Sweet peas and potatoes

If you are a concerned parent who is worried about the health of your baby, then you may be wondering about how to make your own baby food? The main advantage of doing this is that you know exactly what is going into your child’s food, instead of being left in the dark about all of the added preservatives that go into baby food found in the supermarkets.

Then there is the factor of cost. If you are on a tight budget, buying expensive pre-made baby food can quickly start to put a big hole in your wallet. In this kind of situation every penny counts, and once you learn how to make your own baby food, you can very quickly save a nice amount of money that can be used for other expenses.

Fostering a sharing and caring environment at home is nothing short of difficult. Especially for twins, who are often times expected to be each other’s best friends, expectations can be overwhelming. Bunk beds for your twins can grant them individual spaces while still learning valuable lessons about compromise and cooperation. The bunk bed helps save space in the kids’ room while your twins work together toward a common goal, whether it be making the bed or deciding who gets to sleep on the top bunk. Comfortable, secure, stylish, and a space saver, bunk beds can also be a vital learning tool for teaching your kids an important lesson in cohabitation.

Save on Prescriptions at Walgreens

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens.
All opinions are 100% mine.


My preemie twin daughters are going to be 18 years old this week! It is hard to believe that my little 2-lb. birdies will be considered adults soon! Even though my girls had just about every preemie complication go wrong that could go wrong as an infants, we were lucky that they were as healthy as they were growing up. Both girls are on multiple medications for health conditions now (Macy has OCD, and Mallory has Epilepsy), but neither diagnosis is attributed to prematurity.

With the rising costs of prescription medications, I am going to check into joining the Walgreens Prescription Savings Club.  For $10 a year, a family membership covers everyone in my immediate family, including my spouse (if I had one), my dependents ages 22 and younger (all four of them) and even my pets (if I had any of those, too)! Individuals can join for only $5 per year. Anyone can join the Prescription Savings Club membership risk free, and if one doesn’t save more money than the cost of the membership fees during one full year of their membership, then Walgreens will refund the difference!
