Custom Twin Shirt Giveaway!

I'll admit I never wanted twins.  It just seemed too overwhelming.  It was wished on me more than once and every time I said "No way!"  I'm the one that felt guilty when I told a mom that maybe she was pregnant with "one of each" because her son and daughter wanted a boy and a girl.  She ended up with twin boys.  Twins are not easy, but I'm glad I have my sweet twin boys.  Well they aren't always sweet, but twins are a whole new experience that you just don't quite get with singletons. It's double the crazy and double the love.  Now, I wish twins on everyone!  :)

I've loved seeing twin shirts and decided to make my own. I'm still new at making them and don't sell them, but thought I'd giveaway a set to another twin mom.  I have a navy blue 2t shirt set or a red 3t shirt set available to giveaway.  I'm willing to negotiate the shirt size etc and design, but they will take a little longer to ship.  I can also change the design a bit.  Ie Pink dinosaurs for girls.  I may be open to a new design as well.

Ozeri Touch II 18 lbs. Digital Kitchen Scale

This post may be sponsored or may contain affiliate links.



I've been wanting to get a kitchen scale for awhile now.  Apparently, eyeing the amount of food you are eating when trying to diet isn't the most effective way.  I'm excited to try out this scale, but I'm a little worried about learning how much I am really eating.  It will be interesting for sure.  I also plan on using it to weigh mail to find correct postage. 

Here is information provided on the scale.  It comes in 3 colors (white and red as well as the blue/teal above).

  • Industry exclusive scale features Microban antimicrobial product protection that helps prevent the growth of stain and odor-causing bacteria.
  • Boasts 2 touch sensitive buttons, 4 high precision GFX sensors, a large Blue LCD screen, and a capacity range of 0.05 oz to 18 lbs or 1 g to 8000 g.
  • Award-winning thin design is infused with Microban antimicrobial technology to provide an added level of protection that won't ever wear away.
  • Precision Tare button subtracts the container weight for the net ingredient weight; easy Unit button instantly converts between lb/oz, g, fl.oz., ml.
  • Includes 2 Lithium batteries and an easy-access battery compartment (no screwdriver needed). NOTE: remove the battery insulating strip before attempting to use the device.

Price varies on Amazon depending on the color/sale ($11-30)

My review will be coming soon.

Frozen Peanut Butter Jelly Sandwhiches - time saver

It's almost back to school time for my kids.  We are sad summer was so short this year. Teachers actually went back last week which meant daycare for my kids.  That also means packed lunches. This is a time saver that I've used for years and is much cheaper than buying the frozen pb&j sandwiches in the store.

 I make a whole bunch of pb&j sandwiches ahead of time and freeze them. I put a little peanut butter on both pieces of bread to keep the jelly from making it soggy.  Put them in Ziploc bags.  I spoon out a little jelly on each and then spread them ocer the peanut butter.  Place them in the sandwich bag and freeze. So easy. I like to make a full loaf at a time.  I even stack 4-5 Sandwhiches and cut them in half at the same time. My kids love them and never complained about them tasting any different.

My friend taught me the heal trick. When using the heal piece put that on the inside so the what part is on the outside.  Why didn't I think of that?








You can also do other sandwiches too. Ham and cheese etc.  My dauhhter has decided she's over pb&j so i made her salami and cheese.  They defrost pretty quick so they are ready by lunch time.
