DIY with mama saigh: Last-minute halloween costumes.

This week, I was back on The Jason Show with some last-minute Halloween costumes for all ages, that you can make yourself using things you probably already have at home. Let's start with our little LEGO... DIY LEGO COSTUME Adorable Emma, modeling our LEGO costume on The Jason Show. All you need for this costume is an empty cardboard box, 6 empty plastic fruit cups, super glue, and paint. Since your subject is going to wear the box, start by cutting a hole for the arms, head, and a large enough opening for the lower body to fit through the bottom of the box.

This week, I was back on The Jason Show with a couple crockpot recipes, that you can make for your next CrockToberFest get-together! The first recipe was given to me by another mom, who makes this dish for her husband's work pot-lucks all the time. This Buffalo Chicken Chili is a two-time cook-off winner at her husband's office!
