Frezzer Full Of Frozen Love


This amazing picture was taken by a friend of mine who was dedicated to provide her twin girls the very best. She wanted to pump for as short a time as possible, yet feed the twins Brest milk for a year. For both the health benefits and cost of formula. To provide them with the very best she had started pumping every two hours and at the peak of production she was getting about 85 oz a day.. Now that's a lot. She is down to only 3 pumping s a day and is on her way to less and less till she cuts it out all together. Her goal was to provide and entire year of Breast milk to her babies. Now she has the time she wants to spend with her two older children and she is giving her babies the sweetest gift ever. A true labor of love.

42. When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you ’squeeze’ for freshness or softness? Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different color twist tie. They are: Monday = Blue , Tuesday = Green , Thursday = Red Friday = White and Saturday = Yellow. So if today was Thursday, you would want red twist tie; not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)! The colors go alphabetically by color Blue- Green - Red - White - Yellow, Monday through Saturday. Very easy to remember. I thought this was interesting. I looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and even the ones with the plastic clips have different colors. You learn something new everyday! Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the right color on the day you are shopping.

Pass this information on to friends so they can be informed also.

Food Stamps

I was taught a very important lesson by a diverse group of women. That Food stamps are for people who need help buying good food for there families, and that they come from diverse backgrounds. And just because someone is wearing NIKE or Jordan's and I'm sitting there in clearance slip on's does not mean we are not deserving.

When I was growing up I was always told people that live off the system are fat and lazy and get under the table jobs to keep the benefit's they were receiving. And that our tax money was paying for them to stay at home and be lazy.Well I need that help now and Ive paid into those taxes. And I really do need the help and I'm by far not lazy.

Ive come to understand that we live in a totally different time then when I grew up. And even though its still hard for me to ask for help I will bite the bullet and get the nutritious food my family needs. I'm not a bad person and neither is anyone else looking for help.
