If you have considered sending out photo Christmas cards this year, but haven't done it because you think it's too late, too expensive, or too impossible to book a photo session now that Christmas is less than a month away, think again.
Thanks to VistaPrint you have an inexpensive alternative to the photocards you would purchase at even the most discount photography studios, and have tons of great templates and designs to choose from all that can be delivered to you so fast that they will be in the mailboxes of all your friends and family well before Christmas.
All you have to do is visit the VistaPrint website, find the "Christmas" section on the left-hand side and click on "Cards", then "Photocards". Then simply choose the collection you like the best. There are several to choose from, but the decision making is made easy because there are pictures of sample cards to see what your card might look like.
When you click on the "Get Started" link you will be taken to a new page with several templates to choose from, and VistaPrint will walk you through the process of personalizing your card and uploading your card.
You will be sure to get them out on time if because they do have a 3-day rush delivery option!
The process is quick, easy, and easy on the pocketbook. And presto, your Christmas cards are done!
Happy Holidays!

Lunch Wrapped Up
Watching your carbs and calories? Lunch can all too often be a meal where we get more of both of those than we actually intend; even when we are picking healthy options such as whole grain sandwiches, subs, and wraps.
It doesn't matter so much what healthy goodies these common lunch foods are stuffed with when it's sandwiched between 240 calories and 42 grams of carbohydrates (and 4g of insoluable fibre). That's what is in 2 slices of Dempster's Whole Grains Ancient Grains bread. If you check the label yourself you might argue the calories and carbs are half that, but check again: The nutrition information listed is for only one piece of bread.
Looking for breads with whole grains is certainly the healthier option over white bread, but if you are trying to lose weight they can often carry too many calories and carbohydrates to support weight loss without restricting carbs and calories elsewhere. That's tough enough to do without your mid-day meal taking up so much of your daily allotment.
If you think those skinny little wraps are any better, think twice. If you eat 2 multigrain wraps with flax (Compliments, available at Sobey's) you will have eaten 200 calories, and 33 grams of carbs, and 3 grams of fibre.
One of the best options that I have seen out there that has the whole grains but is easy on the calories and carbs is Dempter's BodyWise Whole Grain wraps. Their nutrition information is for 1 wrap, but if you eat two you will have consumed a reasonable 160 calories and 32 grams of carbohydrates.
After a week that could add up to a deficit of 560 calories and 63 grams of carbohydrates over what you would have eaten if you'd had the same lunches but with Dempsters Whole Grains Ancient Grain bread.
