Friday Adventures

By
I overslept this morning. And when I woke up, Lil Man's diaper had leaked. And I don't mean just a little dribble. I mean a full on, soaked his clothes from knees to chest, all of his blankets, his sheet,and his protective mattress cover. So I began my day with already running late, plus having to strip him off and change everything on the bed.

That being done, I'm was at this point 15 minutes later than what I should be. (Hubby was giving me time to run before he went to work. Thankfully, it still worked out that that I could get my run in).

I got home just in time as Hubby was getting ready to walk out the door. But I just wasn't in the mood to stay home all day. We had to cancel a playdate earlier in the week because Lil Man was sick. And it seems like lately when I have plans I have to cancel or reschedule or something. And I'm feeling just a wee bit lonely. I knew that if I sat in this house all day that I would be stir crazy. So I told Lil Man that we were going shopping and out to lunch. He seemed pleased with that idea.

So Lil Man and I went to Target. :) Then we headed over to Five Guys. Lil Man thought it was 'too loud'. And I will admit the music was a tad bit on the loud side. And he wasn't a fan of the peanuts. But when he saw the fries, and the abundance of them, his eyes lit up. And he dug in. He alone ate a little over half of a large container. And if you've ever been there, you know how many fries I'm talking about. In addition to the fries, he ate half his cheeseburger. He followed all of that with an M&M candy bar in the car for dessert on the way home.


Is he my kid or what? :) He's currently sleeping it off, while I take a few minutes to recharge for the rest of the afternoon.

Hubby and I are so truly blessed. I have to keep reminding myself to slow down, cherish the moments, in the blink of an eye they will be gone. I'm glad that I took today and took some time to just be in the present moment.

    I believe we should really enjoy our kids now because it won't be long they'll be teens and then grown ups. Time flies so fast.

Window Bird Feeder By Yellow Beaks

By
Lil Man has been beside himself since the Clear Window Bird Feeder by Yellow Beaks arrived in the mail. He couldn't wait to get it up and outside. He's very anxious for the birds to come. I wasn't sure how the suction cups would hold up. I've never, in the past, had much luck with any type of suction cup. But so far it's been a week with varying temperature changes, and the suction cups are holding strong. The construction seems sturdy, and it looks to be well-made. It also will be easy to clean out. I know with bird feeders they can get a little yucky sometimes, but this will be easy to remove, spray out and clean up.  So far the birds haven't visited us yet. Our neighbor has several bird feeders and he is keeping all of the birds over there (ha). But Lil Man is checking daily, sometimes multiple times a day, for a bird. So I can't report how the birds like the feeder, but I have to say that we honestly do.  You can find the Wind...

MagicMil Chalkboard Label And Pen Pack Review And Giveaway

By
I have been compensated in the form of a gift card/money/coupon and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. All opinions expressed are mine and honest in nature. I'm not known for my craftiness. The fact that I made bird feeders out of milk jugs was a huge accomplishment for me when it comes to crafts. But when I saw these Chalkboard labels , I couldn't get over just how cute they were. And I thought, surely even I could could create something cute with these. First of all, there are several sizes and shapes to choose from. So the possibilities seem endless for what all you could do with these great Chalkboard labels . They are easiest to remove if you slightly bend where the label starts. And they are also re-positionable. ( I may or may not be speaking from experience ;) But they can be re-positioned up to 20 minutes. And they come with a liquid chalk pen. The liquid chalk pen is a little more watery than other markers. You can reapply to...

Ecosak Nylon Nut Bag Review

By
I have been compensated in the form of a gift card/money/coupon and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. All opinions expressed are mine and honest in nature. Well, can you believe that I am trying out a nut bag to make my own almond milk? (I'll pause a moment so that you can let the shock wear off!) I can honestly say that never in my life did I intend on making my own almond milk. But as you know, we are making some changes to our diet. So I decided I would give it a try.  And with the Ecosak I also received some recipes which really helped since I wasn't really sure what I was supposed to do. I asked Lil Man if he wanted to help me, and he was more than thrilled. Apparently making almond milk was an exciting and fun thing for him. First things first was to wash the Ecosak (easy to do) and soak the nuts. Yep, I put some raw almonds in a bowl, covered them with water and let them soak 6-8 hours or so. After they had been soaked, I...
