Sea Monkeys: Cute Or Creepy?
February 21, 2012 By 5 Comments
So I thought it would be fun to give my son Sea Monkeys.
We followed the instructions and waited a couple weeks for these Sea Monkeys to hatch. We then gave up after not seeing anything, but I didn’t throw it away. I left it sitting in the window in the kitchen and one day I seen something moving. I was like no way and looked closer. To my surprise there were little things moving around, the Sea Monkeys had hatched. It has been a few weeks and we have fed them once and they are BREEDING.
At first I thought they were cute, but now I think they are starting to creep me out. They look like they are growing more and more body parts, like EYES.
To think these came out of a package!
So now what do I do with them?
Our Trip To Disney On Ice: Toy Story 3
February 17, 2012 By 2 Comments
Last night was a fun night for my two youngest. We had the opportunity to watch Disney On Ice: Toy Story 3 that is currently showing at the Power Balance Pavilion in Sacramento, CA. This wasn’t our first Disney On Ice event, but it was definitely one of our favorites.
Toy Story 3, the Academy Award®-winning smash hit blockbuster, is so hot it’s cool as everyone’s favorite toys take to the ice in Disney On Ice presents Disney•Pixar’s Toy Story 3! An accomplished creative team and a cast of world-class skaters are bringing Woody, the pull-string cowboy; space ranger Buzz Lightyear; Jessie, the yodeling cowgirl; and the rest of the Toy Story gang to fans and families around the country in this all-new, high-energy ice spectacular.
While we were at Disney On Ice last night, we seen some of the Toy Story characters you might recognize below:
While we love the Toy Story characters, it was really fun to see some new faces join the fun that include Barbie’s groovy bachelor Ken and Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear. Since I was a little girl who once LOVED playing with Barbies and have three daughters who have all played with Barbies, it was fun to watch the Barbie + Ken scenes.
We had a blast last night and can’t wait for the next Disney On Ice event to come to Sacramento. If you are a Disney fan, be sure to see if Disney On Ice is coming to your town.
The Disney On Ice: Toy Story 3 will be showing in Sacramento until February 20, 2012. To discover more about Disney On Ice, go to www.DisneyOnIce.com. To purchase tickets online, visit: www.Ticketmaster.com
Disclosure – I received tickets to attend this Disney event with my family in exchange for this post. These opinions expressed are my own opinions and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation.
Clipix – A Neat Way To Organize Your Bookmarks + More
February 16, 2012 By 7 Comments
I have a bad habit of bookmarking websites and letting my bookmarks pile up. My bookmarks can really et unorganized because I like to bookmark. Sometimes I will bookmark in a rush and if the website owner doesn’t have the title correctly put on the page I am bookmarking, whatever my browser thinks the title is, will be the name of that website in my bookmarks.
For those sites that have pages called “Untitled”, I probably won’t be finding you very soon in my bookmarks.
I have now found a neat way to organize my bookmarks where I have a visual instead of a description. I have signed up with clipix and just started to bookmark and organize my recipes along with recipes that I have bookmarked that I want to make.
Here is a screenshot of what my Clipix “My Recipes” Clipboard looks like.
With Clipix, you put a little bookmarker on your browser’s toolbar, then when you are on a page you want to bookmark, you click the bookmarker and it will popup with a box to add your bookmark. Here is what it looks like to bookmark with Clipix.
. 
Like I mentioned before, I am using this site to keep track of my bookmark for recipes. With a visual bookmark for my food recipes, it is going to be easy to find what I need when I am ready to get cooking. Here are some other ideas for bookmarking you might want to use:
- Crafts you want to try
- Vacation ideas
- Gift ideas
- Products you want to buy
- Recipes that you have made or want to try

Last Minute Valentines Day Idea – Pillsbury Ready to Bake! Shape Cookies + Giveaway
February 14, 2012 By 107 Comments
Looking for something to make the kids today for a treat they will enjoy?
I made these CUTE Pillsbury Ready To Bake Valentine Shape Sugar Cookies that were a HUGE hit with the kids, especially Miss Hannah.
Luckily I was able to try one these cookies when they first came out of the oven because they went fast.
While I enjoy baking things from scratch, I also like to make pre-packaged foods on occasion because sometimes I like to keep it simple and easy. With these cookies, I didn’t have to get out my mixer and make a mess in the kitchen.
The Pillsbury Ready To Bake! Shape Cookies are quick and ready to enjoy in only 8 to 10 minutes. I chose these cute Disney Princess cookies, but there are other varieties including the Disney character’s Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Hearts, Shamrock, Easter shapes and more!
If you have young cooks at home, this might be something you can buy for them that they can bake for themselves and be proud with the results. I am wanting to buy more the next time I go grocery shopping.
