Tip of the Week

Ladies, Halloween is just around the corner and this means pumpkin carving. This is a great activity for your family to do together. So I thought I would use this theme as my topic. Here are a few tips. More bang for your buck so to say!


Instead of buying your pumpkins in a grocery store, check your phone book and newspaper for local pumpkin farms. Make a week-end trip with your kids and let them pick out their own pumpkins! Also, pumpkins are usually less expensive at farms and stands. After carving your pumpkins, try lighting them with battery powered LED lights. They are much safer with children around, and they flicker just like a real candle!! Then when your pumpkin has served it purpose instead of throwing it away, why not start a tradition of burying your pumpkin and giving it a proper fare well for sacrificing itself. It is also good compost for you!
