This is one turkey I'd pardon

Save the monkeys - eat more cookies
I kinda love everything about Late July snacks. I love that they're organic and free of HFCS and all that other garbage. I love that they're charitably-minded. I love that the company is run by a mom who even sneaks pictures of her kids into all the labels

Bowling night
Ever since we got a Nintendo Wii, my kids have been hooked on bowling. Okay, try completely obsessed. But I figured instead of having them beg to play the virtual version every day, they could do the real thing right at home.

Mother necklaces that pay homage to mother earth too
When my son handed me a gorgeous handmade bird necklace for my 29th birthday this year (heh), I had no idea what cool people were behind it. But now that I've gotten to know more about Asheville's Elijah and Rhonda Wyman of Figs & Ginger, I can't shut up about this nature-loving company.
