My Babies...

We've been super busy around here lately.

Don't ask me what we've been busy doing because I'm not sure.

But for whatever reason we've been busy.

With all that said- I did get a chance to snap a few shots of my sweet babies - minus one- the baby- she didn't make this particular walk.  She stayed with her daddy.

No matter how busy we get- I'm so thankful for these faces to keep busy with!

Rock Star Soccer Player...

Little Man has really turned into a rock star of a soccer player.

He's a scoring machine!  But most importantly- He works really Hard!

He makes his mama proud!

 

I know I'm partial (and maybe it's wishful thinking)- but doesn't he just look athletic?...I'll answer for you:

Yes.  Yes he does.

What else have we been up to?...

Ahhh yes.

One night I got bored so I dyed both of my older children's hair. 

I might have done the baby's too but she was asleep.

(Before you pick up the phone and call me in- I'm just kidding about the baby.  Blue isn't her color anyway.)

First there was bleaching involved.

I can almost hear you gasping in shock.

But look how cute she was during the whole thing...

Now it's ready for some awesome blue color.

Did you think I was kidding about the blue color?

I. Was. Not. Kidding.

Little Man only got to wear his to school one day and then the next night he got it all buzzed done to the hair without blue on it.

Did I mention that their daddy wasn't home when this took place?

Well, he wasn't, and while he did handle the shock fairly well- I'm pretty sure we won't be doing blue on Little Man's hair again any time soon.  He wasn't quite as shocked by Little Miss'.

TA-DA...

I forgot to take an after picture of Little Man's.

Isn't it so fun!

Maybe we'll do pink next time.

Just kidding Honey and Grandparents...you don't have to call me right after you read this.

I would never do pink anyway- she would look way better in PURPLE.

Mira Stainless Steel Containers- A Product Review and Giveaway

A few weeks ago I was asked to do a Product Review here on my blog.

 

Here's the BEST part...

 

I was also asked to do a GIVEAWAY along with the review!!!

 

Yay!!!

 

Who doesn't LOVE a giveaway?!?!.

MIRA Stainless Steel 2 Container Set -  Medium

Here's Amazon's Description:

Featuring non-toxic kid-friendly easy-snap secure lids, Free of BPA, phthalates, PVC and lead

Containers are made of unlined 18/8 food-grade stainless steel, lids are made of non-toxic LDPE number 4 plastic, 2 medium containers 8-ounces

Perfect lunch or snack packing solution. Eco-Friendly and Reusable.

Here's Mine:

 

I Love these containers!

 

The size is perfect for packing yummy little snacks in my kiddos lunches.

 

Crackers, grapes, dried fruit, nuts, granola, yogurt- the list could go on and on really.

 

They're also the perfect size for fitting into their lunch boxes.  I was sent the orange lidded ones that are 8 ounces.

 

My kids loved the fun orange color the lids come in- I'm thinking about getting the larger, green lidded ones that are 16 ounces and the smaller, purple lidded ones that are 5 ounces as well- Little Miss will love the purple!  The lids also fit nice and snug so there was no worry of things spilling or leaking out in lunch boxes, my purse, the car, or the baby bag.  I've been just tossing them right in with no worries!  (they fit snug without being so snug that my munchkins couldn't get them off themselves)

 

I've already got visions of a nice salad in the bigger green one, my dressing in the little purple one, and side serving of strawberries in the orange one!!!  Picnic here I come...

 

I also love that they are reusable and eco-friendly- I always feel so guilty using and throwing away plastic bags!

 

It's awesome that unlike a lot of containers made from plastic- I don't have to worry about yucky toxins getting into our food. 

 

Probably my only complaint would be that they aren't microwavable because they're steel which makes warming up leftovers in your lunch difficult.  But then again- if you're worried about things like BPAs and other toxins getting into your food you might not be a big microwave user anyway.  I don't microwave much- So it really isn't a huge deal for us.

 

I really can't say enough about these containers...

 

I Love them!

 

So I've been asked to Giveaway a Set!  The 8 ounce, orange lidded containers to be exact...
