Target Announces Halloween Costumes For Kids and Adults With Disabilities

Our Keepsake Journal is Here! 🎉

Time is marching on, mamas. It’s gonna be August later this week…which means it’s practically fall . . . which means Halloween is like, TOMORROW. Since I’m ready for 2020 to be a distant memory, I have no problem with this! So, I may have squealed a little bit when I saw that Target is already getting ready for Halloween . . . and even better —that they have adaptive Halloween costumes for kids and adults with disabilities!

I am SO EXCITED about this news!

I have someone special in my life with a disability, and she and all people who use wheelchairs or have other disabilities should be able to buy a Halloween costume from anywhere just like the rest of us.

You might remember that Target had these adaptive costume options for kids last year, but this is the first year for adult options. Kudos to them for expanding to include adults with disabilities too! The line is called the adaptive and sensory friendly Hyde & EEK! Boutique Costume Collection, and you can pre-order costumes from Target’s site NOW!

Last year the collection only had two adaptive Halloween costume styles, and this year’s has quite a few more including mermaids, dragons, space cadets, witches, princesses, pirates, and robots. There are sweet accessories to make your wheelchair part of the costume, too! And of course, each costume has adaptive features to make it easier for people with disabilities to get on and off, allow for wheelchair-friendly fits, and bring comfort to sensory-sensitive trick-or-treaters.

In addition, these costumes start at just 20 bucks, which rocks! Adaptive should not have to mean “more expensive,” so I love the price points.

According to a company press release, these costumes are part of Target’s ongoing efforts to include customers with disabilities in all things Tar-JAY.

“Whether you’re simply getting dressed every day or dressing up for special moments like Halloween, everyone deserves to feel included and celebrated,” says Julie Guggemos, Target’s senior vice president and chief design officer. “And at Target, we know that great, inclusive design makes all the difference. That’s why we’re continuing to invest in Cat & Jack adaptive apparel, Pillowfort sensory-friendly home goods and more and creating twice as many practical, affordable, super cute costumes that invite all guests to make their own Halloween memories.”

I don’t know about you but this makes me love Target even more than I already do. If you’ve got someone in your life who could use one of these adaptive Halloween costumes, pre-order from Target’s site now, because I’m sure they’ll go fast!

Way to go, Target! And hurry up, FALL!

Be the Friend Who Meets You In Your Mess

In: Friendship, Living

Be the friend who doesn’t look at the baseboards, the friend who overlooks the dirt. Be the friend who comes to sit and chat at a messy counter still piled high with breakfast plates yet to be cleaned and junk mail yet to be sorted. Be the friend who explains to her husband every week that the extra $20 out of the budget went to a couple of sisters who needed a surprise coffee and a smile delivered to their door. Be the friend who sees your messy bun, unwashed face, and sweatpants and says, “Girl, you look cute,” and...

Do They Notice My Self-Doubt as a Working Mom?

At the office, I forget yet another small detail. Later, I am asked a simple question, something I should know the answer to, and I respond with “I don’t know” because it didn’t even occur to me to have that information on hand. I feel incapable of planning much ahead and insecure about my ability to read through the fine print. Another day of work is missed to be home with a sick baby, it’s been a difficult winter with illness striking our home, including a round of influenza for me. Meetings I was supposed to lead are covered by...

Hello from the Other Side of 40

Woman holding up 4 and 3 fingers on her hands

Facing 40 birthday candles? Let me tell you why your future is even brighter than those birthday cake flames, but first, I’ll also tell you—I get the big deal about turning 40. Facing that lofty milestone wasn’t fun for me. The dread started early when I was a young 37, and a sibling turned 40. I’m next! I realized, and I pouted and whined at the thought for the next three years. All of that bad behavior couldn’t keep me in my 30s though, and honestly, it left me a little embarrassed. Though this earthly tent is showing obvious signs...

Having Kids Shows Who Your Real Friends Are

In: Friendship, Motherhood

Any mom, typical or special needs, will tell you having kids is the fastest way to tell who your real friends are. When your child is born with special needs this process becomes even more severe and obvious. At first, people visit and want to hold the baby, but once the delays kick in slowly people start to pull away. Disability makes them uncomfortable. That’s the truth. They hope you won’t notice, but you do. Honestly, most stop trying altogether. It’s not just friends who act this way either, sometimes it’s family too. That hurts the most. As a parent...

Why Doesn’t Anyone Talk about How Hard Adult Friendships Are?

In: Friendship, Living

The scary thing about friendship is it’s completely disposable. You actively choose to remain friends. It can dissolve at any time. No one can force you into it. In marriage, you are bound to one another before God. As a parent, you have a familial obligation to your child. But friendship? That comes completely free and clear. You intentionally let them in, let them see your underbelly. Your messy house. Your imperfect marriage. Your rebellious children. Your weirdness, your quirks, your sin. And they can walk away at any moment. Oh, there are a few exceptions. Maybe you work together....

The Last Text I Sent Said “I Love You”

In: Friendship, Grief, Living

I’ve been saying “I love you” a lot recently. Not because I have been swept off my feet. Rather, out of a deep appreciation for the people in my life. My children, their significant others, and friends near and far. I have been blessed to keep many faithful friendships, despite the transitions we all experience throughout our lives. Those from childhood, reunited high school classmates, children of my parent’s friends (who became like family), and those I met at college, through work and shared activities. While physical distance has challenged many of these relationships, cell phones, and Facebook have made...

Being a Hands-on Dad Matters

In: Kids, Living

I am a hands-on dad. I take pride in spending time with my kids. Last week I took my toddler to the park. He’s two and has recently outgrown peek-a-boo, but nothing gets him laughing like him seeing me pop into the slide to scare him as he goes down. He grew to like this so much that he actually would not go down the slide unless he saw me in his range of vision going down. When it’s time to walk in the parking lot he knows to hold my hand, and he grabs my hand instinctively when he needs help...

Finding My Confidence in Learning to Enjoy Exercise

In: Living

This picture is of me, noticeably overweight, attending a silks class. This is something I’ve always wanted to do, but I looked noticeably out of place in my XL frame, compared with the other women in their size two Lululemon leggings. At one point, before we began, I actually quietly asked the instructor if there was a weight limit. She reassured me that people a lot heavier than me had hung from their ceiling on those silks. Before we started hanging from the ceiling, the instructor had us all sit in a circle and introduce ourselves and our goal for...

Dear Mom, Until We Meet Again

Daughter hugs elderly mother from behind outside

Mom, I pray to the stars that someday, somewhere we pick up where we left off. Before the Alzheimer’s diagnosis. Before your life, my life, and our family’s life changed forever. If we meet again, will you appear just as I remember you before this awful disease took over? With ebony black hair, vibrant blue eyes, and a gracious smile. Will you look at me and know I am your daughter? Will you refer to me by my beloved childhood nickname?

Somewhere Between Wife and Mom, There Is a Woman

In: Living, Motherhood

Sometimes, it’s hard to remember there is a woman behind the mom. At home, you feel caught between two worlds. Mom world and wife world. Sometimes it’s hard to balance both. We don’t exactly feel sexy in our leggings and messy mom bun. We don’t feel sexy at the end of the day when we are mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausted from being a mom all day. The truth is we want to feel like ourselves again. We just aren’t sure where we fit in anymore. RELATED: I Fear I’ve Lost Myself To Motherhood We know the kids only stay...
