Considering that it's 10 degrees and icy outside today, I thought I should do the same! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So, I'm going to make my own basket of goodies for delivery folks and here is a free download of a printable sign for your basket! If you print it in portrait, you'll be able to fold it over your basket.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!</span><br />

I don't know<span style="font-size: x-large;">So I am not very good at design but I do LOOOVVE when I see design that is refreshing. (I still need to read "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up" but anyways). That being said, I'm loving how in-style white walls are! Maybe it's because I grew up with white walls or the fact that it is so airy and relaxing. So when I went on a hunt for white walls, I figured I couldn't go wrong with Restoration Hardware paint, right? I have gone horribly wrong in the past with grey. Oh, brother. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So here are the whites I chose from.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">From top to bottom:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Cloud White</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-The Right White</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Buttermilk</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Sand Dollar</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I ended up choosing the bottom color, Sand Dollar by Restoration Hardware. The paint wasn't cheap but I figured I'd be starring at it every day. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">And, here is the finished product! Ultimately, I'm pretty happy with it. It gives a nice grey undertone in the shadows. My husband was used to our pretty rich colors so he feels like it's a little sterile but he has grown to love it. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Also, they did end up re-grouting Kenzie's bathroom because the beige grout failed. Here you can see the difference between light grout and dark grout with white hexagon tile. </span><br />

Of course, I asked, hey man, how much cash can I pay you to go ahead and just paint the entire bathroom? Ok, sweet! </span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;">We had flat paint in Kenzie's bathroom prior to the construction and there were greasy little handprints/faceprints/buttprints all over the walls.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted something fun for her bathroom and I seem to be obsessed with sparkles lately. Anyways, on one of our many trips to target, I happened to walk through the paint aisle and I impulsively bought the devine color, white paint as well as the devine color, gold dust sparkles to add to said paint. Who knew target had a paint aisle!? </span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm all LA DE DA about painting and Grant is all I GET IT DONE NOW AND I GET IT DONE RIGHT. You know the guy I'm talking about, the kind of guy who designs airplane engines (thank God for people like him, I know)... the plan has to be well thought out so that it can be perfectly executed on time with zero flaws or interruptions. I'm all, it'll take me weeks beyond my initial forecasted completion date and several trips to the hardware store... plus some wine. Oh, and I might start 5 other projects prior to completion as well... but don't worry. So probably kind of expensive and also very costly on our marriage. Hence the "we only hire out and I only hire out to guys I can ask on the spot for cash price now, man". That way I can keep Grant on his toes with my spontaneity and then totally nod my head and sympathize with Grant when Mr. Painter doesn't meet Grant's standards even though I typically over-thank service folks because I truly appreciate their hard work even if the outcome is subpar because Lord knows my outcomes come with a lot of "oh well, that's no big deal, it brings character" types of mistakes. </span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So anyways, here is what the gold sparkle dust plus white paint looks like in real life! <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Yesss!!! </span> Kenzie and I find ourselves with our nose to the wall, moving our heads side to side in awe of the beautiful shimmers. I'm not entirely sure how long this fascination will last but I imagine it will bring us a lot of future joy. </span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">RECOMMENDATION: YES. Buy it, do it, use it! </span><br>

That being said, I wanted to share some of favorite books! We spend time reading each night before bed and these are the most common repeat offenders. Not only are they her favorites, but Grant and I also really enjoy them. So if you're wondering, what should I buy for a 3 or 4 old? Or if you need to fill up your personal library, here are our recs. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/142319957X/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=chocakandjesc-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=142319957X&linkId=3412b64efafff22f026d3862db6aa6a5"><b>Piggie & Elephant</b></a> and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/078681988X/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=chocakandjesc-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=078681988X&linkId=d93c9b8de849836f68a9008d6f1452a8"><b>Don't Let Pigeon Drive the Bus</b></a> keep Kenzie very actively involved. You really can't go wrong with any Mo Willems books. He's brilliant! Both Grant and I enjoy them and Kenzie is enthralled by them. Piggie & Elephant always make her giggle and we feel like they teach such good life lessons about sharing, making new friends, including new friends, reality, etc. Seriously, I can't say enough good things!</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><u>There is a Monster at the end of this Book</u></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Now this book is hilarious! Mackenzie literally gets in this book's face and talks to it! She also very quickly started reading it on her own. It brings a lot of laughs and interactions. "Did you know that you are very strong?" and Kenzie yells, "YES!".</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Oh, my heartstrings. I imagine you've heard of this book and if you don't have it, buy it! You'll keep it your entire life. You might even cry when you read it.

