It has been a week!!!

I am currentlty into hour 4 of my summer vacation…..what a week it has been leading up to this glorious afternoon. I have lots to post about, and now, finally, I may actually have the time to do so!! But I don’t really have time today, MAM’s first dress rehearsal of her first dance recital starts in a mere hour.

So, instead, I urge you to go check out Grown In My Heart. If you haven’t already, please check out the badges to the right, and follow us on Twitter, and become a fan on Facebook!!

On the Edge of Summer Time

I love ice cream, especially in the summer time. Ice cream loves me too….it likes to hang around long after the taste is gone (think: ” A minute on the lips, a lifetime on the hips). So I was most excited to learn about Skinny Cow ice cream products a few summers ago.

I am a fan of the traditional ice cream sandwich-vanilla ice cream, with chocolate cookies as bookends. The vanilla Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches are outstanding–unlike a lot of “lite” products, they are a decent size and don’t taste “lite”. I passed these out recently to my husband and my mom, and they both thought gave the vanilla Skinny Cow thumbs up.

The Skinny Cow website is full of information on healthy lifestyles, a downloadable walking journal, and the Weight Watchers points value for all products (they don’t make a dessert over 3 points! How great is that?). There’s even a “flavor finder” that can point you to a store that carries the product you crave.

Thanks to Mom Central for the opportunity to participate in this blog tour!

Not the brightest jewel in the box…..

Have I mentioned Jr. is a big fan of sleep?? Or should I say that he prefers snacking to sleeping, given the choice??? After a brief stint at sleeping through the night (the only memory I have of it is the mention I give it on this blog, really), he’s been back to waking up at least once, if not twice a night. EVERY NIGHT. (note: he just turned 11 months old)

So anyway, I’m not a very bright light these days. The obvious is no long a given for me.

Last night, we went to a race party at “the Pink Tower”. A big tent, free food, free drinks, music on a gorgeous summer night. Heaven. But I noticed something: armed security. I found it strange that the valet parking guys were armed. The doorman into the jewelry store was armed. The security guys inside tent were armed. It took me a good 15 minutes to put it all together.

(if you haven’t figured it out yet, go take a nap and think on it. I’m going to try for mother/son nap time this afternoon myself…..)
