Cha-CHING

I’m getting paid to exercise! Can you believe it – pinch me – yep it’s real.

B-day Cakes

I’ve recently decided I enjoy the challenge of attempting to make a birthday cake for my kiddo that resembles his request. With #2 about to have her 1st birthday I find it only appropriate to do the same for her. Granted she is a bit young to put in a request other than “bob” – currently her favorite noise to udder – or pffffftttttt blah da yapa do – not sure how to make that into a cake. So I get to choose. Given her B-day is the day after Valentine’s Day, I’m tempted to include hearts in some way, but possibly not the primary focus as she should get her own day too.

So I went to the internet in search of ideas, and what did I find???!! THE BEST WEBSITE EVER!

Poop Giggles

If you’ve ever said the word poop around a 5 year old, you probably were met with giggles. I know my son is very easily amused by the word.

The other day we were looking at downloading a new FREE app for my cell phone that he could ‘play’. Most of his ideas, however, were licensed and thus cost $. I’m not one to purchase apps – esp for game play. So when he told me to enter “just something’ for the search term I choose poop to get a giggle out of him. Little did I know how exciting it would be for both of us.

There’s an App for that

Keeping the family calendar organized and communicated is an area I’m always looking to improve. Written calendar on the wall isn’t portable for us to reference on the go. Cell phone calendar has worked for us, but lacks a sharing capability so we still do on occasion have overlapping conflicts.

I’m excited by what I’ve recently discovered
