Grocery Shopping with my kids

I have to admit having 3 kids under the age of 5, grocery shopping is a nightmare. The kids ru through aisles, and do not listen. Lately though I have been challenging my daughter on her preschool knowledge, by asking her what shapes,colors and even characters are on some of the packaging.  I do have a hard time with navigating my kids away from certain things in the aisles, like candy, ice cream, the junk.  I just have been trying to avoid those aisles as much as i can.    My kids do ask for some good foods, mainly because they have characters. like campbell soup with princess’s, or veggies with Dora or sesame street on it. The problem with those is i buy them and then they don’t like it. The new Looney tunes foods, they do like. their favorite is the grapes with Tweety Bird on them.

Where The Heart Of My Home Is

 Samsung_73x73

My familys always seperated, between school, jobs, housework, errands. The one place we always seem to find ourselves together is the dining room. We always gather together for dinner, and talk about our days. We laugh, tell jokes everything. The other place we usually gather is the living area, but thats only when a Atlanta Braves game is on.  I do cherish the moments i get to spend with my family, because it seems that it doesn’t happen to often.

I received a coupon for a free ballon time product.  I could only find a 30 balloon tank, so thats what i chose.  The whole free copon thing was a bit confusing, even though i got it free i still paid $1.73 in taxes.    I had a little trouble turning the knob to release the helium so i had to use a wrench. It’s very simple to use and a lot of fun, the kit comes with a tank, balloons, and string.   My kids have been having so much fun playing with the Balloons i’ve made.  The downside is the Balloons don’t seem to float longer than one day.
