It’s okay…
…that I have a lot of randomness to share this week, but I feel like this is the perfect post in which to do so.
…that I have some weird aches in my knee and my shoulder, but I think my abs are getting stronger!
…that I think it’s important to remember that not everyone is the same. A few people were surprised that I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day. It’s just not a part of our tradition. Next month, The Kids Behind the Blog asks about St. Patrick’s Day. I don’t even know if my kids know what that is! I also don’t celebrate Easter, so I’m kind of hoping that one isn’t asked about in April!
…that I think I figured out how to fix my computer issues without restarting every time it stops loading the internet. I just choose troubleshoot on the internet connections icon and it fixes it! (Scratch that. It’s not helping anymore).
…that I was asked to share this image from PuppySpot and I thought it was cute enough to do so:
PuppySpot is a service committed to helping responsible breeders place their puppies with caring individuals and families. They take pride in their No Puppy Mill Promise and have a zero tolerance for puppy mills or substandard breeding practices of any kind. Check out their cute puppies for sale!
…that I was also asked to share these really fun heart-shaped animal crafts you can do with your kids!
…that I got another Daily Goodie Box! These things are really awesome. You can see the one I got last month here. This month, there were a few more things I couldn’t have because they are not kosher, but here is what I got:
Just Chill Natural Anxiety Relief – Tropical:
”The mouthwatering flavors of mango, peach and orange combine to create our signature JUSTCHILL: Tropical flavor.”
Price: $26 for pack of 12. You can also get a sample pack of all 4 flavors for only $5.99 for shipping.
My Thoughts: I could not try this one though I like the idea of it!
Nature’s Bakery Raspberry Fig Bars – Whole Wheat Raspberry:
”Fueling sweet moments like mastering the two-wheeler—and being the dad behind it all—is our passion. Our raspberry fig bar is a crowd favorite, no matter who’s in the crowd.”
Price: $35.88 for 12 boxes of 6.
My Thoughts – This tasted like a healthy version of Fig Newtons. It made a great snack!
Vermont Smoke & Cure Beef & Pork Sticks – Cracked Pepper:
”Just a bit of peppery kick. Crafted with lean beef and pork, cracked pepper and a classic mix of spices for nourishing real meat protein.”
Price: $32.95 for a box of 24.
My Thoughts – Pretty obvious that I couldn’t try this one!

SLS Free, No Artificial Preservatives, Gluten Free, Safety Seal, Easy Open Flip Top Cap, BPA Free, Minimal Recyclable Packaging.”
Price: $6.99.
My Thoughts – We haven’t given up using fluoride in our toothpaste yet, but I’m sure Gabbie or Simon would like this!
Xylichew – Spearmint:
”Xylichew is gum for people seeking great taste and quality ingredients. Made with no chemicals or artificial sweeteners, Xylichew promotes a healthier mouth, and is safe for those with diabetes and many food allergies.”
Price: $10.53 for 60 pieces.
My Thoughts – I was unable to try this.

Price: $75 for a box of 30. You can get 20% off with the code GOODIESAVE20.
My Thoughts: I was excited that I could try this because I have been wanting to add more protein to my diet and specifically in smoothies, so I drank this in a smoothie and really liked it!
Coffee Blocks – Butter Coffee:
“1 Packet = 1 serving worth of: grass fed clarified butter, organic virgin coconut oil, organic vanilla extract, organic egg yolk, and mycotoxin free COFFEE!”
Price: $23.95 for 8 packets.
