Halloween can be at tricky holiday to plan for as a single parent. Safety and fun are the two main ingredients for a succesful night full of candy and fun. Check out the following tips to help make yours and your childrens' 2016 Halloween the best one yet!

1.) Light up stuff you will both love-

Light up buckets and glasses are more than just fun accessories. They also allow you to spot your child from a distance and makes it easier distinguish them from others. Buy your child a few of these neat accessories to carry or wear on Halloween night.

Some of my favorite places to shop for light up accessories are:

Hobby Lobby, Target, Dollar Tree, and Walmart

2.) Throw your own Halloween Party-

You already know that you are the mom of the year, but go ahead and show off your trophy this Halloween! If your mailbox is lacking festive Halloween invitations, throw your own party and invite all your children's friends and parents. This will allow you and other parents to bond over chocolate with peace of mind as your children roam the house or yard in a safe environment, surrounded by people they know.

3.) Organize a Group to go Trick-or-Treating with-

Take advantage of the one holiday that forces you out of the house. Call up your other single parent friends and go door to door as a group, or use this as an excuse to ask the single dad down the road if he would like to join. (My father and Step-mother meet as singles on Halloween night and have been together ever sense.)

You could also ask some of your close friends who love hanging around the kids, or other memembers of your family!

4.) Find Safe Trick-or-Treating Events that are being hosted in your area!

From trunk-or-treats to pumpkin patches, many towns are full of safe places to take your children on Halloween night! Check and see if any hospitals, churches, or buisnesses near you are hosting any safe and fun Halloween events!
