$15? really?

My sister recently told me about this awesome website (well, awesome service, crappy site) It is called Bountiful Baskets. Have you heard about it? Am I the last to know? Just in case I am not, I thought I would share the info with all 2 of you that read this.

This past Saturday we loaded the kids in the car and drove over to the pickup site, we volunteered for a few minutes helping to sort produce, then we went home with our own basket. You get half fruit / half veggies. This is our haul from Saturday.


$15. serious.

let me break it down for you.

1 head of lettuce
1 coconut
2 cucumbers
2 squash
1 bag of carrots
5 avocados
3 oranges
11 tomatoes
8 peaches
8 apples
9 bananas
1 clamshell of blackberries
1 clamshell of strawberries

$15!

Are you as impressed as me? okay, maybe it is just me. lol.

Just in case anyone else IS interested, here is how it works.

on Monday (usually after 4pm) go to http://www.bountifulbaskets.org/ and set up an account. pick your location and pay for your basket, then on Saturday bring a laundry basket or box. easy. try it. let me know what you think.

sneak peek

With Logan's birthday just around the corner, I have been keeping myself busy working on his 'ocean animals' party. I still have some things to work out, like invites, but for the most part I have it pretty well squared away. We have some fun things planned, and I think it is gonna be a cute party. Here is a sneak peek on what I have been working on lately.

You can't have an under the sea party without a fishing game, right? This is the curtain I have been working on, and the best part is it didn't cost us anything, I had every bit on hand already from previous projects. Can't beat free! I just had to include this pic. how cute is that?? I especially love that I don't have to change bums anymore, yea Bronson!
One more pic, Bronson randomly started making this face, happened to catch it on camera. silly boy.
