Amazing tape!

 

My favorite tape in the world. I’ve never even tried anything else. This 3M double sided sticky tape has been used to hold all of our solar lights around the pool, some of our blink cameras and the pool pole hook. I’m stunned that not even wet or cold weather makes it detach and some items have been up for over 2 years. My favorite thing to try before screws!

Where did the summer go?????!!

 It’s already gone. Official sports practices are in motion. No more skipping a day here and there. No getting away. 

So the two high schoolers (gulp, I only have high school kids left) and I went to my work to pick some things up and then off to bowl and eat.  Anyone who knows me knows this is truly a treat.  I can’t even remember the last time I bowled. Probably for my 26 year olds 13th birthday?  But it was just the three of us. I forgot to make reservations so we just kindly asked if they had a lane and we ended up with a private room for awhile.

We had an hour time like so we got two and half games in. The last game was a lightening round meaning no prep just bowl as soon as the pins drop. That was my best game. We each won one. Then we had lunch at the alley so Chelsi could go to work. It was a really nice time.  The only pics and video were from the beginning. After that we just enjoyed. So yeah…Jae did actually start putting his fingers in the holes and bowling right. He did much better then. 

Cashback for eating out??

We’ll let me tell you. You can double up for sure. 

I hadn’t had Dominos Pizza in years but my husband really wanted it. I saw we had 20% cashback (up to $10 back) on the Upside App. Check out this free app that gets you cash back on gas and other errands!

Well we used our credit card that gets us 3% cashback on dining and then set the payment method in Upside to that specific credit card and voila. We got 3% back from the credit card company (full disclosure; we pay our credit cards off in full monthly) and the full $10 back from Upside for our $50 order. We essentially got back $11.50 for several pizzas which means we netted paying less than $40. 

If you’re going to spend, spend wisely. Join upside for money back on gas, groceries and dining!!

My baby boys favorite snack!

 

My youngest kiddo’s favorite snack?  Well, when we went to Korea, as a family, in 2013 an ajumma fed him some anchovies.  They were dried and we were all kinda….well not feeling it like he was. Ever since then he’s asked for them but we live in small town with an Asian market about 40 minutes away. But I look every time I go. In 10 years I’ve never found them until this weekend. They had dried, seasoned anchovies and he was in Heaven. He had them opened so fast I didn’t have my camera out because I was still putting the other items away. All I hard was the crack of the container and then a low, “mmmmm”. He finished them the same day.  They smelled so bad to me but he LOVES them. 

True Korean kid. He loves his gojuchang spice and anchovies. 

Rock this and paper towel holder

He wanted paper towels handy when we eat out by the pool, which is often.  So I found this holder for $10 and you can either stick it or screw it.  Our bar slats weren’t very thick and the screws that came with it were too long and would have gone through. I have quite the collection of screws if the sticky tape doesn’t hold so I’m not too worried just trying this first.  Sticky tape it is….for now. 

It’s now been up for several days and it’s been hot and humid   The tape hasn’t let go AND the paper towels haven’t unrolled  love this!

You rock Drew!

 

Such an example for mid aged women everywhere. It’s kind of impossible to live up to the Barbie images most models and celebs portray.  So hearing one say hey I’m just going to embrace my grey and whatever else comes is so welcomed to this almost 50 year old woman.  She’s not saying to hell with yourself, let it all go. She’s saying you don’t have to do Botox and have lifts and other surgeries to look younger.  Try to eat well, throw in some exercise but if things aren’t perfect embrace them,  

Thanks Drew!
