Mommy's Little Helper


Do you ever have one of those nights that you just wish you were without kids again? Well this was one of those nights. I have to say, I prefer the Topo Chico to the sugar filled or diet tonic waters.

Flavor Tripping Party with The Berry Fairy








Flavor Tripping Party with The Berry Fairy

WHAT: The Berry Fairy is bringing Miracle Berry Flavor Tripping to Austin, TX.
A portion of the event’s proceeds will be donated to the local charity We
Are Learning.

Miracle berries are a native West African fruit that have an extraordinary
effect when consumed. The "miracle" is that everything sour and bitter
eaten afterwards will taste sweet for up to 2 hours. Lemons will taste like
lemonade, vinegar like apple juice, goat cheese like cream cheese
frosting, and stout beers like chocolate milk!

Admission includes one miracle berry and a bacchanalian banquet of
foods specially selected for the flavor tripping. Tito’s Vodka will be
sponsoring a mad-mixologist vodka bar for guests to create their own
taste-defying tonics.

WHEN: Wednesday, July 29, 2009 from 6:00-8:00pm.

WHERE: The Belmont, 305 West 6th Street Austin, TX 78701. For more information
about The Belmont, please visit http://www.thebelmontaustin.com/

COST: $40. Tickets will be available online through Paypal at
www.theberryfairy.com. The event is expected to sell out.

What's in my fridge?


For some reason, I'm thinking this might help me plan my next menu. Maybe not.

Why I love the Laptop Lunchbox System


I have to say, the main reason I love this system for lunches is because I can take one container and fill it with leftovers (such as carrots that were cut the day before, left over mac and cheese, etc) and throw it in the fridge until I've decided what to fill all 4 cups with. It definitely saves time and waste at our house!

Ode to my 2 Favorite Items




Need I say more? Nutella and Raw Agave Nectar. If they weren't in my life, I'd be a depressed woman.
