When Your Kids Need More

My small humans are picky. Not just in the traditional, "I don't like brussel sprouts!" way...
No, they're "sophisticated picky."

 There are brands of foods and drinks they don't like. 
There are colors of brands they do like..... that they don't like...
There are flavors, and textures, and seasons of the year....

 Before you ask... only one of them has slight sensory issues. They're just both a little too much like their mother ;)

 So when I received this free sample of L'il Critters Gummy Vites, I was worried they were going to be a waste of time. I applied to try them out, hoping we'd find an option that my kids would not only love, but that would genuinely be good for them.

"Mom, we're getting ready for school. Just let us take our vitamins and go!"
"Just smile like you actually care about my feelings, okay?!"
- real conversation that happened just this morning...

Turns out, my kids actually really love these ones! All of them! I didn't have to fish out only the yellow ones..... or "anything BUT the yellow ones!"
It has been amazing!

And what's better?
I approve of these ones! The list of vitamins is "complete" in my eyes. Technically to be a "complete" vitamin, you're supposed to have iron. I like the fact that there is NO iron in these gummy vitamins. 

Okay, back story. 
See that handsome little man up there? When he was 2 he decided to King Kong his butt all the way up my tall dresser, grabbed his bottle of gummy vitamins, SOMEHOW MANAGED TO OPEN THE BOTTLE, and ate at least 20 of them.

I. Had. A. Panic. Attack.

I called the local nurses line, and the first thing she asked me was to check the bottle and tell her if there was iron in the vitamins. Thankfully, there was no iron. So instead of a rushed trip to the ER, I had an INSANELY overactive 2 year old for a couple days. He didn't sleep much those two days, and then slept like he was hibernating for two days after that!

Needless to say, I've checked every bottle of vitamins since then. If there's iron, they don't come in the house. Simple as that.


These L'il Critters Gummy Vites are great! And I'm glad we were able to find a kids gummy vitamin that we'll be able to stick with!

When You Want Some Easy Comfort Food...

Imagine, it's Sunday morning. Last week was rough, and you could use a simple dinner idea that everyone will love. Queue Chile Verde. It's simple, and delicious. And my recipe isn't necessarily the traditional way to make it, but amazing nonetheless! Here's what you'll need: 2 lb. pork loin roast, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes 1 - 16oz. jar salsa verde (we used Pace, but you can use any brand you trust!) 1 - 7oz. can diced green chiles (we used store brand for this one) 3 lg. red potatoes, cut into 1 inch cubes (Russets also work well with this meal, so use what you have or looks good at the store this week!) 1 tbsp. minced garlic (if you want to mince it yourself, it's about 3 cloves fresh garlic) 1/4 tsp. ground cumin 1 tsp. dried oregano 1/2 tsp. garlic powder Salt & Pepper, to taste Steps! (Some of which have photos!) Wash and cube your potatoes. You want each piece to be about 1 to 1 1/2 inches. Toss 'em in the crock pot. I...

Guess Who's Back... Back Again... Geek Is Back... Tell a Friend. No, seriously... tell everyone!

Y'all, I got to take a pretty insane vacation last week! One of my best friends and I embarked on a 30-effing-hour drive from Las Vegas to Biloxi, Mississippi to visit another best friend of ours (think of us as The Trio of Unending Shenanigans!) The Trio had a blast! Vietnamese food, good ol' fashioned southern BBQ, BOBA! Can you tell food played an important part in this trip?! We also went to the beach. The Gulf of Mexico is just as beautiful as I remembered it! Yeh, sure... when you're on the shoreline and there are barrier islands 2 miles out the water is murky.... but you get away from those barrier islands, and the water is this GORGEOUS pristine blue. Oh, y'all.... I'm pining to go back already! But then.... The 30-hellish-hour drive home. My company was phenomenal, the conversations was lively AF! We may even create a YouTube channel dedicated to the stupidly hilarious things that were coming out of our sleep deprived minds! And the dread. I wa...
