on her broom for the exchange. My kids have never been more excited. Instant gratification. Instant excitement. Instant fun.

My kids will never forget the Switch Witch. It will definitely be a tradition they pass onto their kids.

I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again…sugar doesn’t make holidays memorable. It’s the experiences and memories we make with the ones we love that matter.