I took these pictures down during construction in our home and when I went to put them back up on the same nails, they looked like this. I took a quick picture and walked away to my other-before-bed-to-dos-which-includes-telling-you-about-this. Oh, and I also watched some Grace Helbig on the YouTube while I worked on my expense report. She's so funny! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Basically, it's when the frame of your roof starts pulling up and away from the walls of your house. It looks a little something like this in the winter. How do they fix it? I have no clue but the google does and I guess so does my builder. TBD.</span><br />

We had some structural issues with our home and so they needed to reinforce the subfloor in our bathroom. How did we know? The grout kept crumbling and the tiles were shifting. Oh, brother. They tried to replace tiles. They tried to re-grout and they tried to re-grout again. Grout.kept.crumbling. Imagine my husband who is a German engineer. My friend who has experience building said it was probably a combination of a bad installation job and the floors bouncing. Anyways, during the fix our builder wanted to try to salvage our original tiles and just replace what was necessary but then we discovered our tile was discontinued. This means mama gets to pick new tile! 😍 </span></span><br>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Also, speaking of my husband who is a German engineer. This story is totally unrelated but I thought this was so funny. Ready? So I get common sayings, idioms, phrases, cliches, etc wrong pretty consistently. (This drives Grant crazy.) Anyways, I found that I can pretty much ask google anything I want so I ask google about these phrases/idioms/cliches pretty consistently before confidently opening my mouth (or typing on my little iphone). While talking to my sisters (via Facebook messenger) about the election, I couldn't remember that phrase, "if you throw enough shit against a wall, some of it has gotta stick." So I plugged a few of those words in to the google and this came up. Some guy asked some forum if there was a "faithful translation" of this phrase in German? Anyway, some other guy (starblue) replied and said, "I think the concept is too un-German to have an associated saying. Germans presume that everything has to be carefully planned and executed to succeed". I die. Even when I try to google random, stupid sayings some human out there on the interweb infiltrates my search results to tell me how un-German that phrase is. 😂</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Whenever I put bread in my soup, I think back to this boss I had who would laugh at me and say, "WTF, Stewart, are you homeless?" 😂 Props to the homeless if this was their idea because it was a damn good one. Now I'm wondering why I got hot soup when the high is 84 today. Whatever. The other day Marc Maron was telling me (via podcast) how folks in the desert drink hot green tea because it takes their body more energy to heat up a cold drink or something. </span></div>

THE KIDS ARE NOT ON A VACATION! Sitting on the beach with my husband is VACATION. Oh, and I'd have a drink in my hand. Being home with my kids all summer is NOT A VACATION. Poor stranger is uncomfortably trying to look for an out while smiling. 😳. Meanwhile, angry Panera employee just threw a bunch of dishes on the GROUND! Jk, I think it was an accident, but a bunch of dishes were definitely broken and everyone looks uncomfortable. </span></span><br>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Our grout kept crumbling in our bathrooms and our builder kept bandaging the problem. Finally, they decided that the floors were moving and they needed to pull the tile up. Our tile was discontinued so we needed ALL new tile.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Grant</b>: I don't want to mess with it. What a pain. </span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Deb</b>: Awesome! So maybe they didn't do it right the first time but now we get all new tile! Happy Dance! Let's get everything fixed, Grant!!</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And then they started tearing apart our bathroom.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Deb</b>: What in the world. I had no idea what we were getting in to. Why did we do this!?</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Grant</b>: Isn't it great, they're fixing it and we get new tile.</span><div><font size="4"><br></font></div><div><font size="4">I guess if we were exactly the same we would never accomplish anything, would we?<br></font><div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Kenzie asked Grant for a Cookie Monster sticker chart, so he delivered. C is for COOKIE! Next up, a huge baby alive sticker chart because she is saving up for a super snackin baby alive that poops. Why is she obsessed with these babies that poop? She just received 2 hand me down baby alives that pee. One from her Aunt Chelle and one from these super sweet neighbor girls. Next, a pooping baby that goes to restaurants with us. Lord have mercy.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you like to garage sale or you love bargains, you'll love </span><b style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">buying</span></b><span style="font-size: large;"> from <a href="http://referral.swap.com/344375802948751360" target="_blank">Swap.com</a>! I've always been the type that enjoys buying off of facebook sale sites and consignment stores, but now I mostly just use Swap because it's so much easier! Looking for a <a href="http://referral.swap.com/344375802948751360">Swap.com</a> promo code? Use </span><a href="http://referral.swap.com/344375802948751360"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>my link </b></span></a><span style="font-size: large;">to get 20% off plus free shipping on your free order!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you like to sell your child's clothing to finance future clothing, you'll love <b>selling </b>to swap! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What is <a href="http://referral.swap.com/344375802948751360">Swap.com</a>? </b><b>How does Swap.com work? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Swap is an online consignment store. With Swap, you literally ship a giant box (20x20x17) of your family's gently used items and then Swap lists them for you. Swap photographs the items for you and all you have to do is login and price your items. Then, you suddenly get randomly emails telling you when an item has sold. Awesome! An average box earns about $150. </span><span style="font-size: large;">It is SO MUCH easier than pricing, tagging, hanging and dropping off your consignment items somewhere like Whale of Sale. TRUST ME! No safety pins or tagging guns. And if you itemize your taxes and give to goodwill, that's wonderful but you don't see the benefit for 1 year. If they don't accept any of your items, you can still choose to donate them for a tax deduction. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />So here is what you do - </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1. Fill up a 20x20x17 box (I keep one in my closet and when I try something on and I don't like it, it goes straight in to this box).</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>2. Print out your label from Swap</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3. Schedule a FedEx pickup and put your box on your porch!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>4. Swap lists your items - you price them</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>5. Sell your items!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>6. Receive money in your Paypal account!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>7. Go shopping!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">What do they accept?</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-size: large;">When it first started, it was primarily for children's items but they have expanded to Women's, Maternity and Men's. Grant's items seem to sell pretty quickly. When I recently emailed them asking them what the highest demand was, they said they were selling boys clothes, toys and plus size women's the fastest. If you want to sell fast, price low! Don't forget to send in toys, movies and books! These seem to sell well too.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

