Jersey Mike's Subs

Anyone else sick of Togo's and Subway? I am. I think their sandwiches taste bland and processed. And, I use to like Quizno's until the time it cost Mark and I $20 just for two sandwiches and nothing else. So I am really excited to have two different Jersey Mike's Subs shops nearby. I get excited to go get a sandwich. I love their bread and their meat is freshly shaved to order. It's not cheap but for $25 we can get 2 sandwiches, 2 bags of chips, 2 drinks and a kids meal. Check out their website to see if their is a shop near you! Yummy!!!!!

101st Post

"Happy 101st post birthday to me,

Happy 101st post birthday to me."

(I missed the 100th post so 101 will have to do, I'm still excited) I have a lot of great favs planned for this week, so keep checking back!

Weekend Off

I am taking the weekend off from blogging and I think I might ignore my computer as much as possible these next two days. Maybe by doing so I will discover some new favorites to post.

See you Monday!

Backyardigans Live

Brody has loved the Backyardigans since he was a tiny pea, and even though he has moved on to more preschool type shows, he still loves them just as much. So we jumped at the chance to see the Backyardigans Live. Brody waited for two months to go and we finally made it last Saturday. It was great! Brody said it was the best movie he's ever been to (we still have trouble distinguishing what a movie is and what a show is). Best part yet, he sat still the entire time. That NEVER happens. To see if they are coming to your town click here.

Quiet moments

In the quiet of the night, when I can't sleep and I only have my thoughts, I realize that the only thing in life that is really important is my kids, my husband, my family and my friends. If I lost everything else I could still survive as long as I have them. So when I remember this, I sneak into my babies rooms and snuggle them and thank God that we have each other.

Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale for Women & Kids

Starts today! I am on a major budget, actually I don't think I even have a budget amount for clothes anymore. But, Brody's fall clothes from last year are a little short in the sleeves and a little short in the length so I know it's a great time to pick him up just a few things to get him through Fall (yes I think Fall might be here in California finally). If you don't have a Nordstrom's near you, shop online!

Vote

Vote today and also read back to my prior post called "Pinky Swear." Also, the Starbucks commercial below is beautiful if you haven't seen it. I wish I would have created it. Anyhow, if you vote you can go into Starbucks and say "I voted" and get a free tall cup of brewed coffee.

And when you are done with Starbucks, you can head over to Krispy Kreme with your "I Voted" sticker to get a free doughnut.

Breakfast is served!

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturizer

I really like my Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturizer. I never use to wear moisturizer at all because I always had oily skin and was prone to breakouts. But once I had children my skin changed (and is still changing) and I knew that I needed something light to put on at night or day. My mom bought me this moisturizer for my stocking at Christmas and it is perfect. It is made for all skin types so it has to have a good balance. Now, the new ones have SPF 15 in it, mine doesn't, but I'm sure it's the same. Anyhow this is an everyday favorite. Just wanted to share!

Pinky Swear

I believe everyone in our nation needs to make a deal with each other. Election day is almost here. I think we all need to pinky swear that even if your candidate does not win, that you will take a deep breath and promise to give the winner a chance. It's only fair. You may cry and whine for the shortest amount of time, and then when he is sworn in you must have faith and let the new President try to do his job. No criticism, no nasty words, no name calling. Just give him a chance. Please pass this on to all media personnel.

Thank you,

Amanda

P.S. If you do not vote, you do not get to complain about the President ever. That is the most important rule.

Snippet & Ink Inspiration Board

I love this inspiration board that Kathryn at Snippet & Ink posted last Thursday. It is every bit me and is by far my favorite board that she has done! If only I wasn't married yet I would want to use this as inspiration, but I guess I will just have to find a way to throw myself some kind of fabulous party.
