I woke up this morning singing “I want Candy” by Bow Wow Wow. I realize that’s not really what the song is about, but from a child’s perspective – yes it is! Yesterday I was swept away in the candy isle at Wegman’s, like a kid in a candy store – I regressed. I try to keep my household’s processed sugar intake down because I notice a difference in our moods and overall energy levels when we eat fruit and nuts instead of candy and cookies. But it’s Halloween! Sure, we can have candy with breakfast! Sure, you can have a piece of candy in your lunch box! Does that make me a bad mother?
