Wordless Wednesday: Atlanta Aquarium

24 Comments 24 August 2010

We kind of planned our recent trip on the fly and decided to spend two nights in Atlanta. Thanks to some suggestions and feedback on The Shopping Mama Facebook page, we decided to spend a morning at the Atlanta Aquarium. It was awesome! We had a great time and the kids are still talking about it.

Here are two of my favorite pictures of the kids enjoying the “feeeesh!”

I look forward to seeing your photos!

Make Sandwiches Fun: Sandwich Cutters for Kids

2 Comments 24 August 2010

I almost always pack sandwiches for my kids’ lunches because it’s quick, easy and practical. And, it’s one food they will always eat. But, they I’m excited to buy some sandwich cutters to make their lunches a little more exciting – while keeping it simple for me.

Now, The purpose of Ten Dollar Tuesday is to highlight affordable ways to get your shop up for $10 and under. I wanted to share some fun sandwich cutters and most are sold in packs that total over $10 – but I figure you are really getting a set so this post can still qualify, right? Good. Here’s an assortment of some of the sandwich cutters to make lunch fun.

Love the sweet and simple heart shapes from the SweetBytes Sandwich Crust Cutter ($3.79 on Amazon).

The same company offers roar-ful sandwich dinosaur shapes in the DynoBytes Sandwich Crust Cutter ($4.50 on Amazon).

The set of four Animal Lunch Punch ($14.00 on The Land of Nod) offers a variety of fun for little ones. I love the shapes within the shapes – like the mini elephant and mama elephant.

And new from Lunch Punch, the vrrrRMM!! Lunch Punch ($13.95 on fawn&forest) set has car, airplane, truck and train and is designed for larger sized bread. Love this set!
