Uh, YUM!
Okay so Steve got a bottle of this the other day and didn't like it so I took a sip......why am I so late to the party of this stuff??? SO GOOD! I've never been a fan of Gatorade or Powerade or Propel or any of that other crap, not to mention its loaded with sodium which is fine for athletes but not great when you have high blood pressure. This stuff has zero sodium so I can swim in it if I wanted! LOL, now there's an image for you. Anyway, just had to share the new love of my life!Tuesday, July 13, 2010
I'm a SLACKER!
Okay, not really, I've just been super busy with summer stuff and craft fair stuff; blah blah blah. I'm getting ready for The Old Hilliard Art Fair in September and have been really busy making hat after hat after hat. Sadly, my stock is not even close to what I need but I've set a weekly goal of 4 items and as long as I strive to reach that I should be golden. Right now I'm trying to decide if I should do some teen size hats in the local school colors...they may sell well or they might not and I don't want to be stuck with a ton of hats nobody wants. Hmmm, decisions.
The kids are doing great, Stella is almost walking (or could be if she wasn't such a lazy butt!)
Luca is growing into such an amazing little person. I look at him some days and think, 'wow, when did he get so smart and big?' We've been spending a lot of time with another SAHM friend of mine, Erin, and her little guy Adyn. I met Erin on a 'May 2009 moms to be' message board and found out she lives only 45 minutes from us. We met as a group when the babies were still itsy bitsy and we've got a lot in common and get along really well. The kids recognize each other now (at least it seems like they do) and play together very well...no hitting/biting/pushing at all and very little toy stealing. Luca loves playing with Adyn too!Summer is flying by faster than I ever thought possible. Luca is begging to go back to school so we'll all be happy when the fall gets here, lol. He's going to be going 2 days a week this year and cannot wait.
So that's not nearly all but all I have time for right now. I hope everyone is well and I will really try to update more often, although probably not much until this craft fair is over!!!

Good friends, Good Food and a GREAT time!
This weekend was amazingly fabulous! When I was pregnant with Stella I joined a message board for moms due the same month as me. We have kept in touch since having our kids and have all grown pretty close. I have made some wonderful friends out of these awesome women and Saturday some of us met up here in Columbus for a May '09 Babies' Birthday Bash!!! Amanda and her some Jacob and Amanda and her daughter Sylvia came together from Missouri and Sherri and her son Colton came from Pennsylvania to be there. Jen (Olivia), Heather (Luc), Erin (Adyn) and Angie (Keegan) are all here in various parts of Ohio. 8 babies, 8 mommies, pizza and cupcakes...what a fun day! It was so great to put faces to the pictures and names that we've come to 'know' over the past almost 2 years. Below is one of my favorite pictures from the party, all the babies stripped down and ready to eat some cupcakes! How can you not love that big mess of baby chub? Can you see Stella in her little pink bow ;)
After the party ended, Erin, Amanda, Dawn and I took our babies and headed up to Tuttle Crossing Mall for a little shopping before grabbing dinner at House of Japan, a delicious hibachi style joint.....oh the yumminess! Dawn, being the outgoing gal that she is, urged us all to try sushi, something that she loves. So, I was feeling very adventurous and decided to take the plunge. I ordered the Philadelphia which is cream cheese, smoked salmon and sesame seeds. It looks the safest because I liked all the ingredients. SO GOOD! Dawn prompted me to try her spicy tuna (not bad but not a huge fan) and her Manhattan which was crab stick, avocado and smelt caviar. Now the second one was a little scary because 1) I didn't think I liked avocado and 2) caviar has always sounded gross....I mean come on, fish eggs???? BUT, it was so so so good. The caviar almost tasted like buttery sesame seeds and guess what, I do like avocado, who knew. So it is safe to say I am now a sushi addict. Dinner was great, the babies were fantastic and so well behaved and the looks on their faces as the chef set the grill on fire and tossed the shrimp in his hat was priceless.
I was so in love with my sushi that I got some from Kroger's today (they have a sushi bar) and crossed my fingers that it wouldn't suck. I was very pleasantly surprised. Basically the same as what I had yesterday, this included avocado, cream cheese and smoked salmon with the sesame seeds on the outside. I have a feeling I will be getting this quite often. I haven't figured out the WW points value yet but I've heard its on the healthier side and at Kroger's you get 12 pieces for $5.95!
So, after dinner we made a pit stop at Kohl's for, yes, more shopping. I found the deal of the century! We were perusing the purses so Amanda could pick up a new bag and I scanned over the clearance stuff and was unimpressed by the usual ugly leftovers that make it to that section. Until.....drum roll please....I spied with my little eye, something purple and lovely. I discovered that that loveliness was in the form of a deep purple and black Vera Wang bag that was originally $89 and was marked down to $26. SOLD! To make it even better, the cashier gave me an extra %15 off so it ended up being $22 with tax. I love Kohl's!
Afterwards we all went back the their hotel and met Sherri and Colton down at the pool for a little swim fun. Despite the water being a tad cold, all the babies had a great time splashing each other and the mommies.

What a fabulous weekend. Erin and I are already planning on making a trip out to MO to see Dawn and Amanda...maybe in the fall? We aren't sure yet but I cannot wait to see these girls again. You never know how it will go when you meet in person people you've only known through the internet but they were exactly what I was expecting and hoping for and what a great experience for our kids. What a great story we will all be able to share when our kids when they are older. Thank you Amanda, Dawn and Sherri for making the trip and it was great seeing all the Ohio moms again!!!
