Music that we both like!
Cedarmont Kids music.
We have about 6 of these CDs. It is kids singing but they have great voices so it is tolerable for me. They are a bargain, too.

My son who is almost 3 loves these CDs. He learns the words very quickly and these are good songs.
I like hearing songs that I sang as a kid and haven't heard for years.

Yummy!
I finally made it to Cold Stone Creamery tonight. I had a Black Forest with sweet cream instead of chocolate. Very yummy. I gave a little to my baby and he went nuts for it. (his very first taste of...
I finally made it to Cold Stone Creamery tonight. I had a Black Forest with sweet cream instead of chocolate. Very yummy. I gave a little to my baby and he went nuts for it. (his very first taste of ice cream - only the best for him!)
I got the medium size but I would've been happy with the small one.
We were surprised that there was no line up. Monday night on a holiday weekend is probably the reason.

We used to live close to Whole Foods and it was fun to have a cheap summer supper out. I love the quinoa salad and other treats from the salad bar. Some good soups, too. Yummy free samples from the bakery.
The other reviewer that said "whole paycheque" was right, though. No bargains, here.

Bad macaroni at the Macaroni Grill

We had been meaning to try out the Macaroni Grill for a while. My son had been asking for "macanoni."
We were quite disappointed. A long wait, EXTREMELY loud - bad acoustics, I think; plus the macaroni was terrible! What's with that? Our meals were actually pretty yummy but my toddler's macaroni tasted like Kraft Mac & Cheese! I could make something much tastier myself at home.
My son did like being able to write on the table - each one is covered in white paper. My husband and I ended up writing notes to each other on the table since we couldn't hear each other over the noise!
NOTE: I think it was Mother's Day when we visited so that may explain the noise/crowd.

Healthy, cheap supper
We are regulars at Panera Bread. We like the fresh bread, sandwiches and soups. We also like not having to tip. You order your food, get a pager and then pick it up when it's ready. (My toddler...
We are regulars at Panera Bread. We like the fresh bread, sandwiches and soups. We also like not having to tip. You order your food, get a pager and then pick it up when it's ready. (My toddler thinks the pager is scary but my baby loves it).
Good selection of drinks. I haven't tried any of the desserts except the choc. chip cookie.
We've never had to wait very long, either, which is a big plus in Lynnwood.

Good prices but dirty environment
I was searching for another produce market (hopefully in Lynnwood) because I'm fed up with Safeway and Albertson's prices for produce.

I was searching for another produce market (hopefully in Lynnwood) because I'm fed up with Safeway and Albertson's prices for produce.
So, I tried out Star Fruit today. I found most of what I needed and the prices were good, however, I was very turned off by all the garbage in the parking lot and sidewalks out front. Businesses need to be aware of the entire environment. Clean it up!
I was hoping for better.

Beautiful place to go on a sunny day

On the recommendation of a friend, the family made a trek to Flower World today. Fun place. Huge pond with ducks, geese and chicken running around. Watch out for the cranky male goose (gander?). He attacked me! I thought it was funny. My toddler was a little scared. Beautiful, large open area for kids to run around.
We also explored the plants and flowers. We bought a rose bush for $12 which I thought was an incredible deal.
My only suggestion is they should put in a little cafe. All they had was pop machines for refreshments. Easy money for them. With their "out of the way" location they should have someplace to sit down and have a snack and drink - especially on a hot day like today.

Kashi TLC crackers - yummy and healthy
My young sons love these crackers. We go through boxes and boxes of them. I like them as well. They are whole wheat and don't have high fructose corn syrup in them.

http://www.brightervision.com/
My son loves to get this box in the mail every month. Sort of a preschool in a box. It contains a CD of music, stickers, a workbook with activities including stickers, a craft or materials for dramatic play, a gel pen and a good quality hardback book.
Each month is a different theme. So far we've received these kits:
- farm
- nursery rhymes
- fairy tales
- let's pretend.
You can try out a kit for free. We did and were hooked. It is only $18 a month including shipping.

I love this store. I wish we lived closer. I have a LOT of books from this store - can't beat 50 cents for a good quality board book. I also love the $1 rack for clothes. Its a little crowded so keep that in mind - don't bring your double stroller!
