Every Year, All The Leftover Halloween Candy Goes Onto A Birthday Cake

I don't know about you, but my kid ends up with more trick-or-treat candy than she can possibly eat. I don't mean more than I'll let her eat – we're not a Switch Witch household. I mean that I'll find her candy bucket the week of Thanksgiving and there will be a layer of stale stuff she didn't get around to consuming at the bottom. Maybe you're in the same position.

Well, our own Katy Elliott has a lovely solution: It goes on a cake. I love this idea, and this piece!

We're Divorced, But We're Still Partners

"When my ex and I separated 10 years ago, we were very clear about one thing: our kids would come first," writes Diana Park. "They'd come before our feelings about each other, new partners, and any hurt, sadness, or mourning we had. It was important that our kids didn't get caught in the crossfire of our divorce. I'm proud of us as parents; we've done a good job with all three of our kids. Not a perfect one, but a damn good one."

But she got something else out of the arrangement that has really surprised her.

What To Make For Dinner On Halloween

"Halloween is one of those holidays that you can feel pulsing throughout the entire day. Everyone's spirits are high, costumes are worn to work and school, candy corn is a breakfast consideration — it's just one big, fun day from start to finish. But it can feel a little hairy the closer you get to trick-or-treating, especially on a school night," writes Samantha Darby. What are you supposed to feed these little ghouls??? She's got some advice.

24 Amazon Finds Scary Mommy Editors Are Loving In October 2024

October has been the longest year (amirite?), but there was an Amazon Prime Day earlier this month. Like many of you, we stocked up during that event, but there's always some random, last-minute thing you need ASAP. So we rounded up everything else we liked on the site this month. Need a stool? A white noise machine? You probably could use some new underwear. We've got you covered.
