#CrushedIt Giveaway! ($25 Dominick’s Giftcard!)
This giveaway is now over. The winner is Mari. Congrats!
My family and I are always looking for great foods and drinks to try out. Chiquita crushed fruit snack product is one of those drinkable snacks that just hit the spot no matter when you drink here. Here is my shopping trip for my Chiquita crushed fruit snack product:
So what did we think of our Chiquita crushed fruit snack product? I personally loved it. Normally, a strawberry banana mixture is all banana and just a little strawberry. Instead, strawberry was the dominant flavor. Strawberries are my favorite food of all time, so I was happily surprised. I love that after working in the yard for the last couple of days, this was a perfect drinkable snack to cool down with and hydrate with. I enjoyed it quite much and plan on buying more on my next shopping trip!
Chiquita wants to here about how you #CrushedIt this week. Here’s what I did:
First, let me give you a little background. My neighbors put in a fence about 18 months ago. When putting it in, they had to trench and dug up our yard. Since then, we haven’t been able to grow grass their. I had a brilliant idea to put in a flower bed over there and move the ferns that were overtaking the side of my house. (It seemed like a great idea when I started this project). I moved the ferns about 3 weeks ago. On Saturday, I tore out what little grass we did have. On Sunday, we put together the edging we bought (yes, it took all day. They were 6 inches pieces and we had a 100 ft of edging to put in!!!). Here’s what it looked like Sunday night:
On Monday, I added 2 bags of manure, 2 bags of peat moss, and I added top soil to all 100 ft!!!!!! By myself!!!! I then dug out the lily plant looking things I have from where we have rose bushes, and I ran them the entire length. I also planted 7 bags of bulbs, and added 5 flowers we bought at Menards. Here’s what that looks like:
Lastly, I edged our little flower garden by the garage. I added more top soil and planted two colorful lilies. Here’s what that looks like:

Eve’s side of the story
After three weeks in the Garden of Eden, God came to visit Eve. “So,How is everything going?” inquired God.
“It is all so beautiful, God,” she replied.
“The sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking, the smells, the sights, Everything is wonderful, but I have just one problem. It is these Breasts you have given me The middle one pushes the other two out and I am constantly knocking them with my arms, catching them on branches and snagging them on bushes. They are a real pain,” reported Eve.
And Eve went on to tell God that since many other parts of her body came in pairs, such as her limbs, eyes, ears, etc……….she felt that having only two breasts might leave her body more “symmetrically balanced,” as she put it.
“That is a fair point,” replied God, “But it was my first shot at this, you know. I gave the animals six breasts, so I figured that you needed only half of those, but I see that you are right. I will fix it up right away.” And God reached down, removed the middle breast and tossed it into the bushes.
Three weeks passed and God once again visited Eve in the Garden of Eden. “Well, Eve, how is my favorite creation?” “Just fantastic,” she replied, “But for one oversight on your part. You see, all the animals are paired off. The ewe has a ram and the cow has her bull. All the animals have a mate except me. I feel so alone.”
God thought for a moment and said, “You know, Eve, you are right. How could I have overlooked this? You do need a mate and I will immediately create a man from a part of you Now let’s see………..where did I put the useless boob?”
Now doesn’t THAT make more sense than that crap about the rib?
