Halloween Goody Bags

Happy Halloween! Once again it's the time of the year where kids binge on sugary treats and ladies find excuses to dress up as "sexy-anythings". Ah, those good ol' days ... 

As a fun bonding project, Elizabeth and I made Halloween goody bags for her preschool class. We made our own tags by printing out Hello Kitty pirate faces and colouring them in. During this bonding session, she revealed that she was going to marry a certain gentleman in her class. I reminded her that another lady had her eye on this gentleman already, but she assured me that she didn't mind if they all married. All three of them. Oh, my ...




Amidst the glittery princesses in the school, Elizabeth was an original as a Broken Scary Doll. It was fun doing her makeup and she does a pretty good impression of being "broken".




Have a safe Halloween!

How to Cut a Passion Fruit Without the Mess

Oh, yes. This is the question on everyone's mind. If you're like me, you toss and turn every night wondering what you can do to prevent juice from ending up on your cutting board when you cut open a delightful passion fruit.

There is a way. 




What you'll need:
1. A pair of (very clean) scissors 
2. A small spoon
3. Nimble fingers

Step 1: Using scissors, cut off a small round opening from the top of the passion fruit.




Step 2: Using a small spoon, scoop out the inside



Step 3: Enjoy! You can now pat yourself on the back because you have not wasted any juice. Whoopee!
