Enough Mommy! Enough!

Leave a comment

These are the things my toddler says to me.

Sure, he looks so sweet and innocent because he is unbelievably adorable

But please,

DO.NOT.LET.THAT.FOOL.YOU.

This adorable boy child of mine is FAR from innocent.
His latest BAD habit is that he absolutely does NOT want to nap.
The minute you put him in his bed, the guilt trip begins…
“NO! Mommy, don’t weave me! Please mommy, no go.”
He says this to me and his bottom lip is quivering and the tears are streaming down his face.

Apparently, he doesn’t know who he is dealing with.
I’ve been down this rode with 2 other kids.
I am not mush.

So, I give him a book and tell him to lay down.
And then, then I lie to him.

Me: “Can you lay down and read this for Mommy while Mommy goes potty? When Mommy is done in the bathroom I’ll come back to see you.”
Toddler: “Otay Mommy, I read, you go pee. Come back see me after?”
Me: “Yes. Mommy will be back.”

Yes.
I lied to my 2 year old.
The best part, he actually believed me that I was coming back and laid there reading his book until he fell asleep!

Then there are the moments that he’s being so sweet and innocent.
For example, after his nap today he wanted to help me work.
He came into our office/den area with me, grabbed the Alex’s chair, put it right next to mine at my desk, climbed up in it and turned to me and said, “Mommy, I help you work. I help you.”
His idea of work…..play with everything on my desk and then ask to watch Bobby (AKA: Spongebob) on my computer.
So, thanks to the help of Windows 7, I did the smart thing.
I moved the stuff I was working on to the right side of my screen and open up an episode of Spongebob on the left side.
As the show started, I began to sing the theme song.
That’s when the toddler planted his hand across my mouth, look at me and said,
“Enough mommy! ENOUGH!”

Yes, this is my life with my sweet and innocent toddler.

Progresso Soup Giveaway

This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to Debbie C.
I have enjoyed Progresso soups for years. I love that they are wholesome and nutritious, come in a wide variety and are not watered down like many other canned soups. I also love that Progresso has the Progresso Light soups and the Progresso Light varieties are now packed with bigger pieces of white meat chicken, more tender pieces of beef or added vegetables. Not to mention if you are on Weight Watchers (as I was last year and plan on being again after January 1st), the Progresso Light soups are only 1 Weight Watchers Point per serving!

Progresso also offers their New World Recipes soups such as Chicken Tortilla, Meatball & Rice, Black Ellie Jalapeno and Chicken & Vegetable in addition to their line of reduced sodium and high fiber soups as well.

Oh, there is also that part that Progresso has some of the coolest commercials out there that incorporate their trademark soup can phones.

Now, Progress and MyBlogSpark were kind enough to send me a set of the can phones so we could create our own unique Progresso commercial however, due to the fact that I have a toddler who gets into everything, I know longer have a camera to record said commercial with.

My apologies.

So, since I can’t offer you a hilarious Progresso commercial to watch, how about I give you an awesome Progresso Prize Pack!
Yes!
Progresso is letting me give one lucky reader a prize pack that will include will include VIP coupons for two cans of Progresso soup, a spoon rest, a soup can rack and a soup mug with matching spoon as pictured below.

Skillet Bacon Jam Review

Leave a comment

I LOVE bacon.
Seriously, we have a long standing relationship.
I love the taste of it.
I love the smell of it.
Really, I love everything about it.
It’s yummy!
I love to wrap things in bacon to cook them like meats and potatoes.
I love to put it on salads, baked potatoes, burgers, and sandwiches.
So imagine how ecstatic I was when I learned of this amazing thing called…..
Skillet Bacon Jam.

What is this Skillet Bacon Jam you ask?
Well, it’s bacon-y goodness in a little jar!

Skillet Bacon Jam is niman ranch bacon rendered down with onions, balsamic and other spices. It cooks for several hours until it is a perfect blend of smoky, tangy, savory and slightly sweet….basically spreadable bacony goodness! And, it’s USDA approved.

So far, we’ve tried it on sandwiches and burgers and it adds the most AMAZING flavor ever!!!!
My Alex is not afraid to try it on anything and in all honesty, I wouldn’t be surprised if he just ate it straight out of the jar!
It’s just that good!
Not to mention it smells so good it makes my mouth water!

When he invents a revolutionary car, a foreign government becomes interested in it, and resorts to skullduggery to get their hands on it. The all-time family classic evolves from there and viewers are taken on a magical ride with the professor and loveable motorcar.
