What To Do With That Extra Halloween Loot

After one of our early Halloween years, when Pumpkin Pie came home with a pumpkin filled with loot that weighed nearly as much as he did, I implemented the Halloween candy limit. That year, he picked out a few and I told him the rest was going to kids who didn't get to trick-or-treat.

So, yes, as my husband often reminds me, I lied and I'm not allowed to do it again. When I brought a huge container of candy in for my officemates, they thought I was the meanest mom ever.

Well, now, there are better things you can do with all that extra candy (presuming you don't want to eat it all yourselves). Here's one option:

Donate to the Troops: MoverMoms is collecting candy through Nov. 7. Drop-off locations are at:
