If you want to get serious about cooking, this set is a must-read. I am seriously considering getting one for myself, as this book teaches you about French cooking as well as helps you learn a lot about yourself as a regular cook.

With two volumes and over 750 pages, this set has a ton of information, including more than 100 instructive illustrations. Learn how to perfect Boeuf Bourguignon, Lobster Thermidor, or Vichyssoise. Not all the recipes are complicated, and Julia lends her hand to even the simplest of recipes like poached eggs or roast chicken.

Be aware that you will go through a lot of butter, but you know you’ll love what you make.

Reviews of this revolutionary set of books are amazing and people are generally pleased or astounded with the quality of the recipes, even many years after its initial release.

A scarf can be the perfect accessory to any outfit – they aren’t just for winter! Chapters Canada is offering 25% off summer weight scarves currently.

• Click here to shop scarves @ Chapters Canada

I tend to have expensive tastes, so I rather like this Marble Print Scarf—Blue that was $45 and is now marked down to $33.75. I just adore the colour combination and the marbling graphic is lovely. If blues are not your colour you can check out the Marble Print Scarf—Pink for the same print with a different palette.

If you are on a bit more of a budget you should check out the Floral Skull Scarf—Purple which was $24.50 and is now $18.38 or the Featherweight Scarf—Pink which was $25 and is now $18.75.  There are also scarves in the low $20 range (around $22) that should fit most budgets.

Chapters Canada has 20% off all Skip Hop toys and other kid products this week.

• Click here to shop @ Chapters.indigo.ca

I’ve heard so much buzz about Skip Hop, especially the backpacks and lunch bags. And the reason is because they are too cute! Great for preschoolers and kindergarten kids, they are the perfect size as well. The reviews of Skip Hop products on the Chapters site back up what I am saying

Check out this Zoo Pack Owl, which is durable, insulated and incredibly cute. Get it for $19.96, regularly $24.95.

The neck rests are pure function, great for naps in the car on long trips so their little necks don’t get sore in some awkward position. I love the Zoo Neck Rest Dog! Regularly $14.95, now only $11.96.

While my kids have their own bathtub so their toys can stay strewn all over the tub, most people don’t really want to step on a plastic shark every time they get in the shower. This Tubby Bath Toy Organizer is perfect for making kids want to pick up their toys, where they will stay, not growing mildew and mould. Now only $19.96, regularly $24.95.

Shipping is free on orders over $25 at Chapters.

Chapters Canada is offering 30% off gardening accessories.

• Click here to shop Gardening @ Chapters Canada

Having a cat and no balcony in an apartment building makes owning any greenery difficult. Our cat eats anything that looks green and plant-like. I think the answer might be a plant incased in glass… maybe one of these:

• Oval Tabletop Terrarium – Was $29.50 | now $20.65
• Glass Cloche Tabletop - Was $29.50 | now $20.65
• Pear Hanging Terrarium – Was $39.50 | now $27.65
• Teardrop Hanging Terrarium – Was $39.50 | now $27.65

I think the hanging ones would be best because then the cat couldn’t actually reach them even if he tried. Glass can be a good barrier but a nineteen pound cat can pretty much do what he pleases with a glass bulb.

The terrariums do not come with the plants, those you would have to buy separately.

Free shipping on orders of $25 or more.

April in Paris sounds divine, but since many of us probably won’t be spending this rainy spring in the city for lovers, Chapters has a great sale on with everything about Paris for 34% off.

• Click here to shop @ Chapters Canada

I actually was very fortunate to spend a spring weekend in Paris almost ten years ago. It was one of the best experiences of my life; being able to experience a city with such history and uniqueness was humbling. My favourite part was, of course, the food, where I had the best meal of my life and nothing has yet to compare. I’d be very interested in what Chapters has to offer right now.

The Little Paris Kitchen has 120 simple and classic French recipes and although I don’t think I could duplicate the meal I had, I could definitely have fun trying with this book. Regularly $39, now $24.45 for members.

For over 150 years, Les Miserables has captivated audiences, including with the new movie out right now. Read the book before you see the movie, because you know, the book is always much better. Regularly $35, now only $21.94 for members.

I’ve heard a lot about Bringing Up Bebe: One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting. I’m definitely the type of person to go against the norm when it comes to “typical” ways to raise your children in our North American society. I treat my children like miniature adults, telling them everything they ask me without sugar coating and I am an attachment parent in a way that some people may have trouble with (not that I care). So this book would be a very interesting read, because the Europeans raise their children in such different ways. Get it for $17.24, regularly $24.50.

Shipping is free on orders over $25.

Chapters Canada is offering $25 off the Kobo Arc for a limited time only.

• Click here to shop @ Chapters Canada

The highest percentage discount will be on the smallest sized Kobo Arc, as the discount is a flat rate. Here are the Kobo Arcs on sale:

• 16GB Kobo Arc – Black Was $199.99 | Now $174.99
• 16GB Kobo Arc – White Was $199.99 | Now $174.99
• 32GB Kobo Arc – Black Was $249.99 | Now $224.99
• 32GB Kobo Arc – White Was $249.99 | Now $224.99
• 62GB Kobo Arc – Black Was $299.99 | Now $274.99
• 62GB Kobo Arc – White Was $299.99 | Now $274.99

Most people say it is a good option for the price point. The only real complaint on the device seems to be that if anything goes wrong, Kobo evidently doesn’t have the best customer service so it can be a pain to deal with. I haven’t had a Kobo since the very first Kobo reader – but I do remember that I loved how light the devices were compared to my current tablet.

Enjoy free shipping on all purchases of $25 or more.

Chapters Canada is selling Zooka Wireless Speakers for 30% off, regularly $99, now $69, in-store and online.

• Click here to shop @ Chapters Canada

In a number of fun colours, Zooka wireless speakers work great with a tablet or even a smartphone, providing you 5x the sound of your in-board speakers. They move with you wherever you and your tablet go with high-quality sound. Without wires to confound and trouble you, these speakers are an awesome addition to any tablet.

The reviews are amazing for this product, based mainly on its portability and convenience. One reviewer said she uses it for a car phone, which I think is a great idea. When I have my smartphone on speaker and sitting in my lap so I am hands-free, I can’t hear a thing the other person says, even at max volume. It is also great for watching movies on your tablet or smartphone.

Shipping is free on orders over $25, so this product qualifies.

Sometimes you can find random toys for a good price if you really search at Chapters Canada. I found this Alex Monster Art Centre for only $47.98, which is 50% off and cheaper than I found it at any other Canadian retailer.

• Click here to start creating @ Chapters Canada

I was thinking the other day about how all three of my kids have very different interests. I have one who loves books and science, one who is athletic and loves being a daredevil and one who loves music, drama and art. I also realized this is going to be very expensive for me since they don’t like the same things. So, when I find a deal this good on something my child is very interested in, I snap it up.

The Alex Monster Art Centre has a five-star rating at Chapters, based on customer experience.  It has also won numerous awards, including Best Toy of The Year.

It includes:

• 12 watercolour paints with palette,
• 28 coloured pencils,
• 24 oil pastels,
• 26 crayons,
• 30 fine-tip markers,
• a water bottle,
• two brushes,
• a sponge,
• two drawing pencils,
• pencil sharpener,
• eraser,
• clear and white glue

It comes in a carrying case that folds out into an easel. With a sturdy metal handle, clasps and trays that open for access to the supplies, this is a durable and fully-stocked kit.

Shipping is normally free at Chapters on orders over $25, but I’m going to assume this is too heavy for free shipping. To Ontario, the cost was $7, but there is free ship to store.
