Girls Night Out

Last friday while father and son went to the theatre to watch the new Hulk movie, little Amy and I had our first real Girls night out. She is so darn cute! We tried out Platinum Salon on Tv Hwy and had pedicures and manicures together. She was thrilled and felt very "grown up", spending the rest of the evening walking proudly and holding her hands just right for everyone to see her pretty nails.

My Superwoman

You ladies know who you are. My dear girlfriends who amaze me daily with their strength to stand tall and proud and beautiful no matter what tests life throw at you. My inspirations.

Its not nice to eat DINASOURS!

I think the video needs little introduction...we took a trip to see the dinasour exhibit at the zoo and our youngest was very concerned about the display of a dinasour being eaten.....its just not nice to eat people, didn't you know?

Amy's trike a thon

Trinity Lutheran Preschool held their annual St Jude trike a thon this past week. This is one of our favorite events of the school year, all of the kids collect pledges from their family and friends and then ride laps on their bikes or scooters to raise money for St Jude Hospital. They always of lots of fun...especially with the ice cream and bouncy house that comes afterwards!

Ninja Nicolas

Nicolas is a member of Ernie Reyes West Coast Martial Arts little Dragons program. This past week he tested for his gold stripe belt. We are so proud of his enthusiasm and hard work and thrilled with the self confidence and pride he has gained.

Here is a fun little video from his test.

I want to know your healthy food finds!

First, Skinny Cow Fudge bars. Of all the health concious ice cream I have tried this is by far the very best low cal fudge bar ever! It is rich and creamy, with a great flavor...if i hadn't read the box I would never have geussed they have only 100 cal, 1 gram of fat and get this..4 grams of fiber! (my question is how do the get fiber into ice cream?) However they do it this is my greatest guilt free chocolate craving fix ever!


The second are the amazing whole grain Flat Out tortillas that my friend Mel told me about. These taste absolutely amazing, are very filling and have 9grams of fiber per tortilla. I am eating these almost everyday -with a little laughing cow cheese, some roast beef, or wrapped around some sauteed zucchini....even rolled up with my dinner in place of a roll. I hear that they even come in flavors but I have yet to find these yet.

Now i need to hear about everyones favorite "health concious" or just plain yummy food finds. Post a comment or email me mamimegan@hotmail.com with your food find and I can't wait to try some yummy new things... then I'll write a new post with what I've learned.

Amy gets creative

I admit, it was proboably boredom that drove my 4 year old to "borrow" my camera and document the house. The 5 year old is home sick today and being a momma's boy. So here is what Amy did with her morning....I acctually think it is pretty artistic, and an interesting look into how the world looks from her perspective...I am off now to channel that creativity into a more productive outlet...
