ANOTHER CONTEST

(Begin shameless plug:)
What? Free Food?

Yeah, FREE FOOD!?! Where? My place! This Saturday! Please don't feel like you have to buy anything! It's just an excuse to get-together and EAT and for the kids to PLAY! I am making 5 new recipes with their products for the show so there will be lots and lots of yummy stuff to taste! PLUS She will be demonstrating 4 other recipes that I get to keep (haha...that's why I booked a show to have her cook those meals for me!) You will learn how to make 4 meals in 4 minutes!

On Saturday, March 28, from 3-5pm, I am hosting a Home Made Gourmet Party. Kids are welcome here too, of course! http://www.homemadegourmet.com/HG-redesign-index.aspx If you want to order but can't make it there is the site, just let me know you placed an order for the show credit. And if you are watching out for certain ingredients here is a list of allergies, etc: https://www.homemadegourmet.com/VirtualOfficeImages/Documents/FoodAllergyandIntoleranceGuide.pdf

Please email me at my hotmail acct or leave a comment to RSVP! We live in a newish subdivision. Please call or email for directions. Your GPS will not get you here correctly, nor will any of the online mapping sites. The developer changed a few road names after starting building, so it's pretty confusing if you don't get them from me!

OH AND FOR THE CONTEST...I love contests. I love participating in them, so I'll start having some! And we only had 2 commenters last time, so they both got a prize! Josh and Mr. Alex, I hope you enjoy your books! :) So to enter, just leave a comment with your FAVORITE FOOD! Contest will end NEXT Sat. April 4 at 10 pm EST. And you win a mix from the food show! :) I'll share some of my free product with you basically! ;)


Thanks and Take Care!

Un-weaning

I read this cool article in MOTHERING. It's even cooler to see someone else blogging about "un-weaning!" Yay http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/strollerderby/archive/2009/03/26/unweaning-it-happens.aspx What a great way to re-connect!

Dinner and a Walk with Aaron

Ok, here are two videos for you of our Saturday evening with Aaron. We ate at Yats and then went on a walk downtown. I actually have make-up on as I went to a neighbor's Mary Kay party earlier on Saturday! :)

Mommy and Me Swimming Video

Claire and I enjoyed going to Mommy and Me swimming lessons. I am pretty pumped about my new from sling from this site http://wallababy.com/ It is mesh so I can use it around pools and beaches. PLUS it has an SPF factor, which I am pretty excited about.

Crashed-out Claire

Claire is normally a great car-sleeper. Sunday fussiness was a total fluke. See:
And we had to turn her carseat around a few months ago because she was just too cramped! Look how far her legs hang over the carseat end! She is actually wearing long pants. She just likes to pull them up and pat her knees. Then she'll say "Knee! Two Knee!" She is really into body parts! She also says "neck" and "elbow" in addition to some of the ones she already has been saying like head, hand, eye, no(s)e, etc. She can't say the "s" very well. Like "snack" is just "nack" which she calls anything she can eat!

Regret

I think as parents we often regret many choices we make. For example, this past Sunday, when I headed up to Ft. Wayne I thought I'd go ahead and go to church, then drive up during Claire's usual afternoon nap time so she'd sleep the whole way. Bad plan. She cried and fussed, and I had to stop 3 times. Argh. I ran across this interesting blog posting on regretting weaning that was linked from another blog.
