Kevin and I have a hard time passing by things that look interesting along the road when we are going on a trip. So, when we saw a giant candle next to the freeway on our drive to Indianapolis, we made a mental note to stop and check it out when we were on our way back home again.
This is how we ended up at the Warm Glow Candle Company store.
We smelled all of their wonderful scented candles.
Each and every type was Lex's favorite. And I was very proud of him, because he didn't try to eat any of the candles, even though some of them smelled like food. I guess he has finally learned his lesson.
Sidebar: Did I ever tell you about our last few trips to Bath & Body Works? Lex tried to eat a bunch of candles and soap around Christmas time. Nana and I were opening the various bottles to sniff, and Lex kept trying to stick his tongue in them. Then, a few weeks later, I was in the store again with just Connor and Lex. Connor remembered opening the bottles with Nana and I, so he opened a bottle of Chocolate Mint hand soap. By the time I saw what they were doing, Lex was sitting in the stroller, covered in Chocolate Mint hand soap. I basically had to give him a bath in the little sink that they always have Bath & Body Works stores. Then I had to wipe down the stroller and buy the remainder of the bottle of hand soap. Oddly enough, it still hasn't run out, even though we have had it for months and it wasn't even full when we brought it home. It's the never-ending Chocolate Mint soap. End Sidebar.
Connor's favorite were the Fruit Punch candles. He picked out just one little candle and a candle holder to put it in. Then, he decided to put it right on the kitchen island when we got home so that everyone could enjoy it at the same time. So sweet, that one is. The little guy and the Fruit Punch candle.
Kevin picked out Orange Stardust. I chose Lemon Verbena. They go really well together in the spa candle-garden holder that we have in our master bathroom.
Moral of the story? Stop and smell the candles!

I actually thought of you when we were at this store - I think you would have really liked just about everything inside.
