Atlanta Baby Expo -- The Aftermath and The Loot!, A Pictorial

Saturday's Atlanta Baby and Child Expo was a smashing success, and quite an extraordinary event!  I was able to take someone with me (can't say WHO, since she's just "a little pregnant -- shhh!), along with my son to peruse through all the vendors.  We enjoyed seeing all that was out there in the world of babies and children, as well as enjoy the comradre that only mothers can understand.  Oh, and getting to cruise through The Fox Theater is always a pleasure. 


GREAT thanks to MyLifeLady for lending some of her pictures!


Daddy Scrubs had a booth there, complete with these AWESOME "trunk bags" stuffed with goodies, including a $10 giftcard...  I'm working with them now on a possible give away. Anyone interested?  :o)

This was the "VIP" bag -- how CUTE is that designer bag!?, chock full of products, including Downy Unstoppables, Vita Gummies, amongst other things.

The baby I brought with,
but the sunglasses we won from the Expo. 

Yet another super-cute bag, courtesy of Enfamil.  If you haven't already, I highly suggest you sign up for their mailing list, you'll receive valuable coupons!  
The Bump, an -um- offspring of The  Knot, had a booth,
along with a helpful brochure for new and expecting mommas.

...all the other miscellaneous goodies handed out and won.  This i a sampling of what my friend over at MyLifeLady won -- including a brand new (vibrating) Mombo!

Finally, this is what I won from Atlanta Parent Magazine!  I have coveted a Moby Wrap for MONTHS now, but -honestly- am just too cheap to get one.


Want to see more pictures from the Expo?  Check out the ones on their Facebook page!  OR do you have your own pictures or stories to share?  Enter them on the comments section below.  :o)

(Shhh.... Sneaky) Sloppy Joes

Want to bulk up a simple classic with some veggies?  Try my Sneaky Sloppy Joes. Sauté some onions, garlic (two staples I put in just about any skillet dish), finely diced squash, finely chopped spinach.  You can also add finely diced carrots, bell peppers of assorted colors, brocolli, and whatever else you can sneak in to the pan!  I do all this before browning the ground turkey.  Then, prepare as you normally would, whether your sloppy joe sauce is canned, enveloped, or made-from-scratch (c'mon!). I've been packing mine with extra veggies for over a year, and no one is none the wiser.  Yet. (Please don't show this to my family...  please?) This recipe is also posted under my Big Oven account.  :o)

Ditching the Sponge

Ditching the Sponge This summer I accomplished something I once thought unthinkable: I gave up the sponge.  It was a gripping addiction, harder to kick than a nasty nicotine habit.   ...a habit that had the ability to spar k the silliest of arguments amongst even the best of   roomies.  Right, SwimBikeMom ?  :P  But once again, I digress; that's a blog for another day. Perhaps a tad  OCD, I was one of *those* people who had a sponge designated for various parts of the kitchen: one for the floor, one for the counters, and another one for dishes.  I knew for quite some time that sponges were a breeding ground for all things disgusting; however, I was not keen on the idea of using paper towels, or other disposable products -- I had  to find a GREEN alternative to sponges.

Unit Price, Unit Price, Unit Price!!!

I have discovered that many people do not take unit price in to account when attempting to shop savvily.  (Did I just make up a new word?!!)  So for my fellow frugal shoppers, or my frugal-shoppers-in-training, let me explain the value in knowing the unit price of an item you wish to purchase, or are pondering purchasing. What the heck is a unit price??
