It was 105 degrees today! What?! I was anticipating this and knew I had to go out today and run some errands so I figured Penelope and I would get up early and head out before the heat struck. We walked out the front door at 9am and I instantly started sweating. I am not kidding you! How do you people that have...

So I received the doggy bed from CSN Stores, I actually got it several days ago but was testing it out before writing my review. Before I go into my review I just want to say that CSN Stores is a great company to deal with. Having ordered from them in the past I have never had a problem and my items have always arrived...
I went grocery shopping on Monday and Albertsons had a really good deal on London Broil. $1.99 a pound! I got 2 huge pieces for around $5.00 each and today Chris grilled up one of them for dinner. We had Grilled London Broil, Steamed Broccoli, Garlic Bread and Boysenberries and Nectarines. Look at Penelope's plate, she enjoyed her dinner too. We didn't finish...
OK, I admit I really like Jack in the Box. I know not many people are fond of it but I am a sucker for their Grilled Sourdough Jack and Tacos. Mmm mmm greasy unhealthy goodness. :) Tonight for dinner we made our version of the Grilled Sourdough Jack and let me tell you not only did we make 3 burgers for the...
Tonight I made Chris Houston Chicken for dinner. I got the recipe here. I made the easier version and it came out really good. Chris said it's his second favorite dish next to "ketchup shrimp". "Ketchup shrimp" is a Japanese meal I make called Ebi no chiri so-su, he calls it that because there is ketchup in the recipe. Speaking of Japanese...this was Penelope's...
Penelope made P in the potty twice today! YAY! Both times she did it on her own without me having to tell. She is such a big girl! Penelope made P in the potty twice today! YAY! Both times she did it on her own without me having to tell. She is such a big girl! ...
Repeat of yesterday...I think from now on I will just post if we have a successful day. Oh, I am not giving up though. I am going to keep at it because I know Penelope is a smart little girl and she will get it. I just need to be patient. I received an email the other day from someone who had read my...
It's been awhile since I contributed to Muffin Tin Monday. So here it is... Top: Potato Chips, M& M's (these are part of her potty stash, oops), WaterBottom: Strawberries, Cold Cut Sandwich (her fave just like they make at subway but without the lettuce and olives), Apple chunks Nothing exciting, I just scoured the kitchen trying to find stuff. I need to go grocery...
So today I backed off "nagging" Penelope about using the potty and while she didn't have any accidents she also didn't use her potty. On the other hand today was the first day Kiwi didn't have an accidents in the house or get into Mr. Rats litter box. So because of that I am considering today a success. Wheee! So today I backed...
Today was a little better, she actually went in the potty. All day long I kept harassing her with "do you need to go potty?" and of course she didn't need to go until nap time. Then finally in the evening I left her alone while she played and went into my bedroom to do a couple of things and she runs in and says...
Today was another repeat of yesterday. She just won't go until she has that diaper on her at nap time. I am constantly reminding her, bribing her with stickers and making sure her sippy is full but nothing. I really need to go out and get her some big girl undies so she doesn't have to be semi nude all day. Maybe once...
Penelope didn't use the potty at all today! She had a wet diaper when she woke up this morning. When we left for My Gym I put a training pant on her and reminded her to let me know when she needed to go potty. She never mentioned it. Once home from My Gym I removed her diaper and to my surprise it was dry....
We were craving Wing Stop fries today, OK I was craving Wing Stop fries Penelope wanted "cheeese mommy". Have you ever had Wing Stop fries? They are sooo good and sooo addictive. I am pretty sure they put sugar on them. So instead of going out and spending money I made my own version of Wing Stop fries with sugar on them. Hey,...
Penelope went in the potty twice today! She went this morning and then again this evening. I've noticed that the times she has gone are the times I have left her alone and stopped bugging he with "do you need to go potty?". Must be that independent thing she has going right now. She doesn't want any help with anything, "I do it mommy". I am...
Today didn't go as good as yesterday. Penelope didn't go all morning again and I put a diaper on her around 1:30 for her nap. When she woke up of course she had went 1 and 2 in her diaper. a couple hours later she had a little accident on the living room floor, good thing we have tile. After that she kept...
