What I'm Lovin' {3/15}

Here are the things I am currently loving! 

 1. I am loving the signs of Spring. We had quite the snowstorm earlier this week, but it melted and the week has turned out nicely. I have been working on my indoor Spring decor and decided to add in fresh flowers. I love them! I also came up with a fun new way to display them and I'll be sharing that tutorial next week on I Heart Naptime.

 2. Toy Storage Overhaulin'-I know this isn't looking very pretty, but I found some great totes in several sizes that stack to help me overhaul our toy storage. (got the totes at walmart) I can't wait to show you our before and after soon! I feel like toys were overtaking our home and they would just get scattered so I think we came up with a reasonable space saving solution.  

 3. Low fat cottage cheese and fruit-I know to some people this must seem gross. I think you either love cottage cheese or hate it, but I have really been enjoying it as a snack with fruit. I think my favorite is usually mangoes or pineapple, but I just use what fruit I have on hand. Its been my go-to snack this past week.

4. Kids Birthdays- What can I say, there is just something special about kids birthdays...and I especially love this kid. :)

 

 What are you currently loving? Also, would anyone be interested if I put a link party button below and you could link up your what I'm lovin' posts? It wouldn't take the place of Crafty Tuesday link party but would show up the same so you could link up to this series if you were interested in doing a 'what I'm lovin' post on your blog. Let me know if you're interested, it would be a fun way for me to see what you're all currently loving!

Celebrating "Pi" Day with pie!

Did you all know that March 14th is Pi day? A holiday celebrating mathematics? My husband and son are all over this, they love math. They may or may not sit around the dinner table during dinner quizzing each other about math facts. :) (While I sit and roll my eyes, lol) I may not love math but if celebrating Pi Day involves eating pie...then I'm all in! Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th around the world and what better way to celebrate then with a pie from Marie Callender's? There are so many selections and types to choose from you're bound to find one (or many) your family will love.

March 14th is also a special day in our house because it is my son's birthday. We had an unofficial birthday celebration last week with cousins, aunts & uncles, and grandparents while we were on Spring Break but we still planned to celebrate with our small little family of 3 tomorrow. Well, guess what my 7 year old chose for his birthday cake. You guessed it, he requested a Marie Callender's chocolate satin pie. I was pretty surprised, the kid is usually all about fancy custom made cakes by mom. I do have to say I will enjoy sitting back and relaxing with pie this birthday. :) 

I was secretly hoping he would choose the coconut cream (my favorite) but I guess since its his birthday we'll let him choose his favorite. :) I can't really blame him, this pie is so delicious and rich with the perfect creamy whipped topping and those yummy chocolate shavings on top.

  I think our favorite part was the chocolate cookie crust. It was the perfect complement to the creamy pie filling.

We know how we will be celebrating Pi Day, and you can join us in celebrating with your family by using this coupon for $1.50 off a Marie Callender's frozen pie at national retailers (coupon expires March 31, 2013). You can also rate and review any Marie Callender's product or just head over and get party ideas, how-to's, and more at the Marie Callender's Blog.
