Remember Blue’s Clues?! I sing that song every time I hear a delivery person on my porch : )
The above springy wine selection came from Winc today. I swapped out the bottles of red planned for this month for all white/rosés and discovered that I had some CANS in the mix! I love canned wine because I can have one and don’t have to “worry” about what to do with the rest of the bottle (drink it? let it slowly deteriorate over 3 nights?). I always stick to the $13 bottles from Winc and have never been disappointed!
Also on my doorstep was a fun gift package from Health Warrior. I love these bars! Chia! Real food! Flavor! Their new protein line is great too.
I picked Mazen up from school, and he had this little wheat grass pet to bring home. We can’t wait to see if it grows!
On our way home, Mazen pointed to his calves and said, “I have muscles in my legs here!” I told him they were his calf muscles and that they were strong because he’s a super biker! They are nice, though, aren’t they?!
I had the couch cleaned by Stanley Steamer (gets car-pets clean-er!!) yesterday and the cushions had to dry overnight. Mazen walked in and said, “Mommy, you’ve been making forts!” Hahahaha.
That little sneak also figured out where I keep the grown-up candy stash! He said with a sly smile, “Mommy, I know where you keep the chocolate.” He was right. He found the jar on a shelf. Guess I’m not so sneaky myself when I get some!
We spent the rainy afternoon playing Easter egg hunt (again! again!) and watching shows together on the couch. Have you seen Super Why? It’s really educational!
When I started to unload the dishwasher, Mazen wanted to help. He’s at that perfect age where he wants to feel grown up, and it’s golden! I had him sort and put away the silverware for the first time, and he did an excellent job!
For dinner, I made Cumin-Sichuan Shrimp Fried Rice with Bird’s Eye Chile & Marinated Radish from Blue Apron. It was awesome, but I made quite the mess in the kitchen! I love the color that the radish added. (The sour cream was my addition 😉 )
Here’s Mazen’s version. He ate it all, cabbage included. He’s been doing SO well with his eating in the past few months! The white blob is mayonnaise, which Matt loves and taught him to eat. If he’s dipping healthy food in mayo, I am cool with that.
We did a quick bath with stories and snuggles.
And now I’m watching Survivor! Remind me not to live blog on Survivor night again : )

Lucky you!! I haven’t heard of Winc, but it’s right up my alley. I’m a member at one of the wineries nearby in Sonoma, so I got my shipment last week. Best day of the month 😉
I got two big packages today, too! Must be a big day for deliveries- hah. Lot’s of peanut butter, tea and peanut flour and another one full of workout gear.

I wish I could afford Sonoma wine clubs. We did one for a while but the bottles were like $30-40. SO GOOD though!

Look at the number of all those energy bars. Health Warrior isn’t a brand I’ve heard of before, looks like it’d be nice to try though!

Get yourself a VacuVin (less than $15 on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004SAF4 and extra stoppers available cheap, too) and stop worrying about partially consumed bottles of wine. These things really work – they keep wine good for days. They last basically forever, too. My parents have had theirs for decades.

Can you please tell us how that canned wine is?! I’ve seen it at Whole Foods and am super curious.
Also packages are so fun!
KathEats says
Oh I would love it if I could buy it here too! I will let you know : )

Haha Mazen’s comment about the forts is TOO cute!
Tonya says
Hmm. I may try a shrimp fried rice with cauliflower “rice”… thanks for the inspiration.

Regarding your wine bottle dilemma, have you tried one of the wine saver things? My husband and I enjoy wine in very small quantities, and this allows us to stretch out a bottle over a few nights (or even a week, if we’re not drinking it every night). We have this Swissmar version, which is easy to use: https://www.amazon.com/Swissmar-Epivac-Champagne-Chrome-Stoppers/dp/B0000632Q7
I hear you on the egg hunt over and over! My son even talked me into pulling out the eggs to do a hunt in December 😀

Mazen’s little calf muscle is amazing. Very unusual for someone that age. I used to be a mayonnaise dipper at that age, too. My mom said I’d eat anything with mayo on it. I still like it on some things besides sandwiches.