deb and granthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05344249435855829564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953698610693761466.post-32425185846841568852016-04-18T15:24:00.002-04:002016-07-04T14:10:52.113-04:00Toxic Schmoxic<span style="font-size: large;">Have you ever wondered what chemicals were hiding in your beauty products? I hadn't either. I try desperately not to be an alarmist or super neurotic about much in life. In fact, before having a child, I could honestly say that I was about as carefree as a human could be. My husband would quickly tell you that "it's no big deal" was my mantra whether I had missed my flight home from London so my connection through Toronto was cancelled and I stayed in a hotel with a random teacher. Or if I had happened to ram my parents van into a stranger's house during an icy storm, their son answered the door with a shotgun and then I stayed the night because the weather was bad. Or if I had come back to my college campus the day before school started to find my apartment and chose some random strangers to live with for the next year (Love you, Krista!). Or when my husband lost his wedding ring and I was all, seriously, it's just metal and let's be honest, it's all going to burn in the end. I'm not worried about it, man. It'll all work out. Everything will be fine. Don't worry.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And then you become a mother and BAM! Everything in regards to safety IS a BIG DEAL. What is the #1 thing that is important in our existence? Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs - it's pretty clear that after our basic physiological needs are met then there is safety. Like every mother, my child's safety and well being are my top priority. But then, of course, I start to take better care of myself because I want to be healthy to be able to provide for my child. A few of my peers have recently been diagnosed with cancer and let me tell you, THAT is alarming. Cancer in your 30s as a mother!? WHAT.THE.ACTUAL.EFF. I thought we were supposed to be worrying about our husband getting home from work late or missing our child's Spanish "show off" ... not possibly missing out on their lives entirely because of cancer. I mean, let's be honest, nobody makes it out of this place alive and we shouldn't worry about when we go but we all want to be there for our kids. PS. If you really are going through a lot of anxiety and worry right now, <a href="http://www.tpcc.org/sermon-archive/series/me-too/">here's a great message about worry</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">That being said, maybe correlation doesn't always imply causation. But other times, maybe there is some causation behind all of the chemicals in our environment and cancer at younger ages. Or the toxins we unknowingly put on our body and the link between hormone disrupters and all of the infertility or breast and ovarian cancer. I don't know. Maybe I don't want to know. But I do know that I do not want my little one to be exposed to hormone disrupters as her little body is growing and developing. I mean, I'm not going to go all "wood toys" and zero plastics like Jessica Biel's new restaurant with child care, Au Fudge. But I'm also not going to microwave any of my child's food in plastic because deep inside even if I'm making this up in my head, that damn plastic could be leaching into her food and causing her ovaries to go all ape shit. I mean, they even considered banning saran wrap/ plastic wrap because of that very fact. Damnit, plastic wrap, I thought we had a good thing going. How is anyone supposed to know!? And what about the people who don't know and live until they're 178 and they ate bacon wrapped in marshmallows while wearing toxic lipstick. What!? Whatever. Once you know, you know, man. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">That being said, there's an APP FOR THAT when it comes to what is in our bathroom cabinets. We can scan our beauty products and find out what kind of garbage is inside. Awesome and scary. This little app is exactly why I went ahead and signed up for <a href="http://www.beautycounter.com/debperry/">BEAUTYCOUNTER</a>. Now that I know how dirty our products are, if friends and family ask me what we use, I will reactively tell them. BUT, if you don't want to know, hakuna matata, sista! I don't want to know either.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is the app to check the safety of the items in your make up bag and under your sink.</span><br />

