At Home Date Night

One of the things I love most about going on dates with Loverboy is that I get a chance to dress up.  I like to look cute, and let's face it, stay at home mom's don't always have the time to dress up.  

Cents of Style has a great variety of really cute accessories to help you spruce up for your at home date (or a night out if you prefer).  Their prices are fantastic and the quality is wonderful!

Can you imagine it?  Your kids are snugly in their beds for the night.  You've enjoyed a fantastic, healthy meal with your love.  Now you settle in by the fire place.  Your love pulls out a bottle of wine and...

oh no! where is the wine opener?  I can never find these things when I want them.  I wonder if I could open it with a paring knife...

Good news.  I have a bright red Ozeri Electric Wine Opener!  This is not easy to lose - it's big and bright red.  It's got a foil cutter attached at the top, it's convenient and easy to use.  It also comes with a wine stopper that is easily used as a pouring spout!

Good news!  This great wine opener is part of the At Home Date Night Package!  You can win it to share with your love on Valentines Day!

Murphy USA Superbowl Snacks #smrterdriver

The challenge?

Visit Murphy USA and purchase $25 in snacks for your Superbowl Party.

My thoughts?

"No way.  Gas station snacks are super expensive." 

"Do they even have snacks at that station?"

"I'll probably just have to get a bunch of small chip bags and a few 20 oz soda bottles."

What we found at our Murphy USA store:

Large bags of chips: $3 each!

Wall of Candy: 2 for $1 or 2 for $1.50

Monkey found a lot of things he liked.  We couldn't leave without a package of candies

Pepsi 12 packs: $3.99 or 3 for $10.99

What we got:

4 bags of chips, 3 12 packs of soda, 2 bags of candy.

My Thoughts Now:

We had a great time shopping at Murphy USA.  I was really pleasantly surprised at how much we were able to get for $25.  We enjoyed looking through the store and discovering what all they had, even in a limited space.  I did not expect to find so much variety at our local Murphy USA.  

How did we do?

$25.34!  I went over, just a tiny bit.  I think we met our challenge well!

Thank you to Murphy USA for providing our family with this fun shopping experience.

Food on Friday: Vegan Black Bean Salad

My boys love salad.  They love it when I set out a variety of vegetables on the table and let them tell me what they want in their salad.  Unfortunately, that tends to take up a lot of table space.  

This week I've been working on putting together some pre-mixed salads.  Here is the one from last night.

1 can black beans

1 cup frozen peas

1 cup frozen corn

1 small onion, chopped

1/2 avacado, diced

1/8 cup cilantro, torn

2 handfulls turnip greens

1 cup salsa

I don't actually measure anything, just throw it into the bowl and mix. This salad was a big hit with Monkey (my pickiest eater).

Sponsor Spotlight: Zoobie

All For Love Event

Sleep Tight Package

Every little one should have a snuggle animal and soft blanket for sleep time.  Zoobie's animals are perfect for taking anywhere for a good snooze.  

Want peace and quiet so you can have a date on Valentines?  Try a new Zoobie blanket pet for your little one.  Check out the Zoobie website and look at all of their adorable stuffed animals.  Monkey picked the horse, Patch the Pinto, for Crackers - it was an excellent choice.

I love the way the blanket folds up and zips into the animal.  It's got a double zip system - it zips to attach to the animal, then once it is folded, it zips inside the animal.  

Zoobie is adding one Zoobie blanket pet to the Sleep Tight Package!  For early entries, leave a blog comment telling me which blanket pet is your favorite.
