Saves time, money, and brain power :) All of these but the homemade pizza are new recipes from my favorite cookbook Our Best Bites (you need).
Monday: philly cheesesteak sandwich
Tuesday: Teriyaki chicken kabobs and rice

This post should prove to you how poor and frugal we are. My 2 yr old wanted this pink microphone SOO bad from the store. She even cried when we left and continued to ask for it for 3 days. That has never happened EVER. So I had the genius idea to make her one. A toliet paper roll, tissue paper, some buttons and gems, and good ole modge podge and voila!! A microphone!

She wants to help with everything. I shouldn't complain but goodness gracious it gets overwhelming sometimes. She will rip up paper just so she can get the broom out and sweep. She pushes the mop around, she unloads the dishes (this I actually like), she always wants to put the laundry into the wash, she helps me fold laundry (which means taking it out Mom's Opinion 101http://www.blogger.com/profile/15845137262116349270noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348799610395599466.post-54895330507077921322011-05-26T08:57:00.000-06:002011-05-26T08:57:25.992-06:00Yes, I really am blogging about hiccupsSo the other night my husband had the hiccups and I asked if he wanted to get rid of them. He said "Sure, scare me." No, no, no silly. I have the REAL way to get rid of hiccups. So I told him what to do and it worked (of course, it always works) and he was amazed. He kept waiting to hiccup but guess what? He hasn't hiccuped since.

The culprits and their filth
So I'm pretty sure that the purpose of a bath is to be cleaner exiting than when you entered. The other night my 2 yr old squirted one of her bath toys and this nasty black stuff came out. I drained out the yucky water and thought "Maybe I should clean these toys." Well tonight I finally got around to cleaning them. HOLY DISGUSTINGNESS of the nation!!!

Dear Home Depot,
I love you. When we went out to start our sprinklers this year we realized that the timer had broken. My husband called Home Depot where we had bought the timer last year and told them it was broken. We had no receipt or box but they happily replaced it for us, FREE!

I have said I will do this about a hundred times (with both kids) and never do it. It took me until my first baby was 1 to make her sleep through the night and until she was 2 to actually stay in her bed all night. I know, insanity. SO last night I decided that I could do it for real this time!

I love this vacuum and would recommend it, HOWEVER, my sister just bought a Dyson (not a ball) and very much disliked it.
