We just finished a week with my mom here and it was so enjoyable. We were able to visit and relax while the kids were in MDO and Mom got alot of Grammy time with them when they were home. We went to the new MOLA exhibit at the zoo on Wednesday and I took her to the new Aldi store on Thursday. Having Mom here also allowed Heath and I to take Carter to see "How to Train Your Dragon" in the theater on Sunday and take him to his kindergarten orientation on Thursday. I was sad when she left on Friday, but we'll see her again in Hondo for a family reunion in May.
Just for fun, here are some of my new favorite things:

These almonds have a portion control measuring tool on the side of the jar so you know when to stop eating. They are a great snack to get through the afternoon till dinner time.

This is the best breakfast cereal ever!! I can't stop eating it. Plus it's loaded with fiber and protein to keep you from getting hungry.

Love the new Dial NutriSkin glycerin bar soap. Yummy scents.

Tylenol 8-hour can get rid of a headache or backache like nobody's business.
Finally, I couldn't find a picture of it, but I was pleasantly surprised to find Oscar Mayer now makes nitrite-free hot dogs and they aren't even any more expensive. Look for them under the "Premium" label. $1.98/package
