Ahoy There Matey’s!

Shiver me timbers and avast me hearties, tomorrow is National Talk Like a Pirate Day.

I am not a big fan of pirates but I thought it might be fun to incorporate some pirate-y things into our day. Maybe a treasure hunt or a scouring of the poopdeck. We could all make eye patches and use only one hand, since the other one would be a hook.

This would actually be a great opportunity to work on directions (north, south, east, west) while you hunt for a treasure.

If nothing else you can all sing The Pirates the Don’t Do Anything song and enjoy some pirate pancakes for breakfast.

Product Review and Giveaway

Last week I was sent a package of Weight Watchers Golden Sponge Cakes to taste and review. My kids were super excited about this taste test because normally I do not buy packaged snacks. But I could not pass up some free treats so I agreed to try these cakes.

The first thing I checked was the size. These snack cakes are only one point on the Weight Watchers plan. Usually, items that are diet foods are the size of a thimble and leave me wanting seventeen more to feel full. These cakes were decent sized and looked exactly like they did on the front of the box, another plus.

As for the taste, they were surprisingly good. After opening them up, I expected a twinkie chemical taste but there was none. These tasted like a cross between pound cake and angel food cake. They were very sweet and I was satisfied after eating only one. My kids loved them too.
I think these would be a great on the go treat, or if you are on Weight Watchers these would make a great dessert.
If you would like to try some of these Weigh Watchers cakes for free leave me a comment. I have three coupons for one free package of Weight Watchers Snack Cakes, Muffins or Soft Cookies.

I will randomly pick three winners at the end of the week. Remember to leave an email address so I can contact you if you win.

Why I do not have a Frugal Friday Post

I was planning on starting the weekend off with a frugal tip, but instead I spent the night in the ER. Nothing broken, just one heck of a shiner that is sure to get worse as time goes on.

and it is getting worse. This little guy earned a day off of school today. His only assignment is to sit still and ice his eye!

His collision with a teammate happened just moments after he was made defensive team captain! Motrin and ice for the next few days and he can return to the field in time for his next game.
