Yes, the time has come… I will be 35 years old in less than two weeks. I am not sure how this happened; it all goes by so fast. I used to be a “young” mom, now I just look young; I wish I felt more like that.
What plans do I have for the next year?
*Do yoga three days a week.
* Start my own business.
* Go on a trip with my best girl friend.
* Lose 30 pounds
* Get back to school and finish off my AA
* Picnic once a month with my kids
What do I want to stop doing?
* Smoking
* Being lazy
* Getting verbally frustrated
* Being in debt
What do I want for my birthday?
* Frames- So I can get some pictures for my kids up and around the house more.
* Jewelry- Something to decorate this 35 year old body. I am not an expensive type of girl; craftsmanship (Etsy.com) has a lot more to offer than precious stones.
* Weights- So I can work out at home. (2, 5, 10 pounds)
* Clothes- Because I’ve been pregnant for two years, I need something that looks good.
Now, since my birthday is coming up, and I need something cool to do on that day (other than sleep in since I am taking three days off work!), I plan on going to the park with my kids and eating under a tree, and now, I have been given the chance to have a giveaway. My first giveaway, I’m soooo excited!
My favorite green man, Kyle, from Lets Go Green has offered a Picnic Sampler to one of my lucky bloggers. This is a great set that you can take with you on a summer time picnic (many places will have Shakespeare in the Park coming up soon, or outdoor concerts), use for a family BBQ or even just for dinner at night when dishes seem too daunting, it is a set for 50 people. The best part about this is that it's recycled materials, why work so hard saving the environment, if you don't get to enjoy it?
Please go and visit Lets Go Green and look over the products. They are all healthy for our environment, and the cost effectiveness makes starting "green" one step at a time that much easier.

I LOVE fresh homemade salsa. My aunt Karen always brings it. Her recipe is so easy, but it always tastes better when she makes it!!
Good luck with your plans and goals! and Happy Birthday!
I like the desserts, of course. Brownies, cupcakes, watermelon. It all tastes better out in the sun!
thanks!
I like to go grilling as a picnic. So much fun!

I like the potato salad :) on a picnic. Everything however usually somehow tastes better on a picnic.
My favorite picnic food...would have to be all the fruits! Like strawberries or watermelon. Yummo
Fruit salad for sure. It is refreshing & easy to eat while outside!
Deviled Eggs! They remind me of picnics with my grandma.
I've never been on a picnic. So I can't say.
But GOOD LORD on your "to do" list. Seriously - I'm overwhelmed just reading your list!
Gotta be the hot dogs- my favorite!
I've had BBQs and camping and eating while doing something outside and stuff like that. Just no "let's go on a picnic" for the simple plan of only a picnic. Like the plaid picnic basket and whatnot.
Now I feel sad I never went on one.
By the way, I just ~love~ your picture when I see it on comments... with your haircut (which I love) you totally look like a punk rocker. :)
BPA-free Water Bottles in Pink is cute. Favotire picnic food is Chicken!

Pasta salad with feta, artichokes, olives and an italian dressing.

Hand-cranked ice cream is a tradition on our picnics. I don't like the work but the results are priceless!
Nothing beats gelato.
My husband makes an awesome grilled fish with potatoes, and it always make other people around us drool!
My favorites are chicken, macaroni salad and watermelon.
I work in an all organic skin care clinic and am trying my best to go green! I love spinich dip and I love watermelon as picnic foods!

I love pasta salad! Sadly my kids don't like it or I would make it all the time. Honestly though I love all kinds of picnic food - it is my favorite - baked beans, hot dogs and burgers, chips, watermelon = all good!
Fruit, fried chicken, baked beans, and pie. lol. Thanks so much for the opportunity.

Homemade potato salad. I love it! I use my Mom's recipe that everyone loves.
Gee, not sure that there is anything that I dislike. However my favorite would have to be Hamburgers cooked on the grill and definitely fresh homemade potato salad... yum
Oh so totally awesome! I hope you have a happy birthday!! Annnndd...My favorite picnic food has got to be peanut butter and jelly sandwichs. (yes, this is why i named my shop this) Because pb&j is still my favorite. I love it on a picnic because it's been in the cooler and the peanut butter has gotten cold and it's just all around yummy! : )
Hi,
My favorite picnic food is hot dogs. dengeorge@yahoo.com
Watermelon. And cookies taste better when they're eaten outside.
Ham, cheese and fresh baguette
Burgers of course. Followed by watermelon!
cold lemonade with a turkey sandwich with avacado in it
ham and turkey with swiss on whole wheat sandwich, Mac Salad and Fresh Fruit Salad! YUM!
kenzkween at hotmail dot com
Oh! I recently found the yummiest picnic sandwich recipe in Vegetarian Times. It's got goat cheese (or cream cheese), roasted red peppers, olive tapenade, arugula, and marinated artichokes on ciabatta bread.
watermelon rules! I see I'm not the only one who thinks so :-)

Any food eaten out-of-doors tastes better than eaten inside four walls, but my favorite picnic food is the typical: fried chicken,and macaroni salad!
