More Giveaways for Moms
28 04 2009I’ve been planning early for Mother’s Day by planting some extra flower seeds (mostly marigolds) in little pots to give to my mother-in-law. Since they aren’t looking too great, I’d better start making other plans!
Well, maybe I can win something for her over at 5 Minutes for Mom. They’re having a Mother’s Day Giveaway through May 9th with lots of neat prizes like a $300.00 gift card to The Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. Good luck entering!

Sharing a happy thought
27 04 2009I’m very sad this week that our travel plans have changed and the kiddos won’t get to see their grandparents. The best remedy to cheer yourself up is to do something nice for someone else. So we’re having a giveaway…
This week, you can win a mystery care package of good things. Not sure yet exactly all that’ll entail, but I’ve started with a potluck stack of 50+ unexpired coupons. I also put in some true lemon packets, since I love them. I’m sure I’ll put some chocolate in the package too! As the comments add up, I’ll add more to the package.
How to enter: Leave a comment. (something cheerful is much appreciated!) Giveaway is now closed. Check here for the winner.
Five additional random ways to enter: (leave a separate comment for each)
1. Leave a comment on any other post on our blog. Leave the name of the post in your comment here.
2. Visit A Full Cup and comment with the name of the forum you find most useful. (I’m “massachoomommy” and I love the Price Chopper Forum!)
3. Follow me on twitter. Leave your twitter id in a comment.
4. Comment with the name of a favorite blog & tell us what you like about it.
5. Comment with the name of your favorite cookbook. (Looking for new recipes!)

26 04 2009I’m not happy about summer weather taking over my spring time! Looks like a week to reheat meals from the freezer and cook in the toaster oven. Arghh, another week without the microwave! It’s fate is in the hands of the Geek Squad as they make good on their appliance extended warranty… hope it comes back soon!
Monday: Pork fried rice (with leftover pork & veggies)
Tuesday: Quiche (already made!) & salad
Wednesday: Bratwurst & potatoes
Thursday: chicken ceasar salad
Friday: Fishsticks & veggies
Saturday: Microwave meal while hubby is off playing games—no wait, I keep forgetting there is no micro!
Sunday: Leftovers

Toddler Speak
6 04 2009As I am trying to post my meal plan for the week, my three year old comes up to me to tell me he and his brother are going on a “abenchure”. “A what? An adventure?” I ask. “No,” he says, “say aBENchure.” “Oh, ok, have fun!” This got me thinking of all the silly mispronuciations he shares with me. I need to record them so I can remember them in 20 years!
Here are a few more!
snesame: sesame
bandana: banana
eggo: Diego
nah-sree-us: rhinocerus
a lick: a lollipop
Funny thing is, he can say Massachusetts perfectly (even pronounces the T on the end)!

Spring is popping up at Bakerella
6 04 2009You should see the cupcake pops that Bakerella has designed for Easter. They are stinkin’ cute! The chicks are probably my favorite, but the wooly lambs are pretty sweet too.
