You know what I hate about Halloween? No, not the candy. Really. That doesn’t bug me that much. It’s the small pieces of wrapper that drive me insane. My kids will eat a Snickers one day and even though it comes in ONE wrapper, by the time they’ve devoured the candy, the wrapper is in 16 little pieces all over my house. Even when they stand over the garbage can, tiny pieces of candy foil end up on the floor because they’ve fluttered right past the damn waste basket. I don’t get it. Kids and candy don’t mix in my house. Not because of the candy but because of the wrappers. So imagine my excitement when this came across my desk at work.
The Switch Bag is BRILLIANT! And what’s even better? Two Reno gals wrote and illustrated it. These two geniuses are both architects. When times were slow in their office, they got busy putting together a book to help save my sanity. The gist is that kids get to keep a couple of pieces of candy but the rest goes out onto the front porch in The Switch Bag. The next morning, presto, a little gift is in the place of all the candy wrapped in wrappers that would have otherwise ended up all over the floor of my house. LOVE IT! And what’s even better… it’s one day! Unlike its cousin who comes in December and stays the whole damn month, this little super hero comes just once, not to return until the following October. Did I mention these Reno gals are BRILLIANT! So hurry, get your copy here:
So come post Halloween, you can actually vacuum your house without ruining our vacuum on those tiny pieces of wrapper.
