Solve your frozen food problems with T.G.I. FRiDAY’S “Entrées for One!

This post brought to you by T.G.I. FRiDAY'S . All opinions are 100% mine. I hate to admit it, but my hubby doesn't  ALWAYS get home cooked meals as often as he would like.  Luckily for me, he is the understanding sort!  I work full time, as does he - so he knows that after a tough day at the office sometimes dinner consists of a frozen meal.  Now don't feel sorry for us because not all frozen meals taste like "frozen meals".   Luckily for him (OK, luckily for ME) the new line of T.G.I. FRiDAY’S “Entrées for One”  solves frozen food boredom. Choices are key when trying to feed my guy! There are nine new entrées inspired by the T.G.I. FRiDAY’S restaurants. They include items like Sizzling Steak Fajitas to Cajun-Style Chicken Alfredo.  Since they are individual portions we can each have what we want!  We tried the Prime Rib Stroganoff. Hubby enjoyed it.  Whew. Next up we'll probably try the Fajitas! Visit T.G.I. FRiDAY'S on facebook for their  Fun Freeze

Will a celebration be in order?

Working Mom: 1 Year Anniversary

Today is my one year anniversary for returning back to work after having our first baby.  I had three wonderful months as a stay at home mom.  Naturally, it was a transition coming back.  Pumping during my breaks left me longing to hold our baby.  I do not have regrets for reentering the workforce.  I like the feeling that I am contributing to our family's household finances.  Hubby & I both share the responsibilities of work and home life.  Trust me, my husband has changed just as many diapers as I have! He has definitely picked more BOOGERS and sucked up more SNOT (with an aspirator) than I have!  Hubby as Daddy is really cute! I can honestly say that as far as raising our baby, we have been equals (or as equal as we CAN be).  With the exception of breastfeeding, my husband has done as much as I have in relation to child rearing.  I am still one up on him though as far as incubating, body morphing, labor, and delivery!  As our family's needs change so may my work situa

Power Outage September 8, 2011

Here is the notification email that we received from our energy provider regarding a recent power outage. Initial television reports (as relayed to me by my husband) stated that the outage could extend 2 to 3 days. We did have emergency items on hand including non-perishable food and water.  Are you prepared should you need to activate your personal family emergency plan? Thankfully power was restored before daybreak! Dear Customer: At this time, San Diego and southern Orange counties are without power. For now, we don’t know the exact cause of the outage and our crews are working as quickly and safely as possible to restore power. The outage could last into tomorrow as we bring the system up gradually to full power. The outage started at 3:38 p.m. today and caused a widespread transmission issue on the grid that serves Western Arizona and Southern California. You should activate your personal family emergency plan. Some safety tips to keep in mind during this time:

More Mommy Moments

Another kiddo moment...Our son is talking a bit now and today at Church whenever it grew quiet (after music would stop, etc) he found it necessary to announce "No More" in his biggest little voice.  When daddy would sit he would grab daddy by the neck and while trying to lift his dad would demand "UP".  Well...at least he doesn't cry or throw a fit during Mass... We sit with the general congregation NOT in the "cry" room.  We are always mindful to walk him out if he becomes fussy. Luckily - that rarely happens. I think it helps that he is familiar  as we have been taking him since he was only a few days old and consistently over the past 14 months.  I have a feeling though that it might become more difficult as he gets a bit older.  I hope that we don't exiled into the cry room...
