How into Halloween are you? The Guilty-Mom poll

It's been too long since our last Guilty-Mom poll. In addition to being a really fun kid holiday, Halloween is prime guilty-mom time.

Have you sewn original costumes, brought homemade orange-and-black cupcakes to three different school parties, watched and captured on video all Halloween parades, made a spooky buffet of healthy Halloween food, and festooned the house with Martha Stewarty jack-o-lanterns?

Or are you staying zen, ordering pizza and taking the kids to a couple of houses nearby?

Whatever your Halloween stance, how do you feel about it?

You have until tomorrow at 10 a.m. to vote. Happy Halloween!

Good afternoon Kate!
With so many new mom's in the city, I was wondering if you could post a crime map article that shows up to date stats on each neighborhood. I think this would be a great way for people to evaluate where they want to raise their kids. So many people think they have to move out of the city for safety, when actually there are some areas that are quite safe right here!
The map link here also includes Howard, Baltimore County, Anne Arundel County, and Montgomery County.

I really feel that this is information that young moms, new moms, and moms new to the area could use.
Thank you,
Michelle
