Tuesday’s Tidings for August 20, 2013

1. Last week we were on vacation. We took the kids for a hike to Multnomah Falls, went to our county fair, visited Enchanted Forest for Eden’s 5th birthday, threw a b-day party complete with a sleepover, and completed the girls My Little Pony collection from Build-a-Bear. It was a busy week filled with late nights, laughter, and new experiences. It was the best!

2. I don’t know about you ladies, but I have extremely sensitive skin. It dries out easily and I have to be very choosy with my razors when shaving. For the past few months I’ve been switching out different razors trying to find one I like. I was using a Schick razor that is blue ( I can’t remember the name) but it was driving my under arm skin crazy and I would just constantly itch the skin because I don’t think it was moisterized enough. I just bought the Venus Olay razor. Anybody use that and like it? I had a $4.00 off coupon, so I thought I would give it a whirl. What razors work for you ladies?

3. Christian turned 8 months old on Saturday and he is so so close to crawling! He gets his butt up, his feet are propped, but then he forgets to lift himself up on his arms! It’s pretty dang hilarious to watch!

4. I saw these cute little Ham and Cheese Pinwheels yesterday and I’m totally digging how awesome they are. I think these will make such an adorable and fun lunch one day for the girls!

5. Eden requested a S’more cake for her birthday. I ended up going with this Smore Poke Cake and it was beyond delicious! Of course, Eden ate like 4 bites, but oh well. It was super easy and such a fun cake! The only suggestion I have would be to not serve it outside in the summer. It likes to melt, lol!

6. Speaking of the birthday girl, I cannot believe she is FIVE years old!? When did that happen?????????

7. Not sure how many of you guys are doing back to school shopping, but I am completely envious of the kids clothes at Old Navy right now. The clothes I’m seeing for Grace are totally things I would buy for myself. I ended up buying Grace this dress and I’m kicking myself for not buying this cute coral cardi to go with it and I also want this cute jacket for her. Seriously, I need to remind myself that these clothes won’t fit me, but can I live vicariously through her?

8. Is it just me or is it getting cold at night? Brrr!

9. I promised myself that this summer I would clean out the garage. Summer is almost over and there sits my garage, still cluttered. Ugh!

10. I need to go live with Kevin and Amanda for a week because I am soooo drooling over this sandwich!
