Check out our hot finds and our blog to see our recent must haves. Since we are kid and pet lovers you will see items from across the board displayed on our website. My weaknesses are girlie girl things; pink, glittery and sparkles! As my daughter says "the brighter the better".
I am a Libra, definitely a Libra!! I am a little like a balloon, as Amy will say and I want balance in EVERYTHING! I want everyone to be happy and I want everyone to love me but I would have never got the "country-style" highchair! LOL! I gotta give the girl credit. Once you read her story you will understand.
We have been able to do lots of great things together, we balance each other quite nicely and the best thing is that we both have the same ideas and dreams. We both want our kids to grow up happy & healthy in a better world : )

Okay guys, I just turned 30 (RAWR! I’m a Leo) and for the first time in 9 years I allowed my husband to tell the servers at the restaurant that it was my birthday. You only turn 30 once right? How bad can it be?? BIG MISTAKE PEOPLE! BIG MISTAKE!! First off I had never eaten at this restaurant so I had no clue as what to expect. I couldn’t say no to going here, my son Jovan who is six, picked it. I also have another son Christian who is 12 and a daughter Alani who is four. His main reason for picking this particular restaurant was because he had a Free Kids Meal token left over from his last day of school. Selfish little child, only thinking of himself! LOL! So we all piled into the vehicle and off we went. Upon arrival I noticed a LARGE barrel of peanuts near the entrance. Various people dig in and get peanuts, crack them and dump the shells on the floor. Country music was blaring and the servers were dressed as Super Hero’s. I was really not prepared for all of this. I thought we would be going somewhere a little nicer for my milestone birthday. Needless to say the kids were having a great time. What kid doesn’t want to throw food or trash on the floor and not get yelled at??
Thankfully the food was pretty good, a lot of grilled items with lots of barbeque sauce. My favorite was the loaded baked potato. I LOVE baked potatoes and this one was LOADED!! Sour cream, butter, cheese and bacon all on my potato! I gladly welcomed the 2000 calories to my hips, thighs and stomach. I ate a lot of appetizers so when my plate finally arrived I wasn’t that hungry, but who could pass up that potato??
About halfway through my dinner I notice our server pulling what appears to me to be a “country-style” high chair. The base looks like a regular wooden high chair from any restaurant, but on top there is a saddle, a REAL saddle. I thought, “What a cute way for the little ones to eat their food!” Here is where it starts to go downhill fast! She is pulling that thing to our table!! “No way” I’m thinking. Sure enough she stops right in front of our table and pats the saddle and tells me to get on. First I almost choke on my mouthful of baked potato that I had so thoroughly been enjoying, and then I say “What??” So she repeats herself and tells me to get on, it’s my birthday so I have to. “Oh no I don’t!! I don’t have to and you can’t make me! I am an adult!” All of this is running through my head but none of it is coming out of my mouth. Probably because there is still a LOAD of potato in there!
After some “encouragement” from my husband and three kids, some other wonderful patrons thought they would “encourage” me too by chanting “Get on! Get on!” There is no need for a mirror; I am a full 20 shades of red. Totally embarrassed! I caved…I got on and held my bowl full of vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce. Once I am planted on this saddle our server announced VERY loudly, “ATTENTION GUESTS!! We are celebrating Amy’s 21st birthday!! (thank GOD she didn’t say 30) On the count of three let’s all give her a big YEE-HAW!!” Sure enough the WHOLE place erupts in a YEE-HAW!!
I have NEVER been so embarrassed in all my life! I am shooting daggers at my husband and he is grinning like a Cheshire cat. I could just kill him! So I learned a valuable lesson. Next year we will go where I want to go and NO ONE is telling anyone anything!
I hope you enjoy our site,
Amy
