My little Sammy turns seven today. I don’t know how that happened… it doesn’t seem possible that he’s been around that long.
It doesn’t seem possible that he was ever not here.
Sam is a great kid, if I do say so myself. He’s so sweet, and he’s hilarious and kind and fun to be around.
In the past year or so, Sam’s developed an obsession with comic books and super heroes. He and Andy take a trip to the comic book store every week to get the newest editions. Last weekend they went to their first Comic Con.
It’s hard for me to put into words how much I love this kid. I am so grateful for the seven years we’ve had with him. Here’s to many, many more.

Super-geeked-out shopping post ahead!
Last week, coincidentally on my 15th wedding anniversary, a new Fresh Thyme market opened up near me in Centerville!! I had been super-excited about the opening ever since I saw it being built next to one of my most-frequented retailers. Then, the ads for the store started showing up in my Sunday newspaper and I got more excited than ever!
Why? Fresh Thyme, for one, has a HUGE selection of gluten-free items, which, since I am allergic to wheat, I need! Check these out!
Come to mama!
Ok, I am going to stop here before I get too excited about all the amazing products Fresh Thyme has and tell you pretty much THE most important thing you need to know about Fresh Thyme.
It’s a not-secret that I need to make sure you need to know: DOUBLE AD WEDNESDAYS. “What,” you say, “can this be?” Let me tell you friends: quite possibly the greatest invention in the history of sales! You see, Fresh Thyme’s sale ads are EIGHT days long instead of seven. And they start and end on Wednesdays. Which means EVERY Wednesday, you get two shop TWO sale ads. DOUBLE the sales!!! Double-dipping! Double savings! Double Ad Wednesday!
You can probably guess which day of the week I will be frequenting Fresh Thyme. I mean, is that not AMAZING?!?!? I seriously cannot wait to get there tonight to double-dip! This is not an April Fool’s joke, my friends, this is a REAL DEAL! Whoop whoop!
Ok, so back to the amazing products they offer. Here are some other great reasons to shop Fresh Thyme!
Natural meat, raised without hormones
Seafood flown in daily
Hearty breads and delicious treats from local artisan bakeries and hot out of their ovens (which I already posted a pic of above!! So excited!!)
Healthy meals made in their kitchens which are ready to eat on the run
Barrels full of natural and organic bulk foods
Locally roasted organic coffee beans
Aisles of nutritious and delicious groceries
Earth-friendly cleaning supplies
I am super-obsessed with Dr. Bronner’s soap! I’ve never seen this many varieties in one place!
Specialty foods
Grind your own nut butters? Well if you insist!!
Gluten-free and dairy-free options
Plus a whole department filled with vitamins, supplements and pure body care products
So basically, what I am saying here, kiddos, is Fresh Thyme is pretty much the bee’s knees!! If you’re local, you’ve got to get to our new store in Centerville for Double Ad Wednesday to shop two sales at once! I’m going tonight and I can’t wait to get my hands on some gluten-free baked goods, fresh local produce, and Dr. Bronner’s soap. And also, I can’t wait to check out the rows of locally roasted organic coffee beans!!!
