Unleashing the Wanderlust Spirit: Exploring the World Through the View From Up Here

Oh Baby, Baby

Growing up we always had little things given to us on Valentine’s Day. Our Papa always got us something like a box of chocolate, balloon, or a stuffed animal. My parents always got us a card and something little like candy or a cute outfit, and obviously a class set of something to give our friends. 

Today on my weekly daily Target run, I ventured over to the Valentine’s candy so I could pick up some candy to make my Hubby a treat (this will be up on the blog tomorrow). I overheard a mom asking her little ones what they wanted to give their classmates. The little boy (probably 4) wanted to buy a LARGE heart shaped box of candies for all his classmates–well first he said just the girls (until his sister made fun of him). His mother quickly said that they would not purchase those, and his options were what she was standing in front of. He decided on something but then told his mother “my classmates need more then just that!”. She assured him that they would get plenty from the rest of the kids in the class. After hearing that there would be all kinds of stuff handed out…he was content.

I love giving! It really just excites me to give to people. I mean don’t get me wrong I love receiving…but giving to others just makes those people so happy, and makes you happy in return. Below are the “treats” I picked out for babies. I bought my Bennett #1,#2, and #3.

Next time you get ready to potty train don’t let Next time you get ready to potty train don’t let ANYONE tell you that one gender is easier than the other. Kids are kids and they each have their own personality. My daughter is very much into doing things herself without help—so potty training had to be done by her not the experts (myself). I used the same potty training technique that I used with the boys, and it did take a bit longer for her to get it—but that’s because she took what I told her to do and did her own thing. 🤣 The next big step? Moving to a big girl bed. I’m not ready. 😭
Ok smoothie, ice cream—it’s all the same thing Ok smoothie, ice cream—it’s all the same thing. Elevate your @corepower drink by using the @ninjakitchen Creami. To prep my ice cream I pour my drink into the container the night before with some bananas. The next morning it’s ready, I mix it twice on lite ice cream. If it seems like it’s not mixing well just add a splash of milk. I typically like to add Lilly’s Chocolate Chips, but they were missing so I found the marshmallows and said whatever and threw some in. I then mixed it on “mix in” and it seriously tastes like a frosty. It is delicious!
