MomandMyCrafts Sandwich Bags Giveaway

Posted in Reviews

MomandMyCrafts makes durable, well made reusable sandwich and snack bags.  We were thrilled when we were given the opportunity to test out one of the sandwich bags. We were pleasantly surprised by the cute, eco-friendly packaging.  The brown paper package was sewn and hand-stamped.  All parts of the packaging are eco-friendly and cute!  Needless to say, the first impression was a good one. The bag itself  is made from a black water and stain resistant, easy to clean rip stop nylon fabric.  The seams are completely finished so the crumbs don’t get stuck in the bag. You can rinse these…

Odd happenings in the desert…

Posted in Family, Photography, and Thoughts

Last night, the rain began to fall.  The soft pitter patter could be heard outside our window.  I love listening to the sound of rain, and that sound so often heard when we were on the East Coast is rarely heard here.  There is something soothing about falling asleep to that rhythmic sound. By the time we got up and around, the rain had stopped.  We took D to the airport and said the sad farewells.  Whether it’s a few days, a few weeks, or a few months, the goodbyes are never easy on Munchkin.  This time, he’s only gone…

Fun in the Sun: Soccer & Car Show

Posted in Family

Today, it was absolutely gorgeous outside. First thing this morning we headed to the field for Munchkin’s soccer game. The kids played really hard today, and that hard work payed off with the first win of the season. Munchkin was tired but thrilled. After the game, we headed home for an early lunch because we were headed out to a local car show ~ Midnight at the Oasis. This isn’t a little car show.  It’s absolutely HUGE.  There were four sections with rows and rows and rows of cars.  In D’s honor, I took quite of few pictures of car…
