How to Send Diapers Directly to Tornado Victims

Want to help the tornado victims in Alabama but not sure how?

Laurie, who lives in Northern Alabama, posted an Amazon diaper deal earlier in the week. She mentioned that they would be a good item to donate to tornado victims.

For a second, I wished I could order some and then drive them down there. Then I realized instead of having Amazon ship them to me, I could have Amazon ship them directly to AL!

I asked Laurie who I could ship to that would distribute diapers to local victims in her area. Check out her answer here.

Watermelon Fruit Basket

 

I love this beautiful watermelon fruit basket from Finding Joy in My Kitchen!  She set her basket out with some skewers and let guests make their own fruit kabobs.  I’m thinking serving the fruit straight from the basket would be just fine.

Gratituesday: Baby Cole

This weekend our family welcomed a new beautiful baby boy into the world.  Cole is my cousin Allison’s baby.

The last few weeks of the pregnancy were fairly rough on Allison.  Allison’s labor was induced when she was diagnosed with preeclampsia.  After 23 hours of little progress, they performed a c-section.  We are so thankful they did, because Cole had his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck twice and was trying to come out sideways!

Cole is the most beautiful baby boy.  He was 8.4 lbs and 19 inches long.

Allison gave us a scare with some bleeding issues following the c-section but thankfully pulled through just fine.

I am so grateful that my cousin and her baby are well!  What are you grateful for this gratituesday?

Chia Egg Replacement/Substitute


Remember cha-cha-cha-chia pets?  Chia is back as a super-food!  It’s high in fiber, healthy oils and antioxidants.  The cool thing about chia is that it absorbs more than nine times its weight in water and turns into a gel, making it a great egg substitute.  Don’t have chia seed?  Try this flax seed egg substitute.

Ingredients for 1 egg:
3 Tbsp Water
1 Tbsp Chia Seed

Ingredients for 4 eggs:
3/4 Cup Water
1/4 Cup Chia Seed

Ingredients for 8 eggs:
1 1/2 Cup Water
1/2 Cup Chia Seed

1. Combine water and chia and let sit for 10-15 minutes or until it gels.

2. Use 4 Tablespoons for 1 egg.  Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
