FabKids

From Holly: I recently received my first FabKids outfit. I like the dress and the pants. The dress is really comfy. I'm hoping to wear it sometime soon.

Note from Mom: I received a special offer from FabKids to order a "free" outfit (I still had to pay shipping and handling, which was around $5). As Holly's wardrobe currently consists of a great deal of very casual or very fancy outfits, I decided to take advantage of the offer and order something in the "middle."

In order to receive the free outfit, I did need to register for the VIP program. In this program, FabKids sends outfit selections on the first of the month. You can either choose an outfit or "opt out" for the month. If you do not make a choice or opt out by the 5th, the site will charge you for the month, but it will be credited to your account, and you can use that credit later in the store. You can also cancel your membership in the VIP program at any time.

The clothes seem to be very good quality. If they wash well and hold up after Holly wears them a few times, I will probably order another outfit or two from the site.

Kimchi Fried Rice

Hi, this is Holly! Today I made kimchi fried rice. It was yummy. On a scale of one to ten, I would give it seven. I made it as a school project. I was studying Korea, and I decided to make the recipe. I used spicy kimchi, so I would suggest some water to drink with it. LOL

Note from Mom: Taylor and I both ate a nice size helping of this recipe and enjoyed it. (Dad is out of town, so he missed out.) Holly is a very picky eater, so for her to give the dish a seven is pretty amazing...considering it included, gasp!, vegetables!! We used Spicy Wakame Ginger Kimchi from Farmhouse Culture in the recipe. Here's a link to the recipe we used:

The only change we made was to mix the eggs into the entire dish instead of frying them and serving on top. If you decide to give it a try, let us know what you think in the comments!!
