Bargain of the day

I bought the following items today at a local kids consignment sale:

• Children's book
• Dinosaur puzzles (4 pack)
• Dodgers pink mini baseball bat 
• LEGO® starter set for girls
• Little People dollhouse
• Melissa & Doug brownie set
• Sunglasses (2 pairs)
• Boys clothing: long sleeve dress shirt, long sleeve t-shirt, one pair of pants, sweater vest 
• Girls clothing: two dresses, one skirt, two pairs of pants, three long sleeve shirts, two jackets, one pair of pajamas

I spent a grand total of $113.14. Some of the toys will be saved for Christmas. It's always exciting to save money on name-brand, new, and gently-used items for my kids.

Ethan: "I've been asking daddy for years and years to buy me a soft finger souvenir at Dodger Stadium, and he finally did at the Chargers game!"

Emily and I will be looking for the boys on TV today. Ryan is taking Ethan to his first Chargers game.

God Bless America, our military men and women, and the Chargers! LET'S GO BOLTS!

Ultimate Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you have a chocolate craving and avoid eating processed junk food (like myself), then you'll love this recipe: Ultimate Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies.

My son was (and is always) a big helper in the kitchen. We surprised Ryan with a warm cookie and glass of milk when he got home from work. He gave our cookies two thumbs up! :)

Bike suggestions

I will never forget the look on Ethan's face when he got his first “big boy” bike…PRICELESS!

The best thing about the bike is, it’s truly “green”. I bought the barely used bike at a local consignment shop. The green paint wasn't shiny, but my son could care less.

He’s happiest when he’s riding it on a warm, sunny day. ☀ However, now that our 4 1/2-year-old son is starting to outgrow it, Ryan and I would love to get him a new bike. Any suggestions?

We've also been trying to find a pink toddler bike for Emily, our petite 2-year-old.
