What do you get when you leave 2 boys ages 5 and 6 unsupervised?


What do you get when you leave 2 boys ages 5 and 6 unsupervised?

Zombies

My son was playing at his friends house and when my husband picked him up he came home with a Zombie!  They decided to make themselves into zombies with marker pens.  I thought it was very creative as they had drawn huge stitches on their arms and legs too! But note to self, store markers away from kids : )

What's the worst your kiddies have done that had you in stitches?

Our Halloween Buy Back


Too much candy?  overall we hit 4 trick or treat events this October and needless to say we ended up with more candy than we gave away


Yesterday we headed to our local dentist and dropped off a HUGE bag of candy to the Halloween Candy Buy Back event! 

My children certainly had fun trick or treating but equally had fun sorting through their candy bags to donate as the incentive was the more candy they donate the more money they make PLUS the troops overseas will enjoy their own halloween candy!

We donated a whopping 9.2lbs of candy and my kids both received $5 each plus a goodie bag with free coupons for their stores!  This event yielded 300lbs of candy. This is a SWEET way to make everyone smile : )

How did your halloween buy back event go?

Tiny Prints: A Favorite Holiday Card Tradition


We love receiving Christmas cards, we have a lot of friends with children and its just wonderful to receive personalized photo Christmas cards of their family and see how much the children have grown over the year.  These cards I treasure the most.

I also send out my own personalized photo Christmas cards to all of our friends and family every year!  Now my children are older I don't have to pay a fortune for sitting fees and photos at the studios I make my own fun Christmas cards through Tiny Prints by downloading a photo onto their website.  I scout the stores early for fun matching holiday pjs and after the Christmas decorations have gone up I sit the children in front of my winter wonderland scene in my hallway and snap away.  The children know the routine by now and so I get the best smiles from them in exchange for a candy cane (yes bribery goes far).

The picture above was taken last year, don't you just love their smile? so angelic

I also download a tongue-in-cheek photo to the inside of my card.  Readers go "awww" when they see the front but when they open up to read they are faced with this picture below.   I'm sure they laugh out loud as this is a true depiction of my kiddies characters : )

Now the hard part is picking a Christmas design from Tiny Prints.  However, when in the Tiny Prints website you can find filters down the left side help make it easy to narrow down the selection.

I like this whimsical card!
The best part is I save these cards every year and I'll accumulate my own makeshift album through the years!

Reminder Daylight Savings - Fall Back this weekend


Yay we get an extra hour of sleep!
except if you live in the State of Arizona or outside the Mainland (i.e. Hawaii, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam), where the population didn't really do a spring forward

Boo we lose daylight

SO On the first Sunday in November (6th), clocks are set back one hour at 2:00 a.m. local daylight time, which becomes 1:00 a.m. local standard time.

Hopefully the kids cooperate and sleep in this Sunday

Review: Sante Nuts with a Zing and Crunch Like No Other


Are you nuts for nuts?

We love nuts in our household, at baseball games we bring sunflower seeds, at football games we bring peanuts in a shell and for parties I put out a bowl of assorted nuts.  When Santé sent me a sample pack of their specialty nuts I was overjoyed as I'm always up for trying new foods. 


 As I write I'm snacking on some garlic almonds.  I love almonds to begin with but the zip and zing with a hint of sweet makes these just to die for.  Plus a little heat makes your lips want to taste more and oh my the crunch factor is amazing because most nuts contain natural oils that makes them a little greasy tasting.

What makes these nuts so crunchy and tasty?
Santé uses a spice recipe with all natural quality ingredients, top that with only the highest quality nuts and small roast batches. Lastly they use a secret technique that minimizes the amount of oil the nut absorbs during the roastiong process.  Less oil means less fat, more crunch in each bite and more nuts for you : )

Santé offers four tantalizing flavors - Candied Walnuts, Candied Pecans, Roasted Salted Pecans, and Garlic Almonds (discussed above).  My favorite has to be the candied pecans, they are melt in your mouth and someone stop me as I can't stop eating them.