Like many of you, I'm a wife and mom—and like many of you, I didn't know what I didn't know. As I applied sunscreen, lotion, and any number of beauty products on myself and my kids, I never thought for a second they might not be safe: After all, I thought, we live in a country that regulates everything. So imagine my surprise when I learned that when it comes to the personal care industry, that's simply not the case. Companies are allowed to use known toxins—ingredients that have been linked to cancer, reproductive issues, hormone disruption—without telling us.</div>

As I learned more—1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women in the US will be diagnosed with cancer—I had to do something. So I started Beautycounter, a company devoted to progress. You'll find a wealth of empowering information about ways we can all make the world healthier, along with products you can trust are safe. Because we all deserve better. Our vision is bold—real answers are never timid. Help us put truth back in beauty. xx gregg</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">If you have a fair child who does not sit still for sunscreen or who does not love having tight tops pulled over their head, this is the suit for you! In all seriousness, everyone in my husband's immediate family has had basal cell carcinoma. With that being said, I want to do everything I can to protect my small, fair skinned child from the sun. Her head has always been in the 90th percentile so those tight rash guard tops make everyone in a one mile radius feel stressed when it's time to put it on. And let's not talk about taking it off when it's wet! 🙈</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, here is the swimsuit that has my vote! They run a bit big. My 3 1/2 year old can still wear her size 24 month top and the arms are just a little short (but she can't wear the bottoms). She now solidly in the size 3T and it's loose enough to be comfortable but not tight at all. I love this swimsuit!!</span><br />

Or Keens for 50% plus free shipping in 2 days!? AMAZON! I LOVE AMAZON! Oh, and don't forget cash back with eBates! --> link on the right.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you're not sure how to search Amazon for the best deals, just search by the category "Shoes" and then on the bottom left after you have input the size you're looking for, click "50% off or more" and VOILA! Here is a screenshot.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Department -> Clothing, Shoes, Jewelry -> Girls (or whatever human you're searching for) -> Shoes</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Click on size and % off.</span><br>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I love the hexagon tiles for my little one's bathroom. Should I do tiny, medium or huge? I'm thinking 2x2... or 1x1.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Just for fun, here are some round penny tiles from a recent home show we attended. Home was designed and decorated by <a href="http://mawrdesign.com/interiordesign.php">Mawr.</a></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I am no designer. But I know that I like designs that are simple and timeless! That being said, even though subway tile is super trendy right now it has also been around from the beginning of tile. We built our Drees home about 4 years ago and at the time we were pregnant and we had both started new jobs so tile choices were not our top priority. Since then, we have had multiple problems with our tile so our builder finally decided to pull the tile up to investigate and find out what the underlying issue is. The tile may not have been installed correctly and the grout job was poor (it has been re-grouted a few times and it continues to crumble).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is an example. Yikes!</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">That being said, now I get to pick new tile! Drees spent so long trying to bandage the problem that our tile is now discontinued. My husband is not excited about the process nor has he been thrilled about 3 years of issues that have been bandaged. But it seems that it will have been worth it! Enough about the problems with Drees. Let's talk about the fun part.</span><br />

SPARKLE GROUT! Awesome. Now is it sanded or not sanded and will it hold up? No idea.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I'd like to use the Marazzi Petrified Grey Preservation tile on the floors using the 9x36 files. I feel like it'll give tie in the gold granite, dark cabinets and white subway tile well. I'll probably paint the walls white too. If I could re-do everything, countertop and cabinets included, I would put in white/gray countertops, white cabinets and use hexagon tiles for the floor. Swoon. </span><br />

