I Want My Kids To Have An Old-Fashioned Halloween

Let's do it!

Sep. 23, 2024 throwback I Want My Kids To Have An Old-Fashioned Halloween Great news, Halloween fans, your time is now. Today we're officially launching Spooky Mommy, our annual issue dedicated to the holiday. And first up, we have Samm Davidson on a topic that'll resonate with a lot of you: how great Halloween was back in our day. She writes: "Every year, as soon as the leaves start changing colors along the quiet street of my New England town, I am immediately reminded of one of my favorite '90s childhood memories: Halloween. It was the highlight of every autumn, a night of uncomplicated, untethered, old-fashioned fun. It's the kind of fun I wish for my four kids — the kind that's often so difficult to get today, between the screen obsession and the over-packed schedules. And so every year, I do my best to create a Halloween night for them like the ones from my childhood. Because God, they were magical." And she talks a little bit about how, too!

It Doesn't Get Any Better Than A Halloween Birthday While we're on the topic of Halloween, let's talk about birthdays. Meg St-Esprit is convinced Halloween is the best time to have one, and today she's making the argument: "Whenever I tell another mom that my youngest child's birthday is in August, they inevitably make a comment about how nice it must be to be able to throw parties in the summer. I won't lie: it is a snap. From a Taylor-themed picnic at our local pool to a piñata dangling from a park shelter, summer birthdays are simple to set up. But while my youngest enjoys her fun in the sun, my older three kids really hit the jackpot." She's convincing! Read More ⮕ What Else We're Reading ⮕ Kids Need More Freedom.
