Backpacks, Haircuts & Wraps

If you are looking for a new baby bag, I highly suggest a diaper bag backpack. It has lots of compartments, and is one less thing that I have to carry...kinda, it is strapped to my back. It frees up my hands though so I can deal with other things, like trying to catch 2 two year olds running down the middle of the mall while I try to feed the babies and push the stroller at the same time...you know, normal everyday tasks. My favorite thing is that it doesn't need to be under the stroller, which obviously gives me so much more room to store things. Here are a few of my favorites (one I actually carry):

Babies R Us

Ju-Ju-Be

Fleurville

I was out shopping yesterday with my mom and all the girls. I decided in the middle of Elder Beerman to take Ella into the salon there and get all her hair cut off in to a cute little bob style. The stylist did an awesome job, and Ella looks darling...not that I'm partial. (I will have to post a pic.)

When we got up to the counter to pay, I was expecting to hear something like "that will be $22", or somewhere in that range. You know how much it was?? 4 Bucks! What? Apparently, the Arden Salons in Elder Beermans charge by the age of the child up to 5. Fantastic, huh!? Reese & Charlotte's are only $2 a piece! I love it. Just had to share this great deal.

Tonight Eric and I are going to rent a movie and I'm going to cook up some yummy food. One of the menu items is Asians Lettuce Wraps. I found the recipe from this site. While searching for different ways to make them, I came across the recipe for the P.F. Changs lettuce wraps! I might try that one too. Anyone ever tried it before? Here is the link to that one. I'm also going to throw some guacamole and hummus in there on the side. I love hummus, I would eat it on just about anything. Hopefully everything turns out good...1st time recipes are always a fun time.

Anyone have some new or classic recipes that are a family favorite? Kid friendly meals? I would love to get some new recipes in our house!

The Most Random Post You Will Read All Day

Instead of staring the elliptical in the face today like I was last week, I was staring into the speaker at the Wendy's drive-thru and into the Tupperware bin that held the many Valentines Day cupcakes we made for Ella's preschool class. Why do I buy the bags of Valentines Day hearts? You either love them or you hate them...and I just so happen to fall into the madly, deeply, truly, forever committed, in love with them group. Why don't I just eat sugar right out of the bag? To top it off, when I took Ella to Target to get her little cards for her classmates, I saw the heart shaped Peeps.....you guys.....I thought I was going to fall to my knees. Easter Peeps, Valentines Peeps, Christmas Peeps.....fantastic no matter what holiday. Note to self.....stay away from the holiday candy aisle, and never volunteer to bring the class snack again sign up to bring the napkins for the next party.

While feeding my sweet, new, smiley, compliant babies today, I noticed the older girls were real quiet. I went into the Bathroom and found our small, humble bathroom had been completely "toilet papered." I thought Eric had made the Varsity Team, and the Cheerleaders had been by to celebrate.

Early this morning in the drive-thru. Prepare to be confused.

Tim Hortons: Can I help you?

Me: Umm, yea, I want one of those new low calorie breakfast things you have out...the one with eggs in it.

Tim Hortons: Complete silence

Me: Uhhh...I saw it on TV, like a pita or something?

Tim Hortons: We don't know how many calories are in any of our breakfast items.

Me: Ok, that's crazy, it's on the commercial. And every fast food place has a nutritional packet...so even if you don't have the low cal pita, you would still have a packet to tell the nutritional value of your other menu items.

Tim Hortons: We have a sausage, egg & cheese biscuit.

Me: Hahaha, what? Ok, but nothing that is low cal?

Tim Hortons: Umm, ma'am...we have low-fat yogurt.

Me: Ok, but no pita right? I'm real focused on this pita thing you all are promoting. I know I saw it on a commercial.

Tim Hortons: We have yogurt.

Me: Can I just get an egg w/ cheese, but no biscuit?

Tim Hortons: Dannon yogurt.

Me: Great, I'll have a yogurt.
