Wednesday Blog Hops!

Welcome fellow blog hoppers. My name is Holly and I am the stay-at-home-mom to one beautiful little girl (who around here I call AJ for short). This blog is a journey of sorts - I like to share my progress in my Day Zero Project, share ideas for family togetherness in my series Fall Family Challenge, bounce recipe ideas off of my readers, and blog about my personal life as a 20 something mom in Virginia. There's also plenty of reviews and giveaways along the way! I hope you'll follow me! Please leave me a comment letting me know that you stopped by so that I can do the same. Thanks!

Funny & Creative Elf on the Shelf Ideas

Image
Wow! In the last year the Elf on the Shelf's popularity has sky-rocketed across the US. Santa is sending out elves left and right to keep an eye after all the little boys and girls and make sure they are good this holiday season.

We were so pleased to give away an Elf on the Shelf to a lucky Holly at Nap Time reader earlier this holiday season. I really wish that I had 400+ elves to give away to all those who entered, but if you don't already have an elf, I can assure you that the $30 is a great investment. To learn more about Elf on the Shelf, click here.

My daughter is only two years old, and this is our first year with our Elf, Sam, so his hiding spots and antics are pretty obvious and don't really tell much of a story. My friends with older kids, however, are getting pretty creative, and moms all over are sharing their ideas on Pinterest, which begs the question: Is Elf on the Shelf more fun for children or parents?

I'll leave that up for you to decide. Some of t…

Hey, Nick Jr. - Where's The Fresh Beat Band Merchandise?

Image
ADDITION 1/13/12 - I found a similar jacket to the ones everyone has been purchasing from KMart (that are currently sold out online) from Amazon.com. It's a little pricier at $64, but I'm guessing it's also of a higher quality as it's actually meant for outerwear. Click the picture below for more information. Available in GIRLS sizes 4, 5/6 and 6X.

Another option for a baseline rock star jacket has been spotted at CWDkids.com. This jacket is currently on sale for $39 (regular $64) and is ONLY available in Size 4, so if you want one you'd better hurry! Click here for more information.

The jacket that has been selling at KMart (click here for details) is temporarily unavailable online, but you may be able to find it in your local store. I'll post as soon as I see it up again.

There is a comment to this post about a person who is making the jackets for the hefty price of $80 also. Too much for my tastes, but if you have the money, go for it!

Cinnamon Toast Crunch vs Organic Graham Crunch

Image
We usually don't let our kids pick out cereal. Period.

Usually, our cereal purchasing follows two criteria.

It's available in the Costco cereal aisle. It's something either Cheerios or Kashi branded.  So this Saturday during our weekly trip to the store, it was a big deal that my husband said the kids could pick their cereal. They pointed to the shelf, and my husband picked up the Organic Graham Crunch by Cascadian Farm. 
Big mistake! Within 1.3 seconds there were real, physical salty wet tears streaming down my children's faces. 
"NOT THAT ONE!!" 
Their little fingers were pointing towards the tried and true Cinnamon Toast Crunch. 
At least point I'm pretty sure we had already reached our limit of two meltdowns per Costco  trip. We've learned to choose our battles. 
Let's get them both! We will see which one we like the best. 
And that is how, while my husband was sick and we had no plans this weekend, we decided to have a blind taste test between…
