Halloween: Trick or Treating

Here's my question for parents: Does anyone go trick-or-treating anymore? I've been asking around our area and it seems trick-or-treating is less popular than ever. Participation in local neighborhoods seems to be spotty at best. But that's where we live. What are things like in your area? If your children aren't going trick-or-treating, will they be doing celebrating Halloween another way? I would love to know what you all are doing!

Sesame Street Sings "I Love My Hair!"

Like lots of African-American parents these days, we stress the importance of self-esteem and self-love in our home.

Once you've heard it, tell me what you think!
