Yesterday we had warmer weather, and a sure sign of Spring… Severe Thunderstorm Warnings. I’ll take a thunderstorm over a snow storm any day. The wild weather means Spring will be here soon. The rain also perked up the yard a bit, and we even spotted Daffodils starting to sprout.
I can’t wait for Spring, what about you?
When I was Room Mommy at Thade’s preschool I brought along Handmade Bears and Teddy Bear Snack Mix for all of the kiddos. The snack mix is easy to make, and super tasty too.
Here is what you need:
Combine all of the ingredients, and give it a good stir. We used Treat Bags to store our snack mix, but you could store the Snack Mix in any air tight container.
My best friend came over to help me fill all of the bags, and then we assembled the bears for Preschool. It was a fun afternoon project, and the preschoolers loved the treats too.
When I go shopping I find myself comparing everything. I compare price to price, size of packages, I do all this to find the best deal for my grocery dollars. Another way that I have saved is to shop at different areas in the store, for the same product only at a better deal. Here are a few examples…
I needed a new shower poof, so I checked by the body wash first. I found them for $.97, which sounded like a pretty good deal, until I spotted shower poofs by the travel sized items. This time it was the same poof only double packaged 2/ $.97! I picked up the two pack, and saved a little along the way.
Another way I saved recently was on a travel sized contact solution. I was shopping at Walgreens and asked where the travel sized items were. I found the display and I was about to pick up the travel sized Contact Solution for about $3.00, when I thought I should check out the back of the store where the regular sized Contact Solution was, and hope for a better deal. I found discounted 3 oz Contact Solution with a Contact Case for just $.87, perfect for travel, and a great price too.
So next time you are out shopping don’t forget to look up, look down, and shop all around the store for great deals.
It started with Thade, who had a bad cough. Then the cough turned into an evil cold, which resulted in many nights of lost sleep for the household. Last night I was checking in on Thade, and refilling the vaporizer when I heard the same cough, this time out of Dylan. So it was another night of just about 4 hours of sleep, and now I’ve got two coughing kiddos today.
Both boys are miserable, but they are still little cuties even when they don’t feel so good.
Last night we caught the Bud Shootout, and I was so glad that we did. It was an awesome race. Although I would have loved to see another Jimmie Johnson win, James was thrilled when Kevin Harvick took the checkered flag for the win! We’ll be watching the Daytona 500 pole qualifying this afternoon too, I can’t wait…
