Mommy-Daughter Date

I think it is important to spend one on one time with each of my girls. It is a chance to focus on them and not be distracted by siblings needs or wants. Recently, I was able to take Charlotte to another stage show (we saw Annie a year or so ago), thanks to some tickets we were given by a friend with connections. On this night, Charlotte and I went to see Max & Ruby Live with several friends and she had a great time.

And it might have been her first date. But shhh... don't tell her dad! Aren't they cute walking and holding hands?

Waiting for our tickets at Will Call resulted in some funny outtakes.  I have no idea why she is making that face!

Charlotte loves being grown up and handing things to adults. Like the tickets. And do you think Jesse is excited?

Since the tickets were free, I splurged on a small popcorn.
 "Is anyone coming? Do I have to share?"

"Ahhhh... it's all mine!"

"Hmmm.... smell that buttery goodness!"

Amy & Jesse, because we all need pictures of us with our moms, even when they are usually the ones behind the camera.

Me and Charlotte. But she didn't want her picture taken just then.

Charlotte was fascinated by the big projection. And she insisted I take a picture of it.

Oh yeah, the stage show. It was only okay. Let's just say I am glad we didn't pay for our tickets.

The end was the best part for the kids because they were all invited to get up and dance. And dance they did!

    LOVE IT! Though the performance wasn't that hot, I had a great time with my friends and their littles. :)

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

Yoplait Kids

This giveaway is now closed. The winner has been contacted. My baby girl LOVES yogurt. I try to give her some every morning to go with her fruit and cheerios. I started out buying the Stonyfield Farms yogurt because I wanted to avoid a ton of extra sugar. I have been slowly trying to phase high fructose corn syrup out of our diets and would like to keep it out of Charlotte's from the very beginning. Honestly, I just bought the Stonyfield because I assumed it was the healthiest choice. However, when I was offered a chance to try Yoplait Kids yogurt for free, my frugal self just couldn't pass up the opportunity. I found out that Yoplait Kids uses no artificial sweeteners or flavors, plus it has "25% less sugar than the leading kid's yogurt." (I wasn't able to verify that statement, but it came with the marketing materials for the prize pack.) This morning, Charlotte tried the Banana Yoplait Kids yogurt and really liked it. She even let me feed her almost the ent
