Stuck in the Slide!

Yesterday I took my son to the local park. It has been sunny and beautiful just a bit breezy. For some reason he has been a bit apprehensive about slides. Months previous we could not keep him off of them. Its fun to see his little emotions develop and change. One of the big slides at the park I do not normally let him go down since it seems a bit big kid and he is just a toddler. He asked to go down this one and smiled. I asked him if he wanted to and he nodded his head.

This slide is one of those slides that is a tube so I was not worried about him falling off, but something else happened. As he was sliding down he put out his hands and legs. This stopped him right in his tracks! He was stuck half way down the slide inside of it. My heart started to panic!! I could not reach him from the top or bottom to push or pull him out. I asked him ever so sweetly to move his feet and come down to mommy. Hes response was "Im Stuck!" My heart was in my throat since I had no way of climbing in there to get him. I started to look around to see if I could ask another kid to go in there to pull him out.

Finally I tapped on the part of the slide where I could see he was in the tube and told him I see a doggie and he came sliding down. It was quite the slide adventure!

Did I find Tyson Breakfast Bread Bowls? Shopping Sam's Club

I have been a Sam's Club member for about 8 years. I love to get great deals and the sample days are super fun. Since having my son I have found my membership even more valuable to save money. My son has turned out to be a finicky eater, he is just like me when I was little. He likes food to be a certain way and he likes savory food.  We went shopping at Sam's Club this week in search of a new product. We were looking for Tyson Breakfast Bread Bowls.

The one thing I like to have for breakfast, even when its breakfast for dinner is a good juice to go with it. My son does not like plain Orange Juice since its too tart for him. But he does like SunnyD. I picked up a bottle while we were there. He loves and I mean loves bacon! When he saw it in the Breakfast section he ran over and tried to grab some out of the case.

I shop the Frozen Breakfast section all the time for my family. We are the kind of people who eat breakfast items at anytime of the day. Having a convenient way to serve breakfast always makes things easier. Sam's Club carries many great products for Breakfast. They have sweet and savor, pancakes, waffles, sandwiches and even Cinnabon! My son is a savory breakfast food eater. I try waffles, pancakes and more and he does not like them. He will eat fruit if I serve it along side some bacon so its a battle that I am learning to take the good with the not as good. I like French Toast sticks and often eat them for dessert too. I used to purchase the breakfast sandwiches until my son decided it was funner to take them apart and throw them.

 While looking at the great selection of Frozen Breakfast items at Sam's Club I spotted an item I thought was not yet in California stores. I was delighted to see the new Tyson Bacon Breakfast Bread Bowl. They are a bread bowl filled with Eggs, Bacon and Cheese. I love food in a bread bowl! This is a great idea, especially for my son. I try to get him to eat eggs but he can be picky about it. I think in a combo like this and it having cheese and bacon he will eat it. I look forward to trying these next week. We purchase Tyson products weekly. My husband loves the Boneless Skinless chicken for salads and entrees, my son loves the Fun Nuggets and Anytizers and I love all of it! #TysonBreakfast

After finding the Tyson Bacon Breakfast Bowls at my Sam's Club I thanked a manager for carrying them and my son and I continued to look around the store. I love to be a looky loo in there and see all the cool stuff. We checked out and then headed to the car to go get some Sam's Club gas. 

On the way out of our Sam's Club I saw a display set up to donate money for M.S. research and we donated. The door greeter at my store was super nice as she cheeked our receipt and drew a smiley face on it. Next week I will be trying the Tyson Bacon Breakfast Bread bowls with my family as we enjoy Breakfast for Dinner. I cant wait to share my thoughts on it with everyone.

Welcome Spring!

I know it isn't quite Spring yet, but nothing says Spring as arrived more than tulips. A stroll through Pike Place Market in Seattle is the perfect place to buy fresh flowers. I love tulips for their simplicity and variety of available colors. Roses are beautiful, but a vase full of tulips is lovely and frugal. Tulips let me indulge my love of fresh flowers without breaking my budget.

Do you buy fresh flowers for yourself? What kind? What color? The few dollars I spend on tulips can make me feel happy all week. Now that is a good investment!

Hawaiian Snacks Chips Review and Giveaway

We are not huge snackers at our house but it seams that chips are one of the go-to items if someone wants a crunchy snack around here. My husband also brings his lunch to work everyday and usually makes a sandwich and what goes best with a sandwich? Some tasty chips!!



But they cannot be just any chips, the crunchier the better we say :) That is what we like about the Hawaiian Brand Snacks, they have awesome flavors and the crunch factor is perfect! The hubby really likes the Sweet Maui Onion, me on the other hand, I am a Luau BBQ kind of gal. Oh man are they tasty...mmmm.






The boys really seem to like the Sweet Maui Onion Rings.They are an airy, light weight ring and won't choke like they might on a harder chip. This kids can really pack them away :)

If you and your family are looking for a crunchy snack that is packed full of flavor try Hawaiian Snacks Products, you won't be disappointed!

Home Depot Kids Day

Our little family

Our local Home Depot puts on a Kids Day the 1st Saturday of every month and it's FREE! We had heard about them and decided to take the children to see what it was all about. When we got there we were surprised at how nicely it was put together and fun it would be for the boys. We were not sure about Baby L (not the baby anymore so I am calling him Little L) would do, he is kind of young for tools and a structured task. I have to say he did really well, I just had to bust out a snack in the middle of it to keep him busy! But all in all it was good that we let him participate, he loved every second of it. All of the tools you need for the simple project were out. This month it was a little race car. They boys got to use wood glue and a hammer!! It was so cool to see them build their own little race car :)

My boys...hard at work :)

JJ concentrating so hard on hitting that hammer :)

Little L doing his thing!

It was a great family day and it was FREE!! I recommend you see if your local Home Depot offers this or something like it.
