A Peek Inside My Fridge and Cabinets

I have really found a love for the glass Lock-and-Lock products. I put a lot of leftovers in them so that I can put them right in the oven or microwave. I've bought a few more rectangular pieces, in addition to the pieces I was given through L&L Supporters, and I also have some round ones from my last shipment. They are well-used!

The plastic ones store a lot of different kinds of things...ie: chocolate gold coins that I use during "School Time" with Caleb! :)

All our various types of jelly...

Look closely here...that round one in the background is extremely useful! I just got it recently (it's part of a lunch box kit, actually), and I am pretty much always using it for something. The ones in the foreground are holding celery and cucumbers for Caleb's snacks. There's also one (without a lid) that's cut off on the left. We put thawing milk in there!

I have a snack drawer for the nurses, but found that putting entire boxes of snacks would mean that about 1/2 of the box would go stale and be wasted. Since then, I've started splitting the boxes in half and putting them in two Lock and Lock containers. Since they're airtight, they don't go stale! It's worked really well and then we don't waste food.

This is Caleb's snack basket (I have a "Snack Shop" where he "buys" snacks...I need to blog on that sometime!) Lots of Lock and Lock in here because the stuff doesn't go bad this way!

In case there was ever any doubt, I definitely do use Lock and Lock on a daily (hourly, minutely...) basis! It's a part of my everyday life. :)

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

If you happen to pick up the latest Reader's Digest, there is an article in there about Piper Breinholt , a four year old with CCMS. If you've been around here a while, you'll remember wayyyyyy back when we first received Abby's diagnosis that I was able to speak to Piper's mom, Reagan. The article is more about their story and not as much about the ins and outs of CCMS, but I think it's probably enough to get some people googling it and I'm hoping a few will end up here. Every once in a while, I give a blog post the title of Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome so that it would show up in Google. My ever-present hope is that people will stumble across my blog and 1) be encouraged by the hope we have in Christ, 2) feel a connection with someone in a similar situation as them, or 3) get excited over the miracles that have been performed in Abby's life!! (a combination of all 3 is great too!) :) Notice that it's not to get famous and it never wi

The Potty Man

Caleb LOVES to go potty! I have never heard a potty training story like this one....Caleb tells us when he needs to go, we take his diaper off, and he goes! Now, is it perfect? No, not at all! We aren't trying to potty train at at all, but we figure every time he goes is one less diaper we have to change! The only time we consistantly put him on the potty is when we give him a bath (he always pees in the tub, so we know he needs to go!) He almost always goes on the potty now instead of the tub though. When he's not "really" going potty, he's pretending to go potty! He's such a funny kid!

Lego Party: Favors

I'm a little slow in posting the Lego Party pictures, but I think I have a few excuses I could use. At any rate, I wanted to share what I did for the party! It will take a few posts, so stay with me. I'll start with how I did the favors. These are the goody bags I made. I just bought solid colored gift bags and matched scrapbook paper to each bag. Then I punched circles and attached them with the 3D foam tape so that the circles were raised. I used the keychain (explained below) as a name tag on the outside. These are Duplo blocks. I put a round magnet on the back and...voila! A magnet! (note: hot glue doesn't work so well...I ended up reglueing them with my apoxy because the magnets fell off.) I made crayons using Lego man crayons. Yes, I know this guy has lost half of his leg. The others were already packaged and I didn't want to open one up just to get a picture. I used a Lego mold to make the crayons. Caleb put small pieces of crayon in each m
