Kidecals - A Review

I love finding new things.

I love when new things find me too.

Kidecals..

What a fun solution to labeling your stuff, your kid's stuff, your husband's stuff, your kitchen stuff.

I have even seen people at work using the chalkboard stickers on their lunches.

We ordered some with the idea they would be VERY useful to mark Boo Boo's stuff to make sure it came home from all the camps she has going on this summer! Acting camp, 'Camp Auntie Lois", Girl Scout Camp...

They sure came in a nice envelope!

And I think I picked some pretty fun decals for myself!

Quite the STASH  - huh???

And totally ready for camp luggage!!!

And they stay on over TWO muddy, wet soccer practices.

Do you want to try them too??? Guess what!?!

You can use this code to get your own!

Okay? Come closer, let me tell you the code.

You ready?

FASHION!!!

shhhh. keep it to yourself okay???

Nah, share it with everyone! Enjoy 15 percent off your order!

Just FYI - Kidecals did send me a code for some free stickers, but I honestly could not believe how durable they are. That soccer ball was all over a swampy soccer field - You have heard about our rain here in Minnesota this summer?  No fading, peeling, nothing.  It sits just where Boo Boo put it - RIGHT OVER THE DIRT THAT WAS ON IT ALREADY.  Amazing, no? 

Go get some.

a Taste of Summer

I don't think there is anything here in Minnesota quite as nice as the first rhubarb of summer.

My mom has rhubarb, but her patch is dying out as the trees are shading it too much. 

My neighbor has some.

My carpool buddy has some. 

Thankfully, people also like to SHARE the first rhubarb of summer.

I brought it home on Friday and hemmed and hawed over just what I would do with this delicious bounty. 

You see, the people in my house are "MEH" rhubarb - I can take it or leave it.

As a kid I could not WAIT for the rhubarb.

I mean....it is really just a vehicle for sugar.

So on Father's Day - I made Rhubarb Dream Bars.

It called for powdered sugar AND regular sugar.

Recipe here.

And the people said, "YUM!"

Link up to Mama Kat here. 

Yeah - I know, I am that mom. The one that let's her kid do things other mom's may frown upon.

So, let us blame my mother - she is the one who started all this business with the markers.

EVIDENCE from November 2008

My child decided she needed some spice to her appearance at Positively Pop Star camp this week. 

And if you need a tutorial - she made one.

I TOLD you the kid wants to be a YouTube star.

Boo Boo wants to be a YouTube Star. She needs a new videographer - not Mom.

My little girl wants to be a YouTube Star.

 She loves watching the "How To" videos on everything from cake decorating to MineCraft.

 She needs a better videographer than mom. And probably a mic attached to her - not just trying to hear her from my phone a parking lot away.

Hail to the Chief - is it that, or The Throne Room Theme Song?

Boo Boo was so EXCITED when I picked her up from daycare after the last day of school yesterday.

 She could barely contain herself saying that she got "The BEST THING EVER" from her teacher Miss. M. It was this award -

She was telling me all about the awards her friends got as well, Helping Hand - Friend to All, etc.  

Then when we got out of the car she held up her's and told me I had to salute her.  

Sure! 

"But, Mama, what song do they play for the President? All I can think of is Star Wars!" 

- Well my dear, let's go. I will find the "President's Song' on YouTube.

And this is what she did.
