5 Things Friday XVIII

June 24, 2016 | Disney, eBook, food, Travel

Happy Friday! Here are five things for you to start off your weekend.

1.) KIND snacks was nice enough to send me some of their NEW breakfast bars to try out. The are made with 100% whole grains, featuring five super grains – oats, millet, buckwheat, amaranth, quinoa – to keep you going throughout the day. Flavors include: Blueberry Almond, Honey Oat, Dark Chocolate Cocoa, (my fave!) Peanut Butter, and Raspberry Chia.

2.) Yesterday, Bobby and I were involved in a wreck. We were rear ended when we were stopping at a red light. Thankfully, my Toyota 4Runner is a beast and while it will need some bumper work, it looks way better than the other ladies car. We were all three in the car and are all thankfully ok (and yes I know I need a new car seat.) But it happened on a day when we had multiple appointments to get to so it just kind of threw a kink in the already stressful afternoon. But cars can be fixed, so we are not worried about that.

3.) Emma Kate had a follow up with the doctor who put her tubes in her ears and he said they looked great! We have to go back again in 6 months but I am so glad we went ahead with the surgery. She was getting infections twice a month and now she has only had two since November.

QOTD: Have you ever been rear ended? What is your favorite KIND bar flavor? Are you planning a Disney trip for 2017?

    I was rear ended several years ago in what was, at the time, my brand new car. I’d only had it for 9 months and was hit while at a light by a guy driving without a license. I think I was only 22 at the time. NOT fun. But having your kid in the car makes it way scarier! I’m glad to drive an SUV now so there’s more room between her and the back of the car if we’re ever hit.

    Sorry to hear about your car accident, but I’m glad to hear that you all are okay. I was involved in a 5 car crash last January (I was the 3rd car in the lineup), and am still dealing with the aftermath of it. Hopefully everything gets resolved relatively quickly for you.

    Glad to hear everyone’s OK. When I was car shopping, my most important aspect was the safety rating and how the front, sides, and back fared in tests. It’s crazy out there.

So went with Simple Modern. 🙌🏼

Their backpack, lunch box, and water bottle combo keeps us both happy: fun colors and styles she loves, and quality this mom can stand behind. Durable, easy to clean, and built to last the full school year (and beyond).

Let kids be kids—but let moms be smart. 😉
