Nearly FREE Photo Book deals

These sites are almost always offering good deals on printing photo books.  The holidays is a great time to take advantage of these special offers.  What a great gift for Grandma to get a hard bound book of the grandkids! 

York Photo offers a free 5x7 softcover book, plus shipping.

Grovebook is an interesting site that allows you to upload 100 photos each month and pay only $2.99 for a photobook.  The first one is free. The book comes perforated so that you can easily pull the photos out for framing or scrapbooking.  It's a good way to get photos off of your computer and phone.

Shutterfly is offering an 8" x 8" hardcover photo book for only the price of shipping, until Dec. 4.  I have gotten in on this deal in the past.  The book is pretty nice, but you need to make sure and use high resolution photos.

Walgreen's has a free 8" x 10"  collage print available until Nov. 4.

Fwd: Christmas for Kids ***Calling all Shoppers***

I am forwarding this information from Christmas for Kids.  It is an organization that brings Christmas to a needy family.  I have volunteered to shop with a child for the past several years and it is an amazing experience.  This is adults only volunteering, but it is fun and worth the time.  Read the email, look at their website, and consider helping in any way you can.

Halloween Movies for the Family

Even though this is a holiday of the scary, it's not that difficult to find fun and laughter at Halloween.  Here are some movies that everyone in your family can enjoy.  There might still be some sort of scary scenes in a few of these.  It is Halloween afterall.

• Nightmare Before Christmas
• Corpse Bride
• Frankenweenie
• Hocus Pocus
• Halloween Town
• Scooby Doo on Zombie Island
• Any Scooby Doo cartoons
• Harry Potter
• Any of the movies from the 7 book franchise.
• A Series of Unfortunate Events
• Laurel and Hardy Meet Frankenstein, or the Mummy.
• Hotel Transylvania
• Monsters Inc.
• Monster House
• ParaNorman
• The Ghost and Mr. Chicken
• Gotta love Don Knotts
• The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
• Animated Disney version of course.
• Disney's Monster Mash
• It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown

A few for older kids.  Some of these have stronger language and scare factor.

• ET
• The Simpsons Tree House of Terror episodes.
• Monster Squad
• Gremlins or Gremlins 2
• Ghostbusters
• Ghosts on the Loose
• Vintage 50's Monster Movies
• These aren't so scary by today's standards.
• I Was a Teenage Werewolf
• Creature From the Black Lagoon
• LOTS of others.
• Twilight Zone episodes
• Young Frankenstein

If your children get scared this time of year, talk to them before watching any of these films.  A little reassuring from a trusted adult BEFORE they get scared is a lot more helpful then after!  If in doubt, watch the movie yourself first.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween Time 2013!

Happy Halloween!! I've updated the Halloween Activities page, which includes Pumpkin Patches, Corn Mazes, Haunted Attractions, and Holiday Specials.  I'm most excited about the new "Toy Story of Terror" which airs Wednesday, October 16 at 8pm on ABC.

It seems that all of the local deal sites have half price admission tickets for many of the area Haunted Attractions.  I will be adding more info about that later this weekend.  Look for discounts before you head out!  Many of their sites also have coupon links, so check those too. 

Happy Haunting!

Free Honey Sesame Chicken at Panda Express on Wednesday.

Follow this link and print out the coupon for free Honey Sesame Chicken.

http://yipit.com/business/panda-express/free-honey-sesame-chicken-breast/?aid=a9TtdaDP

 

I've already tried the chicken and even though they say it isn't, it's spicy. In fact mine was super spicy!  I was hoping it would taste more like their Honey Walnut Shrimp, which I LOVE!

 

When Panda offers free food there is usually a pretty good line.  It's not that bad, but don't wait in the drive thru, that would be a waste of gas.

 

Enjoy!
