We’re always a fan of a good meal at a good price, at a restaurant whose staff doesn’t roll their eyes when they see kids. Well, we found another gem in our midst. Chipotle Mexican Grill in Hoover is YUMMO!
With a simple menu of basic ingredients, their motto says it all, “A few things, thousands of ways.” We couldn’t have said it better. It’s set up is equally easy keeping the ordering process sweet and simple – quintessential words to a Mommy of a toddler. Here’s how it works: Pick your style (burrito, taco, bol or salad), Start filling, pay. We can handle that on the worst of days, right?
Also, they’re very conscious of their menu items – (featured at some of their locations) their “meats are from animals that are raised naturally without hormones or antibiotics and are fed a vegetarian diet.” Bottom line, we love this company, we love this food. Check it out! BirminghamMommy says it’s A OK!
Oh and one more thing – the service is top notch for a quickie restaurant. We’re not joking about this one. Go see for yourself.
Birthday parties are a big event in our kids’ lives. Finding a delicious and affordable cake is not an easy task. We’ve tried a lot of different options. The best kept secret in the cake world is Louise’s Cakes & Things in Hoover. The cakes are delicious and affordable.
Case in point: I’m slightly neurotic. I wanted my daughter’s first birthday cake to be unique, so I drew a sketch of what I wanted. They not only didn’t laugh at me, but they accepted the challenge and were so excited to show me what they did! And I was excited to see that it was a beautiful 8″ round cake with smash cake in matching colors for only $20!!
Several birthday parties recently have had cakes from Louise’s and everyone has raved about the cakes, asking where they came from and complimenting the decorations.
Louise’s Cake & Things is located in the Village In Lorna Shopping Center
3309 Lorna Road Suite 2
Hoover, Alabama 35216
Phone: 205-823-6799
Join Thomas and friends for a playdate at Toys-R-Us October 11th from 11-1 pm.

So, for luring you and your kids into the store, we’re sure you won’t leave without yet another Thomas collectible, so they’re offering special in-store savings! For more information, click here
