Lock-n-Lock

I have been fortunate to be chosen as a Lock-n-Lock blogger!  For the next few months, I will blog occasionally about Lock-n-Lock products...and will be getting some fabulous samples! 

If you don't know, I have loooooooooong since been a lover of Lock-n-Lock.  My love runs very deep!  You're probably familiar with the plasticwear they sell in Walmart and Target with the 4 sides of the lid that clip down onto the main dish.  Did you know that they don't leak???  Seriously, they don't!  They're also extremely durable.  Case in point:  my freezer is...ahem...less than organized these days from being overrun with frozen milk, and stuff often falls out.  A few weeks ago, two containers of soup I'd made and frozen fell out.  One was in a Lock-n-Lock container and one was in a plastic Ziploc container.  Guess which one shattered and left frozen shards of crab soup all over my floor?!  Not the Lock-n-Lock!

My first shipment of goodies came a few days ago, and WOW...not what I was expecting!  I thought I might get a small storage container or two, and I was thrilled with that idea!

Instead, I got:

A great glass pot with a steamer lid and a in-bowl removable strainer.  As you can see, I've already found a yummy use for it!


Two glass bakers that would be nice for a side of mac and cheese or some vegetable.


Two of the glass storage containers with the lock-n-lock lids (especially good now that they're saying not to microwave food in plastic containers!)


A box of Lock-in-Lock plastic storage wrap, which they say is microwavable.

So far, my favorite is the strainer bowl with the lid.  It's a nice size for lots of different things! 

You'll be hearing lots more about these products as I figure out new uses for them.  :)

enjoy the glass ones. We recycled and donated all of our old tupperware/rubbermaid/noname containers and went to all glass. Although I have fewer containers, I find it keeps my cupboards more organized and that I go through leftovers more efficiently because I don't have a zillion containers in the cupboard. The benefit of no PCBs and other nasties in our food is great, too. I will definitely be picking up that strainer thing.

LOVE Lock n Lock! Didn't know they had the glass stuff. I'll have to look into that! I just got Camden the square bento lunch box that they make. It's great! No leaking lunch stuff!

You should put an affliate button to these products on your blog. If Amazon carries them they have an easy affliate program to integrate. Of course that's if your blogging contract with lock n lock allows it.

My camper could be a lock and lock ad!!! We have everything in these boxes. The stack so nicely and keep everything fresh. Moisture can't get in so sugar doesn't harden. Love these boxes!!!!!!!

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
