The night is quickly approaching when the streets will be filled with ghosts and goblins, not to mention princesses and fairies. As always, there are a few important Halloween safety guidelines that should be observed to ensure the night runs smoothly around the house…

Many people enjoy transforming their homes into eerie scenes. Be sure to keep the path leading up to your door free of obstacles for the little ones, especially those with masks who might have trouble seeing in dim light.  Keep pets indoors on Halloween to protect them from hazards and preventing them from being aggressive to visitors.  Before you light those candles in your pumpkin, consider using inexpensive safety glow sticks . Nothing says spooky like a glowing green jack-o-lantern!
