Berry Pickin'

I had never been berry picking before, so therefor Davis had not either.  I figured I would take him Saturday afternoon, and then saw some friends were going on FB.  Ohh the power of social media.  We all met at Kruger farm for some fun.

Little Jo in her strawberry hat!

Looking good ladies!  Surprisingly it was sunny and warm. 

It started to rain once we got on the bridge to head home.

My kid may not look like me, but he is as picky as I was at his age. 

He didn't eat anything we picked, but enjoyed picking them.

The farm

Mateo and Davis are in the same class together at school, buddies!

They even sell naughty berries! Perfect for bachelorett parties! J/K!

New Eye Candy

Since I started using Google Reader awhile back, I haven't been that great about keeping my Eye Candy section updated.  I have added a few new blogs to my reader, one in particular that I'm enjoying is Swanky Tables.  Come to find out she is in Portland...holla!

I'll take you on a little journey of what I love about this blog

Fun cocktail recipes and ideas

Cuteness!

Who woulda thought to use candy necklaces as decorations?

OMG!- Lemon Merinque cupcakes!

Party ideas, no mom could ever not have enough of these.  This one is Under the Big Top! Look at the cute bags of popcorn!  Ohh and the cake is a merry go round.

Baseball birthday party! This would fit Davis perfectly...he is obsessed about baseball at the moment.  His first words to me yesterday morning when I got him up was "hey momma want to go hit some balls?"! Love it!  Notice the jars of candy and the cute printed bags for the kids to take home?  I think thats a great alternative to goody bags.  I also love the bags of peanuts (again). 

Cute girls birthday party idea! Love the jar of cookie mix!

Fun huh!

This weather is the pits! I'm feeling the need for some sun and warmth.  I feel like when it is sunny and warm we try to cram everything in as quickly as we can not knowing if its going to stay or go back to gloom....sad. 

I'm thinking a few randoms.. 

1.  B is in China, thats freakin far, how am I going to do this with 2 kids?! 

2.  I'm much more whimpier this time around.  I find myself going to bed at 8:30 and am still exhausted the next day.  Not to mention...I'm not cute right now folks! I have large dark circles under my eyes and for some reason my hair is hideous. 

3.  That poor little boy who is missing...seriously can you even imagine the heartache?!  

4.  Thinking its time to plan another trip away, this time just B and I before the baby comes.  Last time before we had Davis we went to Hawaii, B doesn't have that much time and we already went to Hawaii this year so I'm thinking SF, NY or ?? Got any good ideas?  NY is winning the race at the moment.  

5.  I should be sewing right now.

Picky Pleaser

I thought I'd pass on a stellar recipe.  I don't need to tell you that its easy, because afterall, thats my mantra.

My SIL shared this with me because...well...I have a picky eater on my hands.  So any way I can sneak some fruit or veggies into a meal secretly I'm all about it. 

Pumpkin Muffins

Here is the ingredients:

-  One box of white cake mix

- One can of puréed pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)

Mix the two together and bake at 350 until baked through and toothpick comes out clean.  I make them in mini muffins.  Perfect size for little hands and there is always enough to share with friends.

Now, I realize a cake mix may not be the healthiest, but lets face it the benefits of pumpkin outweigh it. 

Now...get busy and make some muffins.

What color are you?

I came across this on Inkspot Workshop, listed in my eye candy section.   Its pretty fun.  Visit here to play, but pop back over and tell me what color you are.

I like all of these, but fuschia and papaya are catching my eye.
