Blog-A-Pal-Loosa Day 10--Pick Your Plum
Monday, May 14, 2012
Blog-A-Pal-Loosa Day 8
See what Anderea has to say about this awesome gift:
I know I am not the only mom who feels like she is running a taxi service for kids; running here and there and everywhere! We have activities every night of the week, it's either softball, baseball, soccer, ballet, hip hop, youth ministries, or ALL of them!
Many times I have to have snacks and drink loaded and ready, even for the kids (and mom) who are just along for the ride for that particular happening.
We always rely on our Blender Bottles and protein/nutritional bars, along with some fresh fruit and veggies. I love Blender Bottles; we have several, and they are good quality and hold up well even with the tough beatings they get. This is the reason I was so excited when Blender Bottle recently came out with a new sleek and sexy bottle called the Sport Mixer.
The bars we eat vary, I usually give the kids Clif Kids Organic Z bars and for me...my newest favorite is Nogii Paleo Bar in the fabulous flavor Nuts About Tropical Fruit. I am picky about bars and these are hands-down the best bars I have found. Its like a tropical beach party in your mouth with each bite!
Thus, my favorite things to take on-the-go with us, is what my GIVEAWAY is! YEAH!
The winner will receive a Sport Mixer Blender Bottle, my favorite Nogii Paleo Bar and 3 Clif Kids Organic Z bars. Courtesy of Life Fuel Supplements.
You know how much I love giveaways and that I am more than thrilled to be part of Blog-a-pal-loosa, 14 days of giveaways! With that being said, I would only giveaway and/or promote products that I truly love and believe in.
Good Luck!

Super Cute Blog-a-pal-loosa giveaway!!!
Pink Lemonade Apron and Chef Hat
with matching Recipe Cards
A 4T (ish - it could probably fit 3T-5T quite easily since it's adjustable), easy on/off (yeah velcro!) chef hat and apron set, hand made by me. The pink fabric has little tiny polka dots on it that don't show up on camera, so I think it's even sweeter in person.
Oh and of course this will include some matching recipe cards, because every new chef has to start her recipe collection at a very young age!

4 years old…already?
My little girl turned 4 two weeks ago. I say this every year, but I wonder how come life seems to be flying by so quickly. Anyone who knows me well knows that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the little ones. It saddens me to see my little ones grow up so fast.
She has the cutest and sweetest personality. She is always saying something funny! I love that about her! Such sweet innocence!
One of my favorites lately is to hear her say, “Mama, I want to wear a BEAU-TI-FUL dress!” She exaggerates the BEAUTIFUL part! Of course, I eat this up! I love to doll her up in cute girlie clothes!
So of course my little princess had to have a Disney Princess Birthday Party! At her request, she wanted a princess cake. Goodness, I have noticed that the cakes tend to get more involved each year! But, I would do it again to listen to and see her expression when the cake was complete!
“Oh Mama, I LOVE IT!” All morning long she watched and asked when she could put the princesses on the cake. She was super excited when I told her it was time for her to put the princesses on.
Here is the finished castle cake.
I used the Wilton Castle Cake set. This was a first, but I was not sure I would be able to pull off a standing castle without it! I was happy that it turned out so cute!