Check out this recipe for Pear, Arugula & Endive Salad with Candied Walnuts.  This pear pecan stuffing may just end up on my thanksgiving table this year!


COUPON CODE ALERT
Order your Sante Nuts here using your 25% OFF Exclusive Discount Code:  2011-Blog-029
The code expires December 13, 2011 so stock up now for the holidays - this makes a perfect treat for your guests.

Disclosure: I received Sante Nut samples for review purposes.  All opinions are of my own, others opinions may vary.

I love it!



Guest post written by my buddy Aldo Mays

There’s nothing not to love about online shopping if you ask me. You don’t have to go to the mall and fight all those crowds and if I Google long enough I can almost always find some sort of sale code to type in at the end of the transaction. I recently got get.wildblue.com/ at home so I’ve been spending a lot more time looking for clothes online, mostly for my daughter who’s a teenager. She’s a good kid and I know she appreciates when I’m able to get her something new so I don’t mind doing it in the least! I sometimes get myself something too, of course, but since I’m a couple sizes bigger than I’d like to be I don’t really have much interest in getting clothes at the moment. Maybe I’ll be inspired by looking to lose those last 20 pounds from the baby but who knows, I may just end up keeping them on forever. Either way, online shopping is the way to go for my family.

PMD Personal MicroDerm System Review


I'm Chinese so I'm blessed with young looking skin naturally and have always look younger than my age.  However, living the western life of beach time in the summer and cold winters has accelerated the aging process unnaturally.  With time I've noticed blemishes on my face and I do use a moisturizer with SPF and foundation with SPF for preventative maintenance.   I've never had a professional skin consultation but there are many out there.  One such procedure is a microdermabrasion.

Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is an effective, non-surgical way to get rid of acne scars, fine wrinkles and sunspots by exfoliating the top layers of the skin. No chemicals or laser beams are used, only aluminum oxide micro crystals that gently sandblast your skin, leaving it smooth and fresh. Microdermabrasion also stimulates collagen production, helping your skin rejuvenate faster than normal. Also called the lunchtime peel, microderm abrasion takes up to one hour and has no downtime. 

How much does it cost?
A professional microdermbrasion treatment costs, on average, $75 to $200, depending on where it is performed and the area treated. For best results, more than one microderm abrasion session is needed. There are also the so-called hidden costs (use special gel and cream that are needed before and after the treatment).  Well that really is out of my budget.


SkinCareRx offers an at home microdermabrasion system at a more affordable low price of $179.  The system includes 1 personal microderm, 5 exfoliating discs (2 green and 3 blue), 1 electric cord (Standard U.S. Outlet), 1 facial cap, 1 body cap, 1 reusable filter, Instructional CD and Pamphlet.  I was given the opportunity to try the product for myself.  I was hesitant as I do have sensitive skin, but was glad to see this kit comes complete with an 8 minute instructional CD and a booklet to help me become fully informed before using this products.  I also went online to the SkinCareRx site to read all the comments and was happy and reassured to see a review grade of 4 out of 5 for 94 reviews.

I decided to try this out on my hands first just to see how it felt.  I used the blue disc (for sensitive skin types) and it wasn't bad, I made sure to pull my skin tight and not hold over one spot and use continuous motion.  I then moved onto the blemishes on my face, after the first treatment my face was red (similar to sunburn) and I made sure not to apply any creams soon after.  The redness didn't last long and does get better with subsequent treatments as your skin gets used to it.  You can tell it works not only by smoother skin but from all the dead skin cell that you can see getting sucked up by the vaccum (gross but necessary).  For best results pairing the Personal Microdermabrasion Kit with additional product to promote healing and balance PH such as toner and a cell renewel serum is recommended. 

I like how this product is not only to be used on the face, you can use it on your elbow, hands, feet or wherever you have dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles so you can get more bang for your bucks.  If you plan on trying the Personal Microdermabrasion Kit just ensure you watch the video and read the literature carefully and consult a physician if in doubt.

Purchase your at home microdermabrasion system at SkinCareRx.   Go through ebates for a 7% cashback
