I think I can give more people free gobble meals!  I got such great feedback after last time and used up all my offers, so hopefully the people who got them enjoyed some awesome meals.  I just received this week’s box. I have no affiliation with the company and buy these on my own, but got fliers in the most recent box that told me to spread the word about this being their 3rd year in business.  I thought it was newer than that, so props to gobble for your third birthday.  In other gobble… Read more >

“Is it a weekend day or a work day?”  My kids and I have a similar affinity for the weekend when we are all together. They ask that question so many times a week.

How many popsicles is too many popsicles?  I’m going to say the limit does not exist because nobody seems to have tired of them yet!  I’ve been making them with fruit and fruit and not much else so it’s basically just a different form of eating what they’d be eating anyway.

The country is obviously dealing with more insane weather elements right now, so I don’t feel great complaining about this but it feels hotter than the sun outside right now.  I had planned on going to the train museum in Sac for the afternoon because I promised P we would go at least once this summer…and as he reminded me on last Thursday’s welcome day at school WE STILL HAVEN’T GONE!  Whoops! So I figured Monday afternoon would be the perfect time.  We had no plans and it’s indoor (read: air conditioned). Awesome.  And then… Read more >
