Two Towel Tricks

***Random ALERT***

My TWO favorite towel tricks to date are:

1- When you are in the middle of laundrypalooza you alternate a load of clothes with a load of towels. TRUST me it helps SO much with the folding and putting away part.

2-When you don't feel like unloading and reloading the dishwasher you fill you sink with all your DIRTY dishes and pans, clean the counter tops, THEN place large towel over the sink like so:

A Bakers Dozen

Well, I have to admit I was THRILLED to find out that a Bakers Dozen is 13! Yes, THANK you McDonald's for teaching me something new!!! On my cheat day, we went to get a burger and when I was ordering I saw their new promotion for their fresh baked cookies! I thought I would get a couple. When I was ordering I discovered I could get a Bakers Dozen (13) for $3.99. UMMMM $3.99 YES PLEASE. Ok these are awesome. The Hubs is NOT a big McD's fan but he had to admit (4 cookies later) that the cookies were a-ma-zing! Tiny has had his hand in the cookie box 1 to many times, they are ALL gone!!! I hear I need to try their oatmeal. I will keep yall posted. Alright, head to McDonald's Drive Thru and get yourself a cute box of their yummy chocolate chip cookies!!! Y-U-M!

Wordless Wednesday

The Weelicious Crock Pot Black Bean Soup

{Picture is via the Weelicious website}

I am OBSESSED with this soup! I have now made it twice and have even eaten ALL the frozen left overs that I "saved". This Black Bean Soup and Chili are two items I MUST have in my freezer at ALL times!
Weelicious is an AMAZING blog that post TONS of healthily recipes for children. Well, I am 30 and trying to eat better so this is my diet meal plan recipe spot! Tiny already eats healthy and the Hubs is SO picky I don't even try with him!

Here is their great Crock Pot (which I love all things made in a crock pot) Black Bean Soup!

{Recipe is via the Weelicious website}

Crock Pot Black Bean Soup (Serves 6)

1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Onion, diced
3 Garlic Cloves, chopped
2 Cups Dried Black Beans, soaked overnight, rinsed and drained
1 32 oz Chicken Broth or Vegetable Stock, low sodium
1/4 Cup Cilantro, chopped
2 Bay Leaves
2 Tsp Kosher Salt
1 Cup Water

Accompaniments: Yogurt, Sour Cream, Crème Fraiche

1. Heat oil in a sauté pan over medium heat and sauté onions for 4 minutes.
2. Add chopped garlic and sauté an additional minute.
3. Place the onion garlic mixture into the crock pot along with the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine.
4. Cook on low for 8-10 hours.
5. Using either a hand blender or traditional blender, puree the ingredients to your desired texture (I like to get it so a few pieces of beans are still visible so the soup is thick and still has a bit of texture).
6. Top with a dollop of yogurt, sour cream or crème fraiche.
7. Serve.

Time to bust out that crock pot, soak some black beans, slow cook, and ENJOY! Thank you Weelicious for all your GREAT recipes!

AVA the Elephant

Ava the Elephant is our new BFF! I was sent this darling medicine dispenser to test and review and we are in LOVE. You can find miss Ava at your local CVS for about $10. She is AWESOME. Tiny loves to play with her even when it is NOT medicine time!


How does she work you ask? SO easy!


-Fill the dropper with the amount of meds your darling needs

-Place the dropper it the "trunk" of Ava

-Press the button

-Ava will say "1, 2, 3 Open Wide! Good Job!"

-Place her trunk in your darlings mouth

-Squeeze the dropper top

-All DONE!!!

***When using her for the 1st time before placing the medicine dropper in the trunk let your darling "play" with Ava so he will understand what she does!

Yall, this is such a neat item and is now a MUST have in our medicine cabinet!! When Tiny sees her he yells, "1,2,3 GOOD JOB!" it is SO cute!!! So head to your local CVS and pick one up today!

Miss Ava makes medicine time so fun and SO easy!
