Top 10 Things About My Mom

I have not posted in ages but I wanted to post this for sure.

In honor of Mother's Day, I thought I would post the top 10 things that my Mom has taught me. (Of course she's taught me much more than 10 things!)

1. Don't go to Walmart if you don't want to see someone that you know ;)
2. Put God first, and the rest will fall into place
3. Some people are just weird. But that's okay, because we are weird too!
4. Pray about everything
5. If you don't laugh at yourself, then who will?
6. Sometimes, you just have to have chocolate and ice cream. Sometimes both at the same time!
7. Put family first and work second
8. A few best friends are better than a lot of fake friends
9. Don't burn your bridges
10. A Mom can turn out to be your best friend!

Bath and Body Works FREE Lip Item

Wow did my blog need an update. I woke up this morning to find an awesome coupon in my inbox from Bath and Body Works. Use this coupon when you go to the mall to get a free lip item (C.O. Bigelow or Liplicious) with any purchase. There is also this coupon that you can use to get any free item with a $10 purchase. From what I've learned, you cannot use the coupons together in one purchase. But I usually tell them that I have to make two separate purchases and then use the coupons all in one visit.

The Wonder Sheet

Have you tried the new Purex 3-in-1 sheet? It is laundry detergent and fabric softener packed in one convenient little sheet. There is no need to make space for the large bulky laundry essentials that you normally have to purchase. Also, one sheet goes a long way. Click on the button below to find out more about the 3-in-1 sheet. There is also a great money saving coupon on the site as well.

Wordless Wednesday

This is just too cute for words...had to share it.  Maybe this is why Jayden will not let his passy go? :)

The Lunchbox Re-Vamped

I have been drooling over the Built NY neoprene bottle bags to carry our kids bottles and things in for a while. But they are always so expensive. Imagine my excitement when I found this adorable lunch tote from Built NY. I was able to get a great deal on it, and I am selling one in my eBay shop. I still remember my first lunch box when I started kindergarten. My, how they have changed! Check out my shop or go directly to the first link to see it!

A Little Bit of Easter

All Jacked Up BBQ Chicken

I've been meaning to post this recipe ever since Wednesday, but my two little monsters have not given me much time.  I made this for dinner, and my hubby loved it.  Plus, it was super easy to make.  So, I thought I would share it.

All Jacked Up BBQ Chicken

Materials:

*Jack Daniels BBQ Sauce (I used original flavor)

*Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts

*Butter (I used about a tablespoon)

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees

-Place the tablespoon of butter in an oven-safe baking dish and let the butter melt in the oven for a few minutes.

-Using the butter in the dish, coat the chicken with it.

-Stab the chicken pieces with a fork or knife to allow the sauce to absorb into the chicken.  Pour the BBQ sauce and keep flipping the chicken over to get the pieces coated.  (I used half of the bottle)

-Cook the chicken for 30-45 minutes, and flip the chicken halfway in between. (Keep in mind that your oven time might vary depending on the type of oven that you have.  I have a newer model so everything cooks quicker)

This recipe would be really good with chicken that has skin as well! Also, I would have taken a picture of the finished recipe, but my hubby got into the chicken before I could! :)
