(a ton)<br /><br />I know, my girls are pretty blessed to have all the things they have. You can bet I tell them that too!! haha!<br /><br />We get the cheapie paper plates, so it's totally worth it to me and I don't feel guilty about it (too much anyway!) <br /><br />Yep..I saw the east was getting it so I'm sure next week, we will have it!

Oh, I agree about the date nights, now that we have older kids we can do it, we usually do a date afternoon, or early dinner kind of thing, and we've never been gone too long, only maybe an hour and a half...we love it though. I love going on errands with my husband too. <br /><br />With that dream house, I want to play Barbies too!! hahah!Jamie Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678469484585027738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-8679442162619850592014-02-28T14:43:20.396-06:002014-02-28T14:43:20.396-06:00I don't like the one by me for several reasons...I don't like the one by me for several reasons, the layout of the store (sucks), they are not as big, and run out of things quicker, they don't have as much selection, the people that work there are mostly young people and do not know anything in the way of helping...or bagging...It's OK for quick things we run out of, like bananas and fruit or whatever, but otherwise, the store by you is memorized, I make my list in the order of the store...I can find things quicker and I pick my favorite cashiers to go to! <br /><br />Jamie Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678469484585027738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-85075607737073540242014-02-28T14:35:32.378-06:002014-02-28T14:35:32.378-06:00Why my Wal-Mart??

I think winter looks best after a storm....So sweet. I think winter looks best after a storm. It's the cloudy days and those when the snow is all yucky that get to me. But fresh snow, even after a looong winter, stirs a new start feeling in my heart. With that said, I am ready for spring!<br /><br />The doll house, the cruise ship, the easy bake oven, the beads! I would have been in heaven as a girl at your house.<br /><br />I always used Nestle's recipe too. Yum.<br /><br />I'm so happy you had a date night. Your dinner looks fabulous.<br /><br />I'll have to remember the plastic knife trick. I hate when chunks come out when I try to cut them (or... not, as I like to eat those chunks).<br /><br />And paper plates. I used to hate using them (more trash and all) but now I save them for bad health stretches to minimize dishes. Of course, having a dishwasher again helps tremendously in that department. I still prefer to use real plates if I can though. Part of me can't stand the waste - of resources and money in the long run.<br /><br />Have a good weekend! I'm sure you're in the path of another snow blast just as we are if the weather map is true. In like a lion, out like a lamb. Let's hope. :)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14120865033676075065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-36108939189423037942014-02-27T21:25:08.619-06:002014-02-27T21:25:08.619-06:00oops!

I cut my brownies with plastic knives as well - a tip I came across a few years back and it really does work! Oohhhh - date nights! Love these whenever and wherever we can fit them in. Totally different world for us now that we have children old enough to babysit for us! And my favorite part of your post - that your girls still play with Barbies!

They like mighty fine to me and I bet she could sleep in them if you let her ;) The deals...awesome! Doesn't that make you feel like you just beat the system when you walk out the door with those kinds of deals? I never knew that about the plastic knife. NEVER. That's awesome to know. We use paper whenever the dish washer needs to be empty and we don't have time, or if all the plates are dirty. I keep a steady supply in the pantry. I now have that Steve Winwood song in my mind. I love that song!
