I Ate All The Chocolate Philly...


Um.. when I was asked to review Chocolate Philly, I was stoked.  Everyone knows how I love to eat.


  


So I went to the store and read the label and with Chocolate Philly, you get the dairy goodness of Philly plus the deliciousness of pure milk chocolate – with half the sugar and calories (per 1 tbsp. serving) of the other guys.

SCORE.

And, I hate to admit this, but as soon as I got home from the store, I didn't even put any of the groceries away, I just tore into the Chocolate Philly.

After the first bite, I made such an erotic sounding noise that I am sure the neighbours heard me. Pure delight. It's like an expensive dessert, but in a tub in your hand.

Seriously, I wanted to rub it all over my entire body and let the neighbourhood enjoy.

Did I just say that?

Sorry.

No, I'm not.

And then this happened....



Yes. 

That is an almost empty container.  

I just couldn't quit eating it.  

Honestly, its super embarrassing.

At this point, I felt guilty and threw it on a wrap with banana slices. It was sooooo good.  But, I do feel bad that ate the entire thing without sharing with my family. My plan is too wash the container as soon as possible, so no one in this house (Zed) will find out about what I did until recycling day on Saturday.





They are doing a fun little contesty gamey thingy on their Philly Facebook Page. It's a way of shaming your loved ones into making your breakfast in bed.

And you know there is nothing better than publicly shaming the ones you love. Sign me up.

Plus, while you are there, you my as well "like" their page, because in on May 21st, Chocolate Philly will roll out a coupon that can be downloaded from the Philly Facebook page.


Sorry, gotta run, I have a foil lid to lick.

Super Duper Impressed....

If you have been looking for me I have been doing some writing all over the place!

I talk about my regrets over at BLUNTmom's.

I talk about leaving my comfort zone over at Blissdom Canada 2013.

And I was published at the Yummy Mummy Club with my blog post, B-A-D Words.

Plus, I shaved my legs.

I know.

Now, you are super duper impressed.

Beep, Beep, Beep...


I'm not sure if I tell you enough about Baby Bot, so here goes...

He is the sweetest, kindest and most loving little boy on the planet. I just cannot get enough of him.

Until a few days ago.

We were at our local library for Story Time.  And my sweetest, kindest and most loving little boy on the planet did not want to sit with the other kids because he is a little bit shy and likes to cuddle with his, "Momma".

During one of the songs, I set him down in hope that he might want to dance along with the other children.  He quickly turned around and buried his head in my lap.

Awww.... shy little love.

He then proceeded to lift up my shirt to "see belly button".

"No thank you," I said.  "Mommy doesn't like that."

Then he reached up his little two year old hands and started pushing my breasts and saying, "Beep, Beep, Beep", as if my breasts were horns. 

Horns.

I'll tell you who has horns.  

You do, Baby Bot.  

You might just be turning into the devil.

Walmart Frugal Heroes

I love a good deal.

Who doesn't?

I'm pretty sure even George Clooney is stoked when he gets something half price. Gosh knows that Lindsay Lohan is.

Any who...

Nothing makes me "high as a kite" than a $4 off diaper coupon.  But, I usually forget to use them before the expiry date. Which is a huge buzz kill.

I don't even want to show you the date on the tub of sour cream in our fridge.

Shiver.


That is why when I was chosen to be part of Walmart Frugal Heroes Challenge. I knew it was something I could handle and complete before the day was done.



Walmart gave me a list of challenges that I could complete or create my own.  I really wanted to do a room make over for my Baby Bot's room, but the stress of actually having to take down his crib, put him in a big boy bed and paint was giving me an anxiety attack and also making me want to have another baby, so I dumped that idea right there in Walmart.

I decided that I would use my $100 to get myself ready to hit the beach this summer.  But once I got shopping I realized that I could get myself ready to hit the beach for under $50. I still had an extra $50!   So, I changed my mind again and decided to get the ENTIRE family ready to hit the beach this summer!



Slip on beach shoes for a family of four for $23!


Swim suits and hats for the kids for $15!


Trunks for Zed and a swim suit and cover up for me for $48!

Yes, I was surprised that I could get that much for under $100.  And want to know the best part?  I bought Zed the wrong sized sandals and was able to return them lickity split.  Next time, I am going to re do Baby Bot's room and try not to have an anxiety attack in the bedding aisle at my local Walmart.

My First Blog And Boob Video....


So I am supposed to be out shopping for Walmart Frugal Heroes, but I wanted to give Vlogging a try instead. I know for some of you this is the first time you have ever seen my chubby little face. 

But, you also end up getting a really cheap look at my breasts.

Seriously. Can nothing ever go my way?!

Inhale.

Exhale.

It's only 2 minutes long so its not a huge commitment for you. 

Here goes.....

Movie Review: Koala Kid....




My kids love kids t.v. Like, love, love, love, love, love kids t.v.  If I let them, they would watch kids t.v all day. Seriously.  They just cannot get enough of it.

I think its in their genes. Seriously.  When I was waiting for Whirlwind to arrive on my mat leave,  all I pretty much did was watch Gilmore Girls. 



I love that t.v show. Like, love, love, love, love, love that show.  If I could, I would watch that television show all day. Seriously.  I just cannot get enough of it.

Whoa.

Freaky.

Any who....

Even though my kids love watching kid t.v shows, movie watching is pretty much a disaster at our home. 

Does this happen to anyone else?

My kids don't have the attention span for it.  They usually do really well until something scary happens and in this case there is scary crocodile named Bog.

Don't get me wrong, they were scared, I wasn't. I can handle a cartoon crocodile.  And really, he wasn't scary.  

At all. 

But, my daughter can be a tad dramatic  I think she pulls that routine for the cuddle.  And I happily accept "the cheap cuddle".







So this is what the Big Kahuna's want me to tell you about the movie....

Koala Kid
Journey down under and meet a whole new breed of hero in this laugh-filled, action-packed animated adventure with an all-star voice cast, including Rob Schneider, Tim Curry and Alan Cumming. Johnny (Schneider) is a rare white koala bear who just wants to fit in and make friends. But when a twist of fate mistakenly transforms him into a fearless protector of animals, called “Koala Kid,” Johnny finds himself in over his head on a thrilling trek across the outback. With help from his hilarious new sidekicks, including a crafty Tasmanian devil, a lovable lizard and a boomerang-flinging female koala, Johnny may just outwit a villainous crocodile named Bog (Cumming) and become a true hero after all.

And if you want to get it and I think you should, it came out yesterday and don't run all over town looking for it just go to Walmart because that is where its exclusively available.


Disclaimer:  I received only copy of  "Koala Kid"  for the purpose of this review.  No cash'ola  The above opinions are my own.
