fun facts friday

March 13, 2015

1. Happy Friday! Somehow, the week slipped away from me. Every night I planned to sit down and write, and every night went by and that didn’t happen. Ah well!

2. I got the rest of the pictures of the girls for their 18 month photos, and I am in love with all of them. I still don’t know how our photographer got so many good shots of the girls. Here are a few more of my favorites! All of these photos are courtesy of Three Loves Photography.

3. I received a great package in the mail yesterday! Have you ever tried the Garden Lites products? I have seen them at Costco in the frozen section before, so when they reached out to send me some of their products, I jumped at the chance. I’m always looking for nutritious snacks to feed the girls – especially since they are so picky. All of these products are gluten free and have a lot of hidden veggies in them – score one for mamas of toddlers!

Right after I opened the package I tried the chocolate banana muffins out on Emerson – she was an immediate fan! Brooklyn, however, needed some convincing. She is always a stinker when she is trying new things, but she gobbled it up once we finally got a piece in her mouth. :)

4. On another product note, I also received a box of produce from Farmbox Direct the other week. I love the concept of it. All of the produce was organic, and there was a great variety in there!

The only problem was that the day it was delivered was sub zero, and it was out on my porch for a while. While it comes in a refrigerated box, defrosting frozen vegetables doesn’t always work out so well. Some of the vegetables/fruits were salvageable but some were not. My advice is to schedule your delivery for a day that you’ll be home!

5. I don’t know what I did yesterday, but I really hurt my knee yesterday. I must have twisted my leg funny when I was walking because it hurts so much to bend it and put pressure on it. Giving the girls baths last night was torture! I know I have done this before, and it will just take a few days for the swelling/fluid in my knee to go down.. but youch!

6. Yesterday it was 57, and today it’s supposed to be 65! I’m so excited. I was going to take the girls for a walk when I got home yesterday, but my jogging stroller is nasty from being stored all winter. I’ll have to clean that up this afternoon so we can go for a walk!

7. With the warmer weather comes the cute spring clothes/shoes I bought for the girls! I’m so excited to bust out their new things. Silver glittery toms anyone? My mom did remind me that although their fashionable shoes are adorable, they need good play sneakers to rough around in outside. Noted, Mom.

8. Is anyone else having a hard time with their kids falling asleep this week? Emerson is always no problem, but Brooklyn is taking FOREVER to fall asleep. She’s already a night owl to begin with, but this Daylights Savings thing has messed with her.

9. Any big plans for the weekend? We don’t have anything planned except to complete our weekend chores and to enjoy the weather!

10. Happy Friday – have a good weekend!
