Where We've Been and What We've Been Doing...

We have just returned from the "Happiest Place on Earth" and we are currently undergoing what can only be described as Vacation Detox. HA! Lucy is getting reacquainted with obeying and we are all getting reacquainted with eating right and having non-vacation responsibilities-- but it sure was fun!

I am planning a couple of different posts sharing our pictures and a bit of information I learned which you may find helpful if you are planning a similar vacation with your toddler.. but in the mean time, enjoy the above glimpse into Lucy's first look at Cinderella's Castle! She was enthralled!

Publix Baby Club Freebie!

If you live in a state that has a Publix Grocery Store, (Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee) and you have a child under the age of two, you should join the Publix Baby Club!

As soon as we moved here, I joined online and though they do send you some nice little money-saving coupons, the real deal was this FREE book they sent me. It's a encyclopedia-size American Academy of Pediatrics Guide to caring for children from Birth to Age 5. The book has a $20.00 value but I received it at no charge a couple of weeks after I went online and joined the Publix Baby Club. I would imagine that most of you that live in one of these states know about this deal already-- but I was really shocked at how nice the book was! And in our house, FREE Books are better any day!

Wordless Wednesday - Sunny Memories

Here we are up to our eyeballs in rain the last few days so I thought I would post a few pictures from when we were having sunnier weather last week!!!

Thankful Thursday

I love quiet Saturday mornings with these two!

Free Dinner from Earth Fare Supermarket

Have you ever been to Earth Fare? It's a cute, relatively small "healthy supermarket" chain which happens to be very close to our new home. When we moved here from NC, we were happy to see an Earth Fare since we had one in Raleigh and any taste of "home" was welcome!

They have an A-MAZ-ING deal going on right now! If you hop on over to their website and join their email list--(go to Welcome Home) they will give you a coupon for a FREE dinner (*with a ten-dollar purchase) The free dinner consists of one whole chicken (from the meat dept.); a 1-lb. bag of organic, whole baby carrots (from the produce section of course!) and One lb. of russet smashed potatoes (already prepared in the deli area)

WE found this to be a terrific deal, even with having to spend $10.00-- which we spent on some of their other great produce deals, by the way. They have a good produce department.

So we came home, roasted the chicken in our oven for an hour, roasted those carrots up with cherry tomatoes and a chopped leek, (YUM!) and heated the mashed potatoes. DELICIOUS! AND, we now have bones to make stock and chicken for another recipe!
If you live in either, the Augusta area, Raleigh-Durham, Columbia, Charleston, Tallahassee or one of the other locations... consider this deal!

And now for your viewing pleasure... here is what we did with our free meal:
