I love candy so much. It ranks right up there with French fries. So obviously as a Fit Mama, it's got to stay out of my life as much as possible. I really don't want to have it in my house.

October is here, which means it's time to dig out your trusty black witch's hat and gear up for Halloween. Shopping around, there are so many great Halloween products and ideas out there that I thought I'd take a minute to tell you about of few of my favorites.

Last weekend my husband and I braved the black hole known as our garage to look for our Halloween decorations. Buried in the piles of junk was a medium sized box containing all of our decorations.

Even though we love Halloween, we don't have a lot of decorations. We've only owned a house for three years, so we've tried to buy one or two new decorations each year. With our current financial situation, we couldn't afford fancy… Read More
