Time to get creative

My daughter isn't the best eater, so I figured it was time to get creative! I've been researching food blogs that talk about bento boxes for kids. These mothers are really creative, you have no idea!! Just check out Stephanie's blog! I figured I would give it a try. So I visited a local Japanese store to pick up some supplies. Here are a few of my supplies:

I use the items in the first 2 photos for holding healthy food in her lunch container. They help to divide the food. I use the items in the last photo to cut her sandwich which she thinks is too funny. I found food coloring pens to write faces on the bunnies and birds. When I get good, I'll take more photos of her bento boxes. 

Another food blog does a weekly "Muffin Tin" talk where they place food in silicone cupcake holders. Since my husband was out of town, it was girl night and a perfect night to try it out. So we had tomato grapes, rolled bologna, star shaped cheese, raspberries, butternut squash, sweet potato fries, and for dessert chocolate covered raspberry sticks. She ate everything except for the tomatoes which she said were gross! All in all, good night at the dinner table. She is eating new things and having fun, that is all that matters to me!

EYEBROW THREADING NBC 10 SPECIAL

Ever hear of eyebrow threading?? Here is what it is:

Eyebrow threading involves twisting a piece of thread, usually cotton, into a double strand. This double stranded thread is used to pick up a line of hair and then remove it, creating a very clean, precise hairline. Eyebrow threading is the technique preferred by Indian movie stars, who are often distinguished by their crisp brow lines.

I recently had it done for the first time and I highly recommend it! These women have talent too. I included a video so you can see first hand!

Wordless Wednesday

Memorial Day!

And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

Coupon anyone?

If you are like me, you never shop without a coupon? In this economy, every penny counts. I want every dollar I have to go as far as possible. I recently came across this site and thought I would pass it long:

WOW Coupons  is a GREAT site with printable coupons for the grocery, retails store, restaurants, travel, and more. Before heading out to a store, check the site and see if you can save some money!

Bento Boxes

Have you heard of a Bento Box?

 I found this one on Bento Box Blog and its too cute. Stay tune as I try to figure them out for my daughter. Nothing better than opening your lunch to find your mommy made you something special!

New law

I support Arizona!!  They are doing the right thing.....since the Federal Government won't do what they are supposed to do, then Arizona will!!  I hear of too many people being killed by the drug lords coming across the border.  Did you know that American's are being abducted for ransom and Arizona has the highest amount?   

 

I WISH that California would get on board and do the same thing that Arizona is doing.  I want my America back!!  If people want to immigrate to our country, then do it legally.  OUR ancestors did....and I know plenty of people who have gone thru the process of coming here legally and they get pretty resentful over the illegal's and the way they act as if they are entitled to things in OUR country.  Okay....I could go on....but you get how I feel about this!!
