This Land's End tote bag. It's cute, it's durable, and has hidden pockets. the medium sized one has become my go-to pool bag this summer. I could use a dozen more in all the different sizes and never get sick of it.
The Cho Show. Many, many moons before I was a mother I watched a Margaret Cho video with one of my BFFs. We actually had to stop the DVD more than once because we were laughing so hard we missed more funny parts. And no, it wasn't the Mary-Jane talking either. The Cho is funny. Like pee in your pants funny. I'm not sure I have the bladder control for a full length Cho DVD now, so I'll settle for the 30-minute Cho Show. Maybe I'll practice those Kegel exercises while I watch.
The Nut Tree Family Park. We stopped over on our way home from Sacramento and fell in love with this little park. It's perfect for the 9 and under crowd. The train ride, mini-roller coaster, and bumper cars kept my son and my 8 yr old niece occupied for hours. The best part? The kids passed out from exhaustion for the 2-hr ride home. With it's affordable price, this will become THE place we stop everytime we visit our Sacramento family.
Dad's House Mojitos. Okay, for the record I'm not much of a Mojito gal. I'm not a fan of swallowing big chunks of mint. But when Smiling Mom decided to try out the recipe at a recent play date, I was open. Now she did have to add an extra splash of club soda to make the drink a little less strong (we were watching kids after all), but the drink was refreshing, tart, and yummy. I think I'm a converted mojito-lover.
