I'm not much of a cook but every so often I'll come up with something good. Usually it's out of a box but I try sometimes.
You can check out some of my awesome food- like Spinach Puffs- on the Weavers Wobble Facebook Page in the Food...Yum album.

Amazon's daily deals sell out really fast because they are such a great deal, so if you're considering this, get it asap. With over 1500 apps, 7 inch touch screen, wi-fi and more in a handheld device it's a great option at a great price for anyone without a cell phone (or one with limited internet access) or other small internet device. If I had any extra money I would absolutely buy one of these today!

Piano Recital Time!
This week was pretty crazy. Zachary was prepping for his piano recital (just a simple affair), I was sick (over-heated), intending to help get ready for the schools' Fun Days and then my friend's babies decided they were coming. I was planning to help her with whatever she needed so I changed some plans and picked up her kids yesterday. Babies arrived without a hitch last night (super adorable!!!) and we brought 1 extra kiddo to the piano recital today.
First we thought we were lost but we were right where we were supposed to be. Then: OH NO. We realize we didn't have his sheet music!!! There were just a few performances and when his turn came up and he didn't have it in his hand his teacher looked at me. I gestured that he didn't have his music and her eyes got big; my eyes got big! We both knew he had never played without it. He sat down and gave us this:
This mom is super proud and impressed, even if he did have a moment. I thought he might give up when he forgot what was next but he just kept thinking and did a great job! Last week we got a letter from his school about a test called the Edwin Gordon's Intermediate Measures of Music Aptitude audiation test. He scored in the high range, which is above the 80th percentile and means he "possesses some giftedness in music." Neat!

The Simple Things...
I was hanging laundry out to dry the other day and watched as my 1 year old ignored all of his toys. Instead he ran back and forth through the hanging blankets, having a blast. I was suddenly hit with the memory of doing the same thing when I was little. I also remember how fun it was. Who needs cool electronic gadgets when you have hanging sheets? My 3 year old and I also had spaceship races between them.
Horray for fun AND saving money on my electric bill!

"Duh" Moment of the Day
I was just sitting at the computer looking up some information for a trip I'm making out of town and wondered where the heck my 1 year old was. I knew he hadn't gone upstairs to visit daddy so I thought maybe his sister had taken him to the backyard to dig in my (attempted) herb garden. I got up to grab my shoes and finally it clicked- I had been nursing him the whole time. Wow! Sometimes I just don't know where my brain is!!
Can I blame this on Friday the 13th?

DaGeDar: Supercharged Battle Balls!
They are collectable, you can race them, you can battle them, they come in cool designs ("radical racers")...what more could a kid want??!
The just-launched DaGeDar Supercharged Battle Balls (http://www.dagedar.com ) will be coming to stores this summer. It has the excitement of racing tracks (we have many of those in our house- K'Nex, Hot Wheels and we even have a cool marble track but you can't race them) combined with the fun of social collection and competition (like Pokemon). Awesome!
With 3 young boys (and a girl) in my house we are always looking for exciting and challenging new toys that don't involve the television. This is definitely a toy to keep the boys busy!!
Check out this neat commercial about DeGeDar Battle Balls. It had my 9 year old son oohing and aaaahing, jumping up and down and pleading for them for his summer birthday! He was especially interested in the variety of racers. He loves to trade with his friends and these BEG to be traded. It's a unique twist on cards. I was a pog and slap-band kid so I recall the lure!
*I blogged about this product not only for a chance to WIN them from MomSelect but because the idea is fantastic! It's already been added to my son's 10th birthday wish list!!

Refilling Your Ink Cartridges
My friend Kristen at The Frozen Coupon made a video about how to refill your own ink cartridges to save lots of money when you print coupons from the internet. This will be mega helpful for me because just reading how to do something doesn't cut it.
I'm a huge fan of her suggestion to recycle paper. Why buy new when you can use what you already have but don't need. Seriously- I'm stocked for years with what my kids bring home from school, like worksheets!
And here it is:

CUPCAKES!
I may or may not have eaten around 10 mini cupcakes while making Amara's birthday cupcakes for school. They were really good.

Ten Thousand Villages Clearance + FREE Shipping
Thanks to Hip2Save I just spent $20 at Ten Thousand Villages!! They have a great selection of clearance items, starting at just $2 so it was really hard to resist.
There are a few special events coming up so it's okay to pick up some super cheap items to stow away.
I can't mention everything I got because of a few family readers/recipients but I couldn't resist the Galimoto for Henry (a push toy) for only $9. I also got a $4.50 textile hanger (it was $18!!!) for a textile Amara got for Christmas that needs to be hung up ASAP! For Daddy's day I got the Dragon Jar, on sale for $2.50 from $10. He never asks for anything and we know he loves dragons.

Not only did I score a few cool things for a great price but right now they are offering FREE shipping with the code EASTER at checkout. NO minimum required to get this fantastic deal. I hate it when you see a free shipping offer only to find out you need to spend $50, $75 or even $100. This is a real deal, folks!
