Florida Strawberry Festival

The final post from our F week is to document our trip to the Florida Strawberry Festival. It is a little bit of a stretch on the F theme, but heck, it's my blog and I can say it fits if I want too. :)

We did get to take the grandparents with us. But I am really just showing this picture to point out her gingham blue dress and the pink cowboy boots! (Thanks Kelly M! She L-O-V-E-S them!)

The Berry Merry Go-round was the only ride we went on due to the crazy ticket prices. But Charlotte did get to go twice. She cried when she had to get off, both times.

We did eat a lot of straweberries, but were so enjoying them all of us forgot to get out our cameras. Instead, I leave you with the most decent photo of Charlotte getting excited about the cows.

Oh, and a funny cow story... as we drove home from church last Sunday, Charlotte started mooing in the back seat. I couldn't figure out why she was making cow noises so I asked her where the cows were. She pointed out the right window to a field with cows, way off in the distance, quietly chewing their grass. She has good eyes!

    That is funny!

    And I'm so jealous of your trip, we were sitting down this morning reliving our Florida trip from last year by looking at the pictures. Warm!

    Mom and I had a great time last weekend. Sharing the festival with Charlotte was a treat, especially for the old guy on the merrygoround!
    Love ya, Grumpy

    It looks lovely and warm there! What fun - Esme has been scared of cows when she sees them up close and personal, but she loves mooing, too...

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

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...
