Saturday Stories

Charlotte sure was grumpy this week! She wouldn't stay down for her naps, she woke up at night more than usual, and she got extra cranky between 4 -5 pm.

I have no idea what was going on. She isn't teething. The nursing is about the same. No new skills to report. Hopefully I will get my super-happy toddler back soon.

At the library story time this week she got a little braver and mixed it up some with the bigger toddlers. My girl loves music and she likes to dance. The song time that Ms. Connie leads is always fun and I am actually starting to learn the lyrics. Though I will spare you the agony of having to listen to me sing. (Let's just say it is unlikely Charlotte will grow up to be an opera star with me as her example!)

I have another big announcement to share as well. I signed up to be a Pampered Chef consultant - again! I did this once, about 8 years ago and really enjoyed it. As it turns out, my former Director is back in business and invited me to join her. I don't have a website yet, but if you have any interest in the Pampered Chef at all, let me know. It is an awesome company to work for and their products are fabulous!

Sorry this was late... my husband took me to the Weekend to Remember and I forgot to schedul this post! (More on the weekend later this week.)

    Hope she's over her grumpies soon! It's fun how as soon as you think you have them figured out, they change . . .

Giveaway: Bake Me A Wish

Image
This giveaway is closed. When I came home from running errands recently, I saw a big box sitting on my doorstep. As I got closer, the anticipation built and then I realized it was a Vanilla Bean Cake from Bake Me A Wish! Woo hoo! This was a review I knew my husband would enjoy participating in. The Vanilla Bean cake from Bake Me a Wish! came packed in a cooler and ice pack because it is perishable. It took self control, but I put it in the fridge straight away and waited patiently for my husband to come home so we could celebrate life. When we finally got to sample the cake, I put some candles on it so Charlotte could practice blowing them out. We are slowly getting ready for the big day of her birthday party and have never put candles on a cake for her before. As I was enjoying my slice of the Vanilla Bean Cake, Bruce and I brainstormed when this type of cake service might be useful. And here is the list we came up with: When you want a gourmet cake, but don't have acces...

Win Free Cereal

This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. I've definitely been on the giveaway wagon recently and am glad to be participating in the Fall Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. For this giveaway, I have FOUR (yes, you read that right - 4 winners!) full-price coupons for a new cereal from General Mills. Per their marketing, this cereal " combines great-tasting chocolatey puffs with vanilla puffs, a classic combination that kids love. Even better, Cocoa Puffs Combos is made with whole grain and is a good source of Calcium and Vitamin D." I love cereal. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and as a snack in between all of those. I am particularly fond of Lucky Charms. The crunchy combined with the sweet marshmallows gets me every time. All you have to do to enter is tell me what your favorite cereal is and leave some way for me to contact you, either through a blog or e-mail. This giveaway is open to US residents only (because I don't think t...

Note to Self

Image
This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. Warning: Since I typically have a family-friendly blog, I want to let my readers know that this post is not safe for little eyes. Have you ever sat down with a new friend and found you stayed up way too late talking about every subject under the sun? Discussing religion, careers, and yes, even sex, even though you've only known each other for a very short period of time? That is what it was like for me to read Note to Self - On Keeping a Journal and Other Dangerous Pursuits , by Samara O'Shea. Once I started it, I felt like Samara and I were just hanging out on my couch, sipping decaf lattes and having a conversation. (Okay, Samara might be sipping something harder, but I'm still nursing.) It was that easy to read. The basic premise of her newest book is teaching people how to write in a journal, by sharing her own journal entries. Personally, she wrote for therapy, sharing "A journal is an effecti...
