I loved this idea from Grassroots Books in Reno, Nevada too much to not mention! Leslie Allfree of Allfree Living (food allergy consulting) shared this tidbit: Grassroots Books is supporting a cavity free Halloween by offering Trick or Book packs of 25 books for $12.99! They sell new and used books and I just think this is a wonderfully creative idea that fully crosses over and supports THE TEAL PUMPKIN PROJECT. I know many people were looking for suggestions of non-food items and lo and behold this appears. Apparently, this sale goes on all month long but is only localized to Reno, Nevada. I wanted to share this idea since those who do not live in the Reno area, might check out your own local bookstores to see if they have any Halloween deals too!
These Teal Project pumpkins were purchased at Target
I am just loving every non-food minute of this wonderful movement of addressing the health and well being of children on Halloween. I’m first in line for chocolate no doubt, but having other options to help balance things out is crucial to a great and safe Halloween!
Good work Grassroots Books–I also want to mention that I am a huge Grassroots Books fan for a few reasons: the great finds, affordable pricing and their support of the food allergy community! They are HUGE supporters of our local food allergy support group along with sharing awareness! Bravo!!
One of the hardest things I find about managing both life threatening food allergies and asthma is talking to others. I hate to be the one that might be perceived as demanding, pushing or for asking too much. What I now know, fourteen years later, is that honest, clear information presented with kindness works!..
