IRL conversation between the Mr. and Me
Mr: OOO you made meatballs??!!!
Me: NO meatloaf!
Mr: No meatballs!
Me: NO honey it is my meatloaf baked in these muffin tins!!!
Mr: Oh, I like the portion control idea!!

Too bad I ate TWO of the meatloaf muffins and the Mr. only ate one :/

GoGurt

{picture via Yoplait}

Tiny is NOT a boy for milk products BUT now he LOVES his GoGurt. He loves to crawl in my lap and with my help eat his GoGurt. WARNING- it could be MESSY! You can find them at your local grocery store and they come in yummy flavors. If your children are older you can freeze them and put them in their lunch box and by lunch time they are ready to eat. I like to eat them frozen, kinda like ice cream but healthy! Go Go Go get you some Gogurt!

The Coffee Bar

How to Spruce Up....

The Grocery Store Flowers!
My sweet friend was put on bed rest and I wanted to take her flowers BUT it was Sunday and there were NO Flower Shops open on Sunday so off to my favorite store Wally-Mart. But there was NO way I was taking them to her in the clear plastic wrap. So this is what I did and this is what you will need!

-1 Dozen Roses ($10.00)
-2 Paper Towels
-Tape
-Tissue Paper
-Cute Wrapping Paper
-Tulle
ALL THESE WERE FOUND IN MY WRAPPING CLOSET SO THEY WERE FREE!
1. Arrange the flowers the way you like them and wrap the ends with your paper towels.

2. Wrap them with tissue and close with tape.

3. Wrap the wrapping paper lower then the tissue. Leave the bottom free.
Back
4. Add your tulle in a cute bow.

There you have some pretty flowers! I also gave her a book I had read and tied a cute tulle bow around it!

Mom to Mom


While in Dallas I ran into the Tom Thumb for some wipes and they did not have my Huggies so I settled for these Mom to Mom wipes I had no idea about them. I was SO unsure about them because the were cheap and I don't know I just like my cucumber Huggies. I get them home open them up and I fall in love! So just HAD to blog about them and while researching them I came to find out they are the Tom Thumb brand!!!! You must go try out these wipes they are amazing! I do not have a Tom Thumb in my town so I am going to stock up on them before we head home!!!!!
