Cherry lands in the U.S. and she's on a mission to find out about your bum!

I shared the first video in this hilarious Cottonelle FreshCare wipes series with you last week, and now it's time to check in with Cherry to see what is happening in the U.S.! She did not even leave the airport before asking her hot and "dirty" questions...



Everyone must wipe, right? So let's talk about our bums! Have you ever used a bidet? I have seen them, but never tried. How do you get dry? It seems like wipes would be a much easier way to clean!

What do you think about this product? Would you use it? Or maybe you do already?  Let me know! Let's talk. Bring the conversation over to Facebook to chat with Cottonelle:  Facebook.com/Cottonelle

Mommy & Me Monday: Zoo Atlanta

I think everyone knows what an awful summer we had in the Atlanta area this year - rain, rain, rain! Instead of a once-a-week swimming day, we went to the pool maybe four times total. A week or so ago, we just couldn't take it anymore and decided to go to the zoo. We packed our umbrellas and went on our way.

We got lucky! No rain for the first hour and only very light sprinkles for the second hour. And absolutely no crowds! We parked literally steps from the front gate.

Rainy weekend with Mommy and Daddy at Zoo Atlanta:

 

Zoo Atlanta news:  Staff at the zoo celebrated two exciting births recently - twin baby pandas and, just the day before we visited, a baby black rhino!  Also, in early July, the zoo opened a brand new splash pad area in the children's zone. Lots of fun to be had!

Easy! Chocolate Banana bites #healthysnack

Do all kids come home from school starving? Mine surely does! She eats snack after snack in the afternoon, and then (of course) she does not want dinner. I am trying my best to come up with yummy snacks that she can get excited about, but that will also fill her up so she can wait a couple hours until dinner.

Bananas are a fantastic snack because they are sweet and high in potassium, plus bananas release energy slowly. Amelia thinks bananas are only for breakfast, however, so getting her to eat one after school is a challenge.

Insert chocolate here. Chocolate makes everything better, right?! 

Chocolate covered bananas are delicious, but I do not want the mess and time required to melt and dip. Do you know what works pretty well? Magic Shell! Not the healthiest chocolate treat in the world, but in moderation I have no issue with it.

Slice bananas, arrange on a plate

Pour Magic Shell over the bananas to coat the tops. 

Optional: add some sprinkles for color and crunch.

Place plate in freezer for 5-6 minutes.

 That's it! Cold, refreshing, filling, and tasty chocolate banana bites without any mess or cooking.

A new school year starts here! #KmartBackToSchool

It is no secret that my family stepped into the world of "big kid" school just a few weeks ago. It has been a whirlwind! And for the record, I am not a fan of the extremely early start time (7:50 am!). It makes for a very long day for all of us.

I know that each year is going to bring even more activities and new adventures. Amelia begins soccer tonight, even before we are used to our 5-day-a-week school schedule. Now we add Wednesday practices and Saturday games to the calendar!
