Chick fil-a taste test

The other night our local Chick-fil-a was hosting a taste test.  At first I was not sure I wanted to do it.  My Oldest and some of his fellow scouts were adventuresome and said they wanted to try it.  Teenage boys are always will to try different foods mixed together.


  A Chick-fil-a employee gave my Oldest a blindfold to put on, when the blindfold was secure, he handed him a cup full of mystery ingredients.

 This is his first bite of the mystery Ingredients.

 Here he is chewing it and trying to figure out what it was.  He knew from the start it was a chicken nugget, but it took him a little while do decide what was coated on it.  After a few chews he decided it was honey, and he was right.

This is him handing the blindfold to the next victim.  This was such a fun even for the boys.  We were all laughing and having a great time.  Chick-fil-a always knows what to do to keep us coming back. 


Believe it or not the next victim was me. Since this blind taste test was hosted by Chick-fil-a, I knew It would be a delicious one.  I did not have to worry about any of the cups being filled with gross food.  Here is a video of my taste test. (it was taken by My Oldest)

Happy Valentine's Day to me

So this morning I woke up to this...

 I was so excited.  I love flower and these are big and beautiful.  My favorite, white roses and they smells so sweet too.  I felt really love and cherished.  You see some times we wait until after Valentine's day to celebrate our love for each other.  It just seems like such a waste to spend twice if not triple the about of a products just because it is a certain day. On the other hand it is sometime night to get something just because!

He also hand picked this red velvet cupcake and strawberry dipped tuxedo.  It looks so yummy.  I cannot wait to try it, but I am going to wait until after dinner.

He has planned a romantic dinner at home after the kids go to bed.  He is going to make me dinner, but it is a surprise as to what we are having to eat.  It will probable be a filet of steak or lobster, those are my favorite.  I am sure there will be a salad and bake potato too. Yum!

I am so excited I cannot wait!

I pray your Valentine's day is a blessed one.  May you be showed with love and gratitude on this day.

Hosting a Pull Ups House Party

I was chosen to host a Pulls Ups Dance Party by House Party on February 11th.

If you want more information on House Party click here.

First, we invited the guest.  I talked to all my friends that were either in the trenches of potty training or about to begin the adventure.  We asked our friends if they would join us on our quest to see if their child was ready lean about potty training.

When we knew how many guest to expect we made a list and went shopping.  We want to make sure all the little one tummy are full, and they can listen to the "Potty Training success" dvd.

Before the guest arrived we made cookies in the shape of houses (since this is a house party.  What were you expecting diapers?  Yuck, no one wants to eat that. lol)  I frosted the cookies for a tasty treat after they tried using the potty.

 I also made sandwiches in the shape of a house.  The kids liked them, they looked cute and tasted great.  We had plenty of juice boxes to help the potty training process.

Let the Party Begin

 As the guest arrived we gave each of them a "Let's do the potty dance" mat and an inflatable guitar.  We played some of the songs on the "Potty Training success" dvd.   Here are some photos of the kids rocking out with their guitars.  They had so much fun.

When all the guest had arrived we watched the "Potty Training success" DVD.  We all tried to do the Potty Dance.  We also played the Wet or Dry game.  Then the little one all played together while the moms watched a segment on the signs of readiness. 

Here are some of the kids best moves:

  

 Here is Little Man and Mare Bear trying their moves during the the Potty Dance video.  I learned so much watching the "Potty Training success" DVD.  I am so excited to start the potty training with Little Man.  From what the video said he is not yet showing the signs of readiness, but I know he will be soon and I will have all the tools I need to help him succeed in his potty training journey.


When the party was over we handed each kid their goody bag to take home.

The goody bags were full with :  
1 Pull-ups potty dance sticker sheet 
1 Pull-ups potty dance Training success DVD
1 Pull-ups potty dance Progress Charts
2 Pull-ups potty dance Door hanger
1 Pull-ups potty dance Inflatable guitar
1 Pull-ups potty dance Information card with point code
1 Walmart and Pull-ups potty dance coupon book


My guest were so happy to receive all the free potty training aids from House party.  A big thank you to House Party and Pull Ups for helping make my party a success.   


UPDATE: after the party I thought of the idea of making a toilet cake.  Click Here to see how to make a toilet cake.

Giveaway: 5 boxes of General Mills Cereal review

Closed: the winner is Marci from http://ajoyfulheartandsoul.blogspot.com/  As I am trying to eat better and take care of my body we are making some changed in what we eat.  We are adding more whole grain to our diet.  The Dietary Guidelines recommend choosing products with a whole grain listed as the first ingredient. Did you know every General Mills cereal with the white check has more whole grain than any other single ingredient with the same great taste.   Look on box and you will see “whole grain” as a part of the first ingredient on the ingredient list, indicating that whole grain is the first and most prevalent ingredient.

According to Dr. Travis Stork, emergency room physician and host of “The Doctors,” identifying whole grain products can be challenging. Shoppers can look for nutritional cues on the front of the box, but they need to read the ingredient list to know if they are getting enough whole grain. Ingredient lists detail ingredients in order of prevalence, and if the words “whole grain” are followed by a grain like wheat or oats, it means the food contains more whole grain than any other single ingredient.   Dr. Stork has some additional recommendations to help you include whole grain easily into your diet. They include: Start Early! The Dietary Guidelines recommend people get at least 48 grams of whole grain in their daily diets. Get a jump-start on the day’s nutrition by incorporating whole grain into your morning routine. For instance, when choosing cereal make sure whole grain is listed as the first ingredient. One easy choice is cereal with the white check, which have more whole grain than any other single ingredient.                                            . Make Simple Swaps. Choose whole grain versions of the foods you love. Great options include whole wheat pasta and whole wheat bread or even whole grain crackers. Also, try different types of whole grain. Use brown rice instead of white rice as a side dish at dinner or popcorn, which is a whole grain, for a snack.                                                                                        . Don’t Judge a Food by Its Cover. The front of food packages provide good nutritional cues, but don’t forget to read the ingredients and check the nutrition label and side labels for additional health information. Cereals with the white check even include the amount of whole grain per serving on packaging.    Fast Lane for Whole Grain Game: Check out General Mills new online educational game  “Fast Lane for Whole Grain.  This game was development to help you with choosing whole grains.  You can navigate virtual grocery store aisles and identify products that have whole grain as the first ingredient.  You can also enter a sweepstakes to win one of each of the 50 General Mills cereals with the white check. For more information on the importance of whole grain and a chance to enter the “Fast Lane for Whole Grain” sweepstakes, visit www.WholeGrainNation.com. Make a commitment to add more whole grain to your diet by simply pouring a bowl of cereal with the white check including Cheerios®, Lucky Charms®, Cinnamon Toast Crunch®, Honey Nut Cheerios®and Total®. We made the commitment to switch and my kids have never been healthier.  I they did not even notice that we had made the switch.  They just see the same cereals we have always enjoyed eaten.