We decided to try the Walking Water Rainbow Bridge Science Experiment. It was super easy and she loved it! It was a fun way to learn about wicking and color combinations, oh, and patience. While waiting, she dyed eggs, went to the museum, had lunch, went to cheer practice, met a friend at a park and then stepped outside to smell the rain. Oh how we love the smell of rain.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Ok, so I discovered the superfood side salad at Chick fil A recently and I LOVE it! I was having this salad at lunch with a client and she was all "Oh, I made it at home, no big deal, so easy". So I figured I could try it too! And it was so good! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are the ingredients on the Chick fil A website:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="segment food-title" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 19.5px; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; widows: 1; width: 650px;">
<span class="cfa" style="font-family: "caecilialtstd85heavy" , "geneva" , "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 21px; padding-bottom: 3px; white-space: nowrap;">Superfood Side</span> </div>
<div class="segment menu-Description" id="MainContent_pIngredients" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: bold; line-height: 19.5px; margin-top: 15px; padding: 0px; widows: 1; width: 650px;">
Broccolini<span class="reg" style="font-size: 7px; position: relative; top: -5px;">®</span>, kale, maple vinaigrette dressing (maple syrup, soybean oil, water, brown sugar, onion ([including dehydrated], distilled vinegar, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce [water, soybeans, salt, alcohol], balsamic vinegar, salt, spice, xanthan gum, potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate added as preservatives, maltodextrin, dextrose, canola oil, yeast extract, natural flavor, calcium disodium EDTA to protect flavor), dried cherries (cherries, sugar, sunflower oil), roasted nut blend (glazed walnuts [walnuts, sugar, natural flavor, canola oil], roasted almonds, glazed pecans [pecans, sugar, natural flavor, canola oil]).</div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ok, Easy enough. I did not consult the google, but I'm pretty sure that they do not sell maple vinaigrette to the public. Ok, I just googled and it looks like you're supposed to make your own dressing. What. Anyways, I bought regular balsamic vinaigrette and added some "maple" syrup (some weird stuff from whole foods that my 3 year old uses for her pancakes). Done. No homemade dressing necessary.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">So here is my 3 minute recipe!!</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">INGREDIENTS:</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Broccolini (so cute, I didn't know it existed either, it's located somewhere near the broccoli... or lettuce depending on your store)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Kale (I bought purple kale because why not)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Nuts: Almonds, Walnuts and Pecans</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Dried Cranberries or Cherries if you can find them</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Maple Syrup</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-Fork</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>INSTRUCTIONS:</b></span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">(I know, you can totally figure this out... but just in case)</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">-tear apart some kale and throw it in a bowl</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">-cut up some broccolini and throw it in said bowl</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">-add some dried cranberries</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">-add whatever nut mixture you want (I used Pecans and Walnuts)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">-stir in whatever amount of balsamic vinaigrette you want (my husband dies a little inside when I don't measure)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">-add a dash of maple syrup (or don't - it was still good without it</span><br />
<br />
WHA LA! Or <em class="qword" style="color: #3b3e41; font-family: 'open sans', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">voilà </em>as the French would say. So good!!! EXCEPT, it gets in your teeth - BAD. So remember to check your teeth before you start confidently chatting it up with your neighbors.<br />

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Reading with my Kenzie is my favorite part of each day. After bath and a few games of hide n seek, we cuddle up and read 5 to 15 books each night (depending on how many times I give in to "just one more" after we've finished our original pile). At 3 1/2 Kenzie has really started to enjoy Dr. Seuss! She's obsessed with "Wocket in my Pocket" because she loves to rhyme. And she loves "Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb" because we get to drum on the book. And, of course, "Go, Dog, Go" is so exciting and wacky. Do you like my hat? No, I do not like your hat. But my favorite is "Oh, the Places You'll Go" because I can daydream about her future as we read it together. </div>

Aside from fabulous quotes and fun books to read with my little one, there are so many things we can learn about the late Mr. <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Theodor “Dr. Seuss” Geisel and his widow Audrey Stone Geisel</span><span style="background-color: rgba(255 , 255 , 255 , 0); font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">. Here are just a few fun facts about them. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">1. I read that his first children's book was rejected 27 time before it was published! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">2. He did not have any children and the unpredictability of children unnerved him.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">3. He was quite the philanthropist. His wife is especially generous with donations. </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">4. Even though they lived much of their lives in SoCal, Audrey Stone Geisel or "Mrs. Dr. Seuss" grew up in the Chicago area and earned a nursing degree form IU in the 1940s. And as president of the Dr. Seuss Fund and Dr. Seuss Foundation, she has contributed to many causes in support of literacy, health care, the arts, and education.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">There is always more to the story. I just heard something about a "human library" in Denmark where you can "check out" people to listen to their stories. </span></div>
