Thank you to Donna, who shares one beautiful thing on her blog every day, for this uplifting pre-Halloween article.

Happy Halloween! By now, you have probably noticed how obsessed with dressing up I am, so it will come as no surprise that I’m posting about Halloween costumes today. However, I decided that this year, I wanted to show you something a little special.

These are costumes for children with mobility issues, and they’re way more awesome than those made for their typically-abled counterparts. Not crafty? No problem. You can actually buy some of these on Etsy!

Hope everyone has a magnificent Halloween. Don’t forget to post pictures!
