They were sampling the Buffalo chicken last time when I picked up my free apple pie and it was super yummy. There are a lot great other deals this week too so if you planning to make a big order anyways you have a nice incentive to do it this week.

With Halloween just days away why not talk about things that haunt our dreams. Infomercials.  From Pajama Jeans to the Slap Chop, inventors keep rolling out ideas on how to make our lives easier.

Here’s some I can think of:

Shamwow, Slapchop, Pajama Jeans, Snuggie, Eggies, Peg Egg, Pedi Paw, Clapper, Cami Secret, Smart Spin, Pasta Express, Magic Bullet, Buxton Purse, In Styler, Hot Dog Express, Pillow Pets, Mighty Putty, Green Bags, Bump Its and Aqua Globes.

Overall, I get duped into buying these once in a while and I am generally dissapointed.  Even more disappointing is usually in 6 months or so they start trickling into the dollar stores.  The only As Seen On Tv products that I’ve ever found to be of acutal use is a knock off Chi hair straightener and Aqua Globes.  Are there any As Seen On Tv products that you love? Ever gotten duped into buying one that disappointed? 

 I think the Pajama Jeans are pretty sweet looking… picks up phone…..

PS. Isn’t that baby vest picture just hilarious?  I haven’t laughed that hard at a pic in awhile.

In a recent blog post I featured some Crayon Art that caught a few people’s attention … My boyfriend and I were inspired by this creative idea and decided to try making our own version.

Since this was such a budget friendly piece of art, I’ve decided to share and see if we can inspire some more creativity!

Cost breakdown:

• Canvas: $11
• Crayons $5
• Crazy Glue $3
• Hairdryer (free already owned)
• TOTAL: Less than $20!

Step 1: Peel (optional) crayons and glue to canvas in desired order:

Step 2: Tilt canvas on an angle and begin to blow dry crayons:

(make sure to cover whichever surface you are working on as crayons may splatter)

Step 3: Melt away to your heart’s content until YOU are fully satisfied with the results.

Be creative, there’s no right or wrong! My BF and I decided to glue the crayons on 1/4 of the way down the canvas & melt in both directions, as well as hang the painting on it’s side as shown above 🙂

This is the weekend we, like many Canadians, are going to carve our pumpkin.  It’s always a fun adventure with the kids as they really enjoy scooping out the insides and picking out the seeds.  We do roast some seeds every year but I’m the only who usually eats them.
The last couple years we have been trying to branch out on our jack-o-lantern design.

I grew up with your traditional looking jack-o-lantern so we find it quite fun to try to think of different ways to make our pumpkin look.  We are by no means “artists”  but we make a modest effort and I must admit last year it turned out quite well.  My oldest wanted hers to look like a cat and I tried my best  to oblige.   In the end it turned out too look like a pretty good cat complete with ears and cat like eyes.

Our youngest opted for almost a more traditional jack-o-lantern but with a “angry monster mouth” which again I did my best to provide.
Carving our pumpkins is always an afternoon of family fun.  We get quality time together and memories to last for forever.

Here are my steps for picking a good pumpkin:

1. Pick an appropriate shaped pumpkin.  The shape of your pumpkin should match the shape of the design you have in mind
2. our pumpkin should sit flat without rolling away or to its side.
3. Make sure the pumpkin’s skin is free from scratches, cuts and abrasions.
4. Check your pumpkin for soft spots and make sure the stem does not pull free.  These are signs that the pumpkin has started to rot.

Here are some links to sites that have templates for jack-o-laterns:

• The Pumpkin Lady – This site sells templates but they also offer a freebies section.  Visit the free templates here.
• DLTK – My wife use this site a lot for her daycare and for her Sparks unit.  It has lots of neat craft and activity ideas.  Check out DLTK’s pumpkin carving patterns here on their Halloween page.
• Carve an online Jack-o-lantern by clicking here – This site is just a fun little thing to do either for yourself or the kids.

This is a great coupon from Metro Ontario’s Facebook page. It’s for 50% off the regular retail price of Olymel Chicken Breast Chunkies 600g and Chicken Wings 650g, to a maximum discount of $4.50. I’ve actually tried this product using my $2.50 coupon from gocoupons.ca and it was really good. The chicken is an actual piece of chicken breast, as opposed to ground, minced, or processed chicken that so many other brands have. It would be awesome if they’d accept the 50% off coupon along with the $2.50 coupon. I’m gonna try my luck on the weekend!
