New Cooler Bag

I got a new cooler bag from Lock and Lock that is pretty nice.  The zipper is a little tough, but that's really my only complaint.  It's a nice size and I've already used it a couple of times to pack a lunch for doctor's appointments.


In my newest shipment for being a Supporter, I got another cooler bag!  It's a bit smaller and made for one person, so I haven't used it yet (usually I pack for two people, plus Abby's milk and solids, when we go to the doctor, so I need a bigger bag), but it's nice for a lunch bag.  Matt likes it because it's "manly," unlike the others I have.  What does he have against Vera Bradley??


That one came with three (pretty!  They're a dark green!) square containers.  I love them!!  They are all the same size, but two are just open containers.  You can fit a whole lot of food in them.  The third is above, and it's stinkin' cool.  See how it's divided?   
The whole thing lifts out so that you could just use it as an open container as well. It holds a surprising amount of food.


 
This is the coolest part!  You can put this little grate on top (if you want, or you can leave it off) and put an ice pack on it!  That way, your food stays nice and cold!

Pretty cool!  The ice pack comes with it, but make sure you freeze it flat!  It's a snug fit, so any bumps from freezing it in a clump will keep the lid from closing.

If you're in the market for a new lunch bag, I would definitely go for this one.  Even if you're not, you get three really nice containers out of it!!  :)

I ordered the largest red version of this bag yesterday. I'm thinking that I'll just freeze the little freeze bag in the box itself then I know it will fit.

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
