I’m going to give one to my son’s teacher along with an Amazon Gift Card to buy their own books. I’ll have him sign the inside cover so she remembers who it is from.

Each week I will be sharing a different photo, something that throws me right back into the little moments of joy that my kids create. Something that reminds me. My kids were here.
If you don’t know, I have two boys ages 2 and 4. Their favorite activities are wrestling, fighting, wrestling and fighting, yelling, screaming, spitting, playing “bad guys”, hunting for bears (yes, you read that right) and chasing dinosaurs. Everything at our house is loud and busy and smelly and sometimes a little rambunctious.
They created a game called “Underwear”, where the only rules are that they have to punch each other and yell Underwear! as loud as possible. They also created a game called “Snatcher and Catcher”, but I have yet to figure out the rules to that one. There is a lot of pushing.
However, even outlaws and “bad guys” have to take potty breaks. It only makes sense to take the gun with you, just in case things get a little out of control.
Question of the Day: Is this just a boy thing? Are they born with the need to get all sweaty and crazy and violent? What are your kids favorite games to play together?
If you have a photo you would like to share, go ahead and send the photo to me at beautifulfrugallife {at} gmail {dot} com with the subject title “My Kids Were Here”. Please include a paragraph or two letting us know what the photo means to you or what moment it represents.

This is one of my husband’s favorite dishes. You can buy pre-made cajun seasoning or you can make your own. This would make a great father’s day meal if your hubby likes spicy dishes!
Ingredients:
1/2 pound linguine pasta
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, sliced into thin strips
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
1/4 cup butter
2 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
8 fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 green onion, minced
1 1/2 cups half & half
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add linguini pasta, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
Meanwhile, place chicken and Cajun seasoning in a bowl, and toss to coat.
Depending on how much you are making, you may need to use two skillets for the following steps: In a large skillet over medium heat, saute chicken in butter until no longer pink and juices run clear, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add green and red bell peppers, sliced mushrooms and green onions; cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat, and stir in half & half. Season the sauce with basil, lemon pepper, salt, garlic powder and ground black pepper, and heat through.
In a large bowl, toss linguini with sauce. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

Bloomspot has a great deal for Lunchbox Laboratory today: Snag a $40 voucher for just $20. They have locations in both South Lake Union (Seattle) and Bellevue. This is one of our favorite hamburger spots in town.
We have eaten at both locations and they are both amazing. The food is really good and I love the vibe. It’s fun for dates and for taking kids. It’s pretty hard to resist a truffle burger with sweet potato fries!

Is your family obsessed with Duck Dynasty? We love that it’s hilarious and kid friendly enough to all watch it together. Both of the seasons available on DVD are currently less than $10. This would make a great Father’s Day gift!
For Mother’s Day, my family got me the first two seasons of Duck Dynasty. They also took me out to BBQ for lunch. It wasn’t your standard flowers and brunch. When I laughed about how cool I was for going to BBQ, my six-year-old stated, “Only weird moms don’t have BBQ and watch Duck Dynasty on Mother’s Day.” Ha!
What’s your favorite Duck Dynasty quote? Mine is when Miss Kay says, “You aren’t a proper woman until you own a goat or two.” I’m using her argument to try and convince my husband we need some urban farm animals.

Amazon has this 20-ounce Blender Bottle in Black marked down to just $5.99! These generally run anywhere between $7 and $10 each.
We use these every day at the gym, so I was searching for a deal to pick up a few extra and found this. Great price! They work great. I just throw in my water, protein powder and ice and shake. Super simple.

6PM.com is running a fantastic sale on sandals from Reef, Roxy and Sanuk. I found TONS of great prices on high quality stuff. You can easily search by gender, color, style and more. I have flip flops from both Reef and Sanuk and they are by far the most comfortable casual shoes I own. They are a little more spendy than those $1 flip flops you find at Old Navy, but well worth it for the comfort and style.
They also have some cute styles for kids, some as low as $8.99!
