Yes, I must confess I went out and bought a new Bentgo Box. It was too hard only having one Bentgo box in the house. And sometimes Peyton has been known to forget her lunch box at school. So I bought a second one in blue. However, I will be buying a green one and a few extra inserts before school starts. I just love the shape of this lunch box! It's the perfect size for little kids. And it helps keep me from tossing a ton of junk food in a bag and sending her off to school. Today, Peyton is ...
Ice Age Collision Course
Can you believe they released Ice Age 5? It's the 5th installment in the Ice Age franchise. It seems like just yesterday the first Ice Age was released. I love the tagline for this Ice Age - Kiss Your Ice Goodbye. But the real title for the movie is Ice Age: Collision Course. So what happens in this Ice Age? Well, Scrat is still chasing that silly acorn. And, like every other movie, that silly acorn gets Scrat in a heap of trouble. This time, Scrat ends up chasing the acorn into ...
American Girl Bistro
Peyton is at the age where all things American Girl is thrilling. Every time we head out to the Mall of America, she insist we make a stop at the American Girl store. Well, today I surprised her with a late lunch in the American Girl Bistro!This is our second visit to the bistro. Typically reservations are needed. Going to the Mall of America is usually a last minute decision so I never try for them. But today we were going to try a walk up reservation since we were eating at 2 pm. And it ...
Bad Moms
Have you made it out to see Bad Moms? If not, I highly suggest you make some time and do it now! Bad Moms is a hilarious comedy about motherhood and how we, mothers, do way too much. I've seen it once but I'm already thinking about going back and seeing it again. It was that good. At the start of Bad Moms we meet Amy, Mila Kunis. Amy is a real go getter. She works outside the home, car pools her two kids, makes them breakfast and basically runs the household. She is a mom that does it all. ...
I Love You Just Because
Just because it's summer we don't slack off on reading. It's important to read to your child for at least 20 minutes a day. I know it can be hard and I know sometimes kids can fight you when it comes time to sit down and read. But a trick I've found is, a good book will always hook them. And if the pictures are colorful it also helps. I Love You Just Because is full of beautifully illustrated pages that will draw young children in. I Love You Just Because is the perfect book for preschooler ...
Scared Kitty Bento Box
I've been making Peyton's lunches for a few months now and I must admit I'm still having a blast doing it! Even though she has been requesting lots of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches I keep her box fresh and fun with new and interesting sandwiches thanks to my extensive collection of cookies cutters!I haven't used our Halloween cookie cutters since last Halloween. But I came across them while I was cleaning up our baking area. How fun is a sandwich in the shape of a cat? My one complaint ...
