One of our favorite foods in this house is pasta. It is something we all like to eat and is on the menu at least once a week…..if not more. A few years ago when I was preparing dinner, I went to drain a pot of bowling water into a strainer and lost control of the whole pot and water and ended up scalding my stomach very, very badly. Not only did I end up with a massive burn across my belly, but at the time that it happened I was wearing a air of pants that had elastic in the waist (don’t judge) and when the water hit my pants it melted the elastic immediately causing it to bond with my skin and making the situation even worse. ( I just spent 25 minutes trying to find the picture of the burn so you could see just how bad it was but didn’t have any luck).
Since that night, I have had a fear that it would happen again and very rarely do you find me over my sink draining a boiling pot of food in water into the strainer. This is now a task that I prefer to hand off to the Hardworking Hubby.
I am pleased to announce that recently, I conquered my fear, thanks to the Bialetti Pasta Pot.
This pot is one of my new favorite kitchen/cooking tools.
First off, it is huge! It is 5 quarts (4.7 liters), has a nonstick interior which means your food won’t be sticking to the bottom or sides and it is super easy to clean (I like things that are easy to clean!). It is also oval in shape so you can fit every type of pasta in it.
Oh and then there is my favorite part……it has a LOCKING STRAIN & DRAIN LID!
Do you know what that means?? It means that when I use this bad boy, I don’t have to balance it over a strainer that is sitting in one side of the sink while doing my best not to burn myself.
Now all I have to do put the lid on the pot and lock it, carry it over to the sink, tip it and drain all the hot burny do not hurt me liquids out of it!
Did I mention I also love this pot because it is that beautiful blue cheer color and it meshes very well with my lime green cookware? It also comes in orange spice, purple passion, and sizzling red.

Having a very active and busy 4 year old in our house can definitely be challenging at times. He is constantly on the go and into everything. Not only do we have an active 4 year old in the house, Hardworking Hubby also works 3rd shift meaning he sleeps during the day. A sleeping Hardworking Hubby means that I try to find activities that take the little dude outdoors or keep him quiet…well, as quiet as you can expect a 4 year old to be.
Over the weekend, we were incredibly busy with the Easter holiday and needed something to occupy my little guy while we were busy getting everything else ready. Distracting him was particularly easy this time thanks to his new Crayola Outdoor Bubbles and Bubble Launcher.
He absolutely LOVES these bubbles, the launcher and just how colorful they are!
Thankfully I am a mom who encourages messy play because yes, these bubbles, they are messy but the fun makes up for it.
Since they can get messy, make sure to:
**Dress for Mess. Wear washable play clothes and shoes. It’s best to not wear suede, leather or any other material that can’t be washed.
**Play Outside. An open grassy area is best away from new concrete, decks and porous surfaces like marble. Don’t use at formal events like weddings.
**Rub skin to remove color.
**Launder clothes promptly with water and detergent. Repeat washing may be needed.
**Hose off outdoor surfaces like sidewalks and driveways to wash away color.
I was very surprised that Tatertot managed to keep things pretty clean (this is something he rarely does!). He did get a little bit on his skin and thought it was pretty cool he could just rub it away!
The little man was entertained for quite some time playing with his bubbles outside while Zman supervised and mommy got some work done! His favorite color of bubbles was the fuschia ones because they were soooo bright! You can check out more on these great bubbles on Crayola’s YouTube Page.
You can connect with Crayola on their website, Facebook , Twitter and YouTube.
How would you like to have some bubble blowing fun of your own?
Our friends at Crayola have been generous enough to offer The Megalomaniac Mommy a 3-pack of Crayola Outdoor Colored Bubbles and a Crayola Bubble Launcher to giveaway to one lucky reader!!
