The kids are back in school. By the time my boys get home from school they’re “starving”. Yes they eat lunch in school but I know some of the lunch times are early like 11:15 early so they are hungry by the time they get home.
We have a routine, they know that homework comes first so they do that. They’re supposed to empty out their backpacks and give me any papers they brought home, then put their book bags away. They usually want a snack while they do their homework and I can’t blame them. It’s hard to concentrate if you’re hungry.
Farm Rich has two new snacks that you can heat up for your kids after school. The two newest flavors to hit the freezer at your grocery store are Toasted Ravioli and Crispy Dill Pickles. My boys love stuff like this and so do I because it’s a quick easy snack that’s filling.
I really wanted to try the Crispy Dill Pickles and stood at the freezer in Walmart debating on which one to try. I ended up choosing the Toasted Raviolis though because I was fairly certain everyone would like those.
Oh my these were so good. They were cheesy inside and kinda reminded me of mozzarella sticks. They were great with some sauce to dip on the side. My boys all enjoyed them too.
Yummy, now I can’t wait to try the Crispy Dill Pickles. So interested to see how the flavor turns out.

I’m writing this from my iPhone so it will be short. Lightening fried our cable modem and I am temporarily without Internet or home phone service. We have the cable people coming tomorrow to hopefully fix the issue.

I’ve always used disposable diapers but there was a small part of me that felt guilty. Like maybe I should try cloth diapers. Cloth diapers just seemed like a lot of work to me (I know there are many that will disagree and that’s ok). They also just didn’t seem feasible for overnight trips and vacations. Bambo Nature diapers is a nice option for me.
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

My husband and I have been talking a lot about vehicles lately. We are a family of 6 now with 2 little ones in car seats. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts I have a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica. It seats all 6 of us quite comfortably and has been a very good vehicle. I love it for the winter here in PA. The biggest issue I have is when all 6 seats are up there is very little trunk space in the back. This is not good for things like grocery shopping (because we normally go as a family), and trips that require some packing. In fact, since we had my daughter we have to take two separate cars for all of us to go. I don’t mind, grocery shopping is something we enjoy doing as a family but I have to consider the cost of gas and the fact that we can’t all ride together all the time if we have to take any type of load with us.
I really want a Chevy Traverse. When we bought our Pacifica, I had looked at them but the Traverse was still pretty new on the market and a bit out of our price range even for a used one. I know they’re supposed to seat something like 7 or 8 people and they seem like they’d be good in the winter as well. I’ve seen a few around town but don’t really know someone that has one that I could talk to about it.
Philadelphia’s Reedman Toll Auto Group has a big selection of Chevy Traverse. They actually have 4 in their pre-owned inventory that would be a little more comfortable for our budget. I’m eyeballing this one in particular. This picture is from the Reedman Toll page and is linked to the listing for credit purposes.
