Museum Trip

It was such a magical day for me at the Henry Ford museum. On display were the costumes of the Disney heroes and villains.  We had so much fun there from seeing planes to cars to learning about history. We even got to ride a Model T at Greenfield Village.

Birthday Party

 Yesterday, I hosted a Birthday Party for the hubby. It wasn't much, but it was something. He turned 33 this year and he did not expect it to occur. He never expected it to be a party thrown for him, he thought we were going to the apple orchard. He had no idea we were going to his grandma's house for a surprise birthday party. Even when we arrived and I told him Happy Birthday and everyone else told him Happy Birthday he didn't think the party was for him. He was so happy. He got to spend time with some family. There was a tiny incident with dinner plans. It was supposed to be a BBQ. It turned out to be just ordering Pizza from Jets Pizza. There was cake and cheesecake though. We were all looking forward to the hotdogs and burgers, sadly. We found out that hubby's mannerisms are all from his father, including the temper. He got in an argument with the lady on the phone trying to take the pizza order.  

Sick Fish Dilemma

Image
My poor betta fish Pudding is sick. We think the coconut hut we had in his tank made him sick or he might have just overrate.  We got him some treatment from the petstore for his tank but he looks way worse this morning. Maybe its the medication working.  Hopefully he gets better. It could be the filter is getting bad too and just not keeping the tank as clean either. It was making a weird sound after we cleaned out his tank. 

Review of: 🌧️ 𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘣𝘪𝘤 🌧️

This song hits so deep. Some days I like to go out in public, but some days, I just want to hide away. I have such high anxiety and get depressed over situations I know I shouldn't. We are not all okay.  I know I probably don't have agoraphobia, but I do get anxious in very crowded places and I do get stressed easily. Sometimes, just listening to music like this will just let me drift away and let me not forget that I am not alone in my world. I always feel so alone.  Depression is a problem for a lot of people. Some of us are just easier at hiding it than others. My hubby just said to me the other day, "I've never seen you react like that before though." I told him that I have had to learn to hide my pain well. Some of us just don't show our physical reactions in front of others.  Please seek medical help if depression comes too severe. Music Therapy can only do so much 🎶🎵

Review of: Animal Crossing New Horizons - Features Nintendo REMOVED Since Launch!

Image
OMG I couldn't agree more with this video! I didn't realize they removed the hybrid islands!!!! Why didn't I notice it before 😢 I spent so many nook mile tickets!!!!  Then they took away the amiibo banter from the ATM come on Nintendo what were you thinking!!!! Nature Day? I guess I was late getting the game, because I didn't even get to participate! I'm so sad now 😭 I would rather of had a nature day as well, forget the annoying museum event and the wedding event. Upgrading the museum was part of the fun. I knew it was slightly less challenging for my kiddo when he got his stuff.  I wish you could have multiple islands. At the beginning of Animal Crossing New Horizons, I feel that the islands available were bigger land sizes. After a few updates they made them smaller for new players.  Then you have shorter and longer docks, which made fishing harder. I'm thoroughly convinced that the docks were shorter permanently after updates as well. 

Natural Casings for Hot Dogs

Image
  The last hope for a good Coney Dog in my area. Everything else has went to skinless and tasteless franks. Thankfully Leo's Coney Island is still living up to a good Coney Dog. They use local Koegel's brand from Flint Michigan Coney franks that are spectacular. They have that perfect snap that has you going back for more. If you go to the Waterford Township location on Wednesday nights they even have a magician to entertain the guests.  We went yesterday for a late lunch. Sadly our little man was having a rough day and didn't enjoy himself. Our poor waitress was exhausted it seemed. She did great! The booth behind the hubby were horrible customers, I felt so bad for our waitress. They demanded refunds for missing bacon and different food after they had ate their food they already had. The waitress went and got them more food and removed the charge for the bacon. I'm sorry the pita bread you had wasn't the pita bread you like. I mean Subway no longer has the flatbre...

Fathers Day/Hubby's Birthday

Image
Yesterday was quite a surprise for the Hubby. I got him his Digiorno Fully Stuffed pizza he has been waiting for since the release announcement. I made him a Triple Chocolate Fudge Birthday Cake with Chocolate Fudge frosting. I may have overrate last night. I'm not feeling too well but it was well worth it to make his day a little better. I told him no chores...but then he unloaded the dishwasher. So much for being his day to relax. At least he got a score of his favorite candy, Sour Patch Kids. If you want to find this amazing tasting frozen pizza you will have to make a trip to Target where it is the only carrier I have found to have it. I had to use Instacart to sneakily bring it home, but I got it there without him finding out. Muwahaha 

Lasagna Night

Image
 Last night we ended up trying this. Normally, I like to make lasagna homemade but it has been a rough week on the family, so we decided to get something to just quickly throw in the oven. Hubby ended up making it in the oven while I ended up taking a quick nap after work 💀 Unfortunately, it wasn't a hit with the kiddo. He compared the ricotta cheese to the consistency of mashed potatoes. The adults in the household did not agree with that conclusion. Family size is quite small, so I suggest with a family size of more than 3 to get the bigger version. We also purchased a  Cole's Garlic Mini Loaf to go along with it. They are on sale at Meijer right now. 🙋

Review of: 10 SUMMER FAST FOOD HACKS That Will Save You Money!

Image
01 use common sense when finding the best deal for apps, even time of day can matter for pizza places, and always remember outsourced apps i.e. doordash and grubhub typically upcharge prices for pizza places, so it is always best to order around. 02 best deal from wendys is still and always will be their 4 for 4 and similar combo grabs, don’t fall for this sandwich deal when you can get more for your buck and feed more for your household 03 Great hack, but kids would like the toy, so more than likely I’d just request them to add the little ice cream to the order, but adding the oreo crumbs for an upcharge, I’m not sure I like the price 04 That’s a great bargain! I’ve never ate there, but it would be worth it with that hack! Good Point Be Nice! ☮ 05 I love me some Jimmy Johns!   Everyone buys day old bread from grocery stores anyway so that’s perfect to know. Subway Deals too!!! What a great video this is turning out to be. With this hot summer, and not wanting to cook ind...
