~Good morning!! It’s pretty steamy here in Michigan, but we can’t complain because we wish for this kind of weather when it’s 10 degrees out and snowing. B’s still at his school and the boys and I are just trying to pack all the fun in summer we can. Our goal is to do something fun every day. It can be as little as going out for ice-cream. Just something. So far this week we’ve been swimming twice, had lunch at Costco (they think this is fun) and went to the Cider Mill. They have camp today (I think it’s a DJ Glow Dance Party there today) and then tomorrow we are headed to Build-A-Bear to (hopefully) make Pokemon guys!
~I know we have talked about the Nordstrom sale, but what about the Athleta Semi-Annual Sale? What do they have that you love? I picked up a pullover from thredUP, which is fantastic, but what else do you recommend?
~Speaking of love, ALDI! I finally went and checked it out. My haul came to…. $19.77. That’s it. I know everyone says it’s cheap, but wow. So far we’ve tried the bagels and whipped cream cheese, the frozen fruit bars, the fizzy drinks and the milk. No complaints at all! I am impressed. You all have given me a bunch of recommendations for next time too!
~Has anyone gotten their hands on Trader Joes canned wine? Unlike ALDI, which is super close, Trader’s Joes is not. I don’t want to drive 30 minutes just to pick up meh wine ;), but something is telling me it’s probably really good and will be sold out past???
That’s it from here. Have a great weekend!
I have to say – I wasn’t a fan of the Aldi ice cream pints (like you show in the pic). It was not Ben and Jerry’s…. it was just ok. BUT — go back and buy their organic coconut oil, and use that instead of vegetable oil when you make those brownies !! Trust me…. excellent ! They also have the best prices for marshmallows and “crispy rice” cereal if you want to make treats !!
Totally agree about the ice cream pints.
You guys are right! It tasted almost icy? Not creamy.
I will grab the coconut oil next time!!!!
Kind of related to your food post…did you see the new limited edition Pringles flavor? Top Ramen Chicken! So strange, but we really liked them. The only place we’ve been able to find them is Dollar General.
No, but now I want to find them. They sound oddly good.
Aldi has the best chips, but I always forget about shopping there. I literally pass one every single day too.
I will grab some next time!!
I love Athleta. It’s so great. I love everything. Especially the Bettona jeggings.
Hopefully, I can find them on sale!!!
