    September 18, 2019 - By Emma May

    When you cut out food dyes it may go well for a while but then Halloween rolls in and Trick-or-Treating becomes an issue. After giving up artificial food dyes we had to deal with most of the treats the children would get Trick-or-Treating were not an option for the kids.
