Hell has frozen over.
He’s pretending he doesn’t like it (nice frown!). But, oh yes, yes he does. He likes it very much.
No cat nip required!
I turned to Eric and I said….oh…my…GOD…look!
(Nice tongue!)
This photo above and the fact that he loves his bed pretty much made my week. :D What could top this?!

Yesterday turned out to be quite a productive day. Eric and I ran some errands, cleaned the kitchen top to bottom, organized our office, and cleaned the back hallway. We also worked on the online shopping cart and added the FAQ page. Check it out if you haven’t read it on the website yet!
Last night I got caught up on my lack of sleep too! I went to bed around 9:45pm and slept until about 8am. Holy moly!!!!!! I guess I was tired. I am trying to mentally prep myself for my long run today (12-13 miles) and it may be my last long run like this before my half marathon (which is just 13 days away!!!).

I received an email from a reader named Sarah this weekend. Sarah took the plunge and tried making my Vegan Peanut Butter and Jam Glo Bites.
Here are some more pictures from when I made them that I didn’t have time to share with you in my previous post:
So gooey and delicious!!!!!!!!!
Drooling yet?

I just made the PB + J Glo Bites.. and delicious doesn’t even BEGIN to describe how good they are.
Although I’ve always been very happy with your recipes, I must admit, i was skeptical; pb and j sandwich ? mmm. pb and j in a cute little tart? ehh, cute idea, not so sure.
ALL my original worries were totally wrong. These are AMAZING and one of my new fav recipes. Plus, they’re easy, look adorable, and are easy to transport (ie work school road)
thanks for another one for my recipe file!!!!
Thanks Sarah!
Want to make these yourself but don’t have any nut butter? Well, read on for a huge giveaway!

Recently, my friend and her husband opened up their own business called Baby Enchanted.
Baby Enchanted is an upscale retail website specializing in the most luxurious and unique products for babies and toddlers.

Whether you are looking to design an entire nursery from scratch or you need that extra special baby shower gift, Baby Enchanted’s exquisite selection of items from celebrity go-to designers will enable you to find the perfect item every time."
Because Bree is such a fabulous gal, she wants to do a fun contest giveaway featuring one of the food blogosphere’s favourite treats- Barney Butter! And guess what Canadians? She is even opening it up for you as well! As you may know, Barney Butter is not sold in Canada (to my knowledge!).

I will also be doing another product review for Project Natural Glow. :)
Awesine giveaway! That store looks so adorable, and although I don’t have kids I can’t resist perusing through baby stuff. I love the blue damask blanket, such pretty colors and pattern, and also gender neutral.
Cute stuff!
I love the blue bamboo and silk lovie! I became a fan of them on FB!
i like the a star is born rocker! i became a fan on facebook!
The babycakes are adorable and so fun. This is an awesome give away! Hope to be trying Barney Butter for the first time soon. :)
I also tweeted the giveaway (kakcardinal)
Holy wow – Blue Victorian Playhouse. Umm I would have lived there as a child. :)
I also love the Allegro Cradle — I love the beautiful simplicity. :)
Oh my gooosh, everything on there is adorable! I love the Adelaide basket. [mostly because I plan on naming my daughter Adelaide. haha.] I also love everything in the Eco-Friendly & Personalized tabs! My friends are starting to get married // pregnant, so I foresee lots of baby shower gifts in the future!
What a great site! I love the baby tutu and crystal T set so darling! I also tweeted about this amazing giveaway!
I have a soft spot for bedding of all types. Who could not love the aspine crib bedding? Classy and gorgeous.
wow – all that stuff is so cute! I love it! I think my favorite is the bing cherry outfit, or the diaper bags! Once I’m ready to have kids, I’ll definitely be heading back there :)
no twitter…sorry :( I don’t use it. And I don’t use all the facebook applications.
Hi Megan
Becoming a fan on facebook (thankfully) doesn’t require you to allow an application to access your information. It isn’t an application, it’s just being a fan of a page. :-)

I absolutely adore the pirate high top shoes! I mean baby shoes in general are cute, but THOSE have got to be the cutest things I’ve ever seen! It makes me wish someone close to me would have a baby boy so I could get them for him hahaa.
I love the Celery & Yellow Martini Eco-Chic Sling and they look so cozy for the baby too! I also love all of the clothes, so cute!
All of my close friends have infants or toddlers now, so I loved the WHOLE SITE. Very cool. I completed all three (just became a fan on Facebook too!) … and while I had trouble choosing, I loved the look and eco-friendliness of the “Green by DE” Messenger Diaper Bag. I admit it is a bit out of my budget for gifting though … so, I may default to the Chocolate Ice Clara bag. Also nice.
Baby Enchanted is great! I seem to be buying baby gifts once a week these days and I will definitely visit their site more often. I love the Bambino brag book and the three piece gift sets. They are all so practical for gifts.
I’m gonna be a Godmother soon (!!!!!) and I want to get my little girl the Ashlyn bedding… I just emailed the momma to see if she approved :)
Monkey Magoo and Blankie Too pretty much just rocked my world. This is a great website…I’m bookmarking for future use! :)
Thank you for bookmarking us! :-D

I like Anton The Bear In Churchill he is very cute.
Those PB& J bites look so mouth watering!
They make me miss kindergarten :/
I love the English Cottage Playhouse! They are so small and adorable!
Oh my, the crib bedding (Ashlyn) is beautiful. When I have babies someday, this is how I want them to sleep! In pure beauty! :)
You’re right, no Barney butter here in Canada.
Do I really have to pick just one? WOW – thank you for sharing that site! I am loving the firefighter themed items. I can’t really pick just one. I love the toy chest, the antique fire truck pedal car, and the firefighter rocker!
I don’t see anywhere that they ship to Canada… I hope they do! I could really do some Christmas shopping on there. What fun creative stuff! I LOVE unique toys and stuff for my son!
I joined the FB fan page – are their updates there when new products arrive?
Hi Dee!
Thanks so much for the compliments! Right now we’re only shipping to the 48 continental states. We hope to eventually ship internationally. The thing that we have to sort out is that some of our suppliers/designers that ship products directly to our customers (especially products that are custom made upon ordering) do not ship internationally. Our goal is to have items made and waiting in a warehouse so that we can ship those ourselves to anywhere in the world. Of course, that is hard to do right off the bat – we have only been open about 3 months. We do have some suppliers/designers that ship internationally now though, so feel free to email me if you see something you want in the future and I will gladly manually enter your order if your item can be shipped to Canada. :-)

(And yes, FB, our blog (in the works) and Twitter (also coming soon), along with the front page of our site will showcase updates and new items!)
Okay so I visted Baby Enchanted and I really love the Anton The Bear In Churchill bear … too cute!!!
I`ve also become a fan of Baby Enchanted on Facebook :)
