Camera Bag

I was so thrilled when I heard my door bell ring this afternoon and the postman had my package from Jo-Totes.  I had to do a quick post ... I've just finished packing it and it's ready to go with  me once I'm feeling better.

Ain't she PUUUURRRTTTY?

I hope to be ordering one of their other popular styles once they come in stock.  Now I have no excuse to take my baby with me.

Sick Days {Simple Things Sunday}

What a Sunday it's been so far .... made it too bed way too early this morning (no, i didn't sleep last night) and woke up 2 hours later to a sick little person.  I managed to sneak in a 1/2 hour nap right after lunch only to find my little guy with a  high fever.  Not much of a Sunday here for us so far, I hope that I don't catch anything from my kiddo.  

One of the best things that has totally saved the day has been our iPad.  I inherited my husband's old iPad which now belongs to the family and keeps long trips pleasant for everyone all around.  Today I would say The Muppet Show Movie has been played about 3 times ... hey, whatever works.  Kept the little one from wandering around the house trying to play going up and down the stairs and over heating.  

This has to be my favorite moment of the day ...  holding hands with daddy and snuggling with Kermit seemed to make things all better.

It's Sunday so don't forget to visit Simple As That by clicking here to see what everyone else has been up to on this Sunday.  Rebecca is also doing a giveaway ....   

Hope your day has been a lot more exciting and illness-free than mine.

Trying New Things

I cannot believe I've never EVER had this yummy little vegetable dish in my life!

This Sunday I decided to change up my vegetable side dish from my usual same 'ole boring carrots, asparagus, broccoli, string beans, or cauliflower and try brussels sprouts.  Oh my!  I searched online to find the best, tastiest way to prepare this mini cabbage and found that roasting it was a big hit by many online.

We loved them.  A little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper, stick it in the oven for 30 minutes at 400 degrees and VOILA!
