It's been over a week since Halloween, and your kids are asking "just one more piece?" This is a great idea to end the candy wars. Place coupons in a jar with things like "One more glass of hot chocolate or Watch 15 minutes extra TV or Stay up 10 minutes longer". Instead of candy your kids pick a coupon out the jar. Give it a try. Let me know your thoughts.
Before tossing out your pumpkin decorations, consider making roasted pumpkin seeds!
The candy bags are full, the kids want more, but you want the candy gone .... how about donating the unwanted candy?
Don't forget these few Safety Trick or Treating Tips:
- Add reflective tape to costumes and trick or treat bags.
- Give your child a flashlight.
- Walk together on side walks.
- Leave bikes, skateboards and skates at home.
- Be sure that costumes aren't too long, shoes fit well and masks don't make
it hard to see. - Most IMPORTANTLY HAVE FUN!!!!
Your house will soon be haunted by leftover Halloween items. Especially, the
bags of candy your kids collected. Here's an idea: stock up on baking
supplies. Yes, chop leftover chocolate or candy corn and use in place of
chocolate chips for cookie recipes.
5 days and counting until Halloween - These Rice Krispy treats looked to good to pass up.
Thanks to a friend I go turned onto picnik which is an easy "no brainer"
on-line photo editing site. I am not kidding, it is so simple, quick and
easy anyone can edit their photos. All you have to do is upload a photo. I
got sucked into the process of changing, editing and playing. I love the
"create" section where you can put all different effects onto you image.
There are special effects for Halloween and in honor of Breast Cancer
Awareness month there are pink effects. You can also share your creations
directly from the site by printing, emailing or sending to Facebook, Twitter
and other on-line communities.
Halloween is almost here and not soon enough. I couldn't resist posting.
