Rub and Dub Tub

Megan loves her baths and we needed to find something new and fun to do for her. So we took the same recipe that we used for the finger paint and took it to the tub!

Learning Our ABC's

Megan is very good at singing her ABC's but now it's time for her to recognize them so we're going to be having a letter of the week with different things to do with and different letter each week! I'm really excited for this and to see how much she learns!

Let's start with A today!

A is for...
Apple
Alligator
Ant

With the picture above I'll have her color in (or stamp) all the lower case and then the upper case with a different color!

Chicken, Ham & Cheese

This was a great quick chicken recipe that my mom use to make all the time...yummy! We had it with some friends over and it turned out great...

6 chicken breast
6 slices of ham
6 slices of cheese (I use provolone)
1/2 cup crackers smashed - I used saltines
water

Trim chicken of any fat. Place chicken in water and then coat with crackers. Cook at 275 for 1 hour (mine only took about 45 minutes). Place ham and then cheese slice on top of each chicken, place back in oven until cheese is melted. It goes great with mayo and mustard dip! (1 cup mayo 1/3 cup mustard)

Candy Bouquet

I wanted to share how cute my candy bouquet turned out for my husband!! It's much cheaper to do it yourself and quite easy! All I did was grab a vase that we had laying around put one of those styrofoam balls/cone (mine was a cone but a ball would work as well) in it. Then I taped the candy to kabob sticks and stuck them in the styrofoam...as easy as that!

A Date over Hot Chocolate

I'm so excited cause me and my husband get to have a date tomorrow with no kids!! That doesn't happen often enough but we're grateful for the times we do get it. I have planned (since we're poor) to go to Mimi's Cafe where they have my favorite hot chocolate and go through this list of 50 questions I found. I loved the questions they have on here cause it's ones that are great to know even after you've been married for sometime, and we all know that our favorites change all the time (at least mine does when it comes to food). Some of the questions are very personal, I hope they don't offend you but I thought they were really important things to ask your spouse if you don't know the answer already!!

Family Binder

So I'm excited to show you all my family binder. It's the most important thing that I'd grab in case of an emergency. It has all our information in it and includes copies (or will include copies once I'm done) of all our safe documents so if our home is ever broken into and our safe stolen I'll know all the information they took. It also includes everything in our wallet with CC numbers written down so if my purse or husbands wallet is ever stolen I know all the contact numbers to block cards and report to the police everything that was in the wallet/purse. I'm going to be starting with one section at a time so you can follow along and get your binder put together as well. I'll post a new section every Wednesday and hope to have it all wrapped up in one month!!

First thing you're going to need is a binder, dividers, and sheet protectors.

 Here's what the inside looks like. I have a label for each family member, home, keys, numbers, purse/wallet, safe copies

The first thing in the binder is a sheet protector with the front cut in half to make it easy to slip papers into. I use this for those moments when I'm to busy to write the information down but it needs to go into the binder, that way it stays in the binder and when I have a spare moment I write everything down.

Then after each persons name are these 6-7 pages - Personal Information, Personal Medical Information, Work History (for me and my husband), Medical History, Prescriptions, Immunizations, Dental History

I'd really like to make these so that you can just print them off from here but until I figure that out I'll give you a list of what's on each pages (and if you know how I can do that please let me know:) )

Personal -

Name, Dress size, waist, length, shirt size, neck, sleeve, pant size, inseam, sock size, shoe size, preferred colors, preferred brands, important dates to remember, school/work schedule, school/work address/phone #, wish list

   I can't tell you how many times I refer to this page for Christmas and Birthdays! It's great information to have on hand and then they have no idea:)

Personal Medical Information -

Name, Address, Doctor, Phone # (doc), Insurance co, account # (insurance), Hospital, religious preference, dentist, phone # (dentist), in emergency notify, birth date, height, weight, eyes, hair, blood type, blood pressure, past medical problems, allergies, medications presently taken, surgeries, other, updated

Work History -

For this one I have the same information repeated 5 times on a page (I printed a few pages). You wouldn't believe how helpful this was in filling out applications when my husband was looking for work.

Dates, Employer, position title, address, phone #, supervisor, hours per week, salary

Medical History -

This is what I use to write down each time we go in to see the doctor so it's 3 columns and at the top there's Date, Doctor, Description (the doctor part has really come in hand especially when I find a doctor I don't prefer I know to stay away next time if our regular doctor is unavailable)

Prescriptions -

This is like the doctor one with the columns, there are 5 - date, doctor, number, reason, type/amount/dosage

Immunizations -

The same as Medical History and Prescriptions with 3 columns labeled, Type, Date, Place

Dental History -

3 columns with date, dentist, description

So there you have the first section of the book. This is the biggest part and takes the most time and effort keeping up with it but it's so handy to have and will come to great use in case of an emergency or if someone else needs to take your child to the doctor!! I'd also add in a family pictures (make sure to update) so that you have a resent picture of everyone in case of emergency!
