I admit it... I love a good deal. Especially when it's a thrifty find.
A little while ago, my hubby and I were doing some thrift store shopping. I was on the mission to find some equipment for the "mud pie kitchen" that I've been wanting to set up for my daughter. I was scouring the racks of miscellaneous items when I found it... the find of the century....

Well, here we are again... a few days away from Easter! I'm trying to pack a basket that is not 100% junk (candy or dollar-store-find kind).... so what to include?? Here are my ideas so far:
-
Food:
-
Trail Mix - buy in bulk and divvy up into little Easter themed baggies (you can get both at Bulk Barn)
-
Dried fruit bars (try Sun Rype Fruit to Go at Dominion)
-
Sugar-free Gum - try the new multi-flavoured kinds
-
Spring & Easter themed cookie cutters (Bulk Barn; Walmart)
-
make Rice Crispy cookies and put inside plastic..... read the rest at http://stjohnsmom.blogspot.ca/2012/03/easter-count-down-things-to-fill-basket.html

So, as part of my little Countdown to Easter, I wanted to share a fun brunch idea with you - something tasty you could make with the kids on Good Friday or Easter Sunday AM....
But, before I get to that... a story.
Recently, I was given a sample of Sun-Maid Raisin Cinnamon Swirl bread. Yes, it was yummy (DH even ate it for dessert!), but that is not the be-all-n'-end-all of this tale....
OK...
You see, the bread was so good, we knew we were going to get more. And, we were going to get that first loaf with the "full value" coupons we had also received! Oh! the excitement! They were placed with care on the shelf above the counter, right next to the pantry (yes, this detail will matter).
Then, one day last week, remembering the recipe attached to the coupons, I picked up the parcel. As I grabbed the waffle toast recipe, a terrible, terriblething happened: the coupons slid out of my hand and magically aligned with the crack between the counter top and the wall, and they fell in!
They were.... gone!
For a moment, I will not kid you, I was shell shocked....
.... wanna know the rest? Believe me, you will never think of me or raisin bread the same again.... http://stjohnsmom.blogspot.ca/2012/03/tasty-tuesday-raisin-bread-adventure.html |

A couple months ago, my husband and I started to put our baby on more of a schedule. We planned out times for her feedings and her naps with hopes that the structure would help her sleep better in the evenings.
We wrote the schedule on a whiteboard. The permanent schedule is in blue and we add the adjusted times in red. For example, if the baby is up at 6:30 am instead of 7:00 we record the modified time on the schedule.
The other day I was preparing the baby's breakfast in the kitchen when my daughter asked....

My blog was recently visited by the Fairy Hobmother. For those of you who don't know who that is...
She travels across the blogsphere spreading joy to the authors of blogs. The Fairy Hobmother wants to recognize all the hard work we put into blogging and awards bloggers with a token of appreciation.
How does she find you?
I was asked on a blog once, “If I could have one wish, what would it be?” I can’t recall what my wish was but The Fairy Hobmother was listening that day.
So she flew on over to my blog and got a chuckle on my “ Beat It” post.
The Fairy Hobmother was gracious and gave me a wonderful gift of $100 and I cannot tell you how extremely grateful I am. Since I am unemployed, this money will help us out tremendously.
Now The Fairy Hobmother is always listening…
She told me that she would be reading my comments and she might travel to one of your blogs to spread some love.
Perhaps you’d like to tell her what your one wish would be.
Yup, it's as easy as that.

It all started yesterday. I stumbled across three DVDs of my eldest daughter. We call them her baby DVDs but really the footage of her is between the ages of one and three.
My daughter was thrilled and insisted on watching them. We loaded up the DVD and she sat on the floor watching them, completely mesmerized by the baby on the screen.
Here's another teary mommy moment. Will I ever stop crying?
