I used to not have an opinion about balloons, but since I've learned so much about how awful they really are, I hate them! I know the kids in my life love water balloon fights int he summer. I'm loving seeing the knitted, reusable options that I've seen shared on social media.
I cringe every time I see balloons flying at someone’s house for a party. And you see those ballon releases for people who have passed. So many other ways to celebrate life!!! We need to change this culture!
