Gifts for twins

Quick post today...busy time, as I'm sure you all understand.

Just wanted to share some photos of a gift I just sent to a good friend of mine who had twins about two months ago. I'm finally getting around to getting their gift done. I hope she sends me pics of them wearing their outfits.

I also made this for one of my etsy clients. It was fun to make but a little challenging to get the burp rags just right on top!

What do you make for twins? I think it would be fun to have twins...but then again, I think I'm made to only handle one baby at a time, and I can obviously dress my kids alike even if they weren't born on the same day! :) Have a great weekend!

Antique Cooking Charts

My mom asked me the other day to get a couple pictures for her blog. She wanted pictures of my Great-Grandmas Hoosier (Isn't it beautiful?) and the Cooking Chart inside the door. I have been wanting to share another chart that I got from my Grandma and thought this was a good opportunity to share them. So now that I have the pictures....I can!

Below is the photo of the Hoosier. I am using it in my new craft room for all the kids art supplies. I love it!

Here is the | Useful Information | (Cooking Chart) that was tacked inside the left door. It has a bunch of really great information that any woman would love to have.

This Chart below is a Microwave Time Chart that I got from my Grandma. She has a larger version. If I remember correctly, this chart was from back in the 70's. It also has a lot of very useful information. My Grandma didn't want to part with hers, understandably, but was happy to let me borrow it for a quick scan. Thank you Grandma. I now have a cool Retro Cooking Chart!

Please feel free to copy these cooking charts and use them as your own.

I would love to see your Cooking Charts. I am kinda starting a collection!

If you have any that you would like to share, can you please share a link or email them to trendytreehouse@me.com

Egg Salad Sandwich

This is an amazing sandwich that I just actually made for lunch the other day with our left over easter eggs. Once I made it I knew I had to share it here. It was so delicious!

What you are going to need...

2 hard boiled eggs

1 1/2 tbsp. of mayo

Mustard to taste

Garlic Salt

Pepper (optional)

Provolone Cheese

Pecans

2 slices of Bread

First, mash up your eggs. Great term Mash! LOL Mix in your mayo and mustard. Also sprinkle in your garlic salt. To taste of course. You could also add pepper if you like. I don't care for it, so I left it out. Sprinkle in some chopped pecans. YUM! Now your ready to put it all together.

Get your two slices of bread. I used buttermilk bread this time but also love to use croissants and ciabatta rolls too! Don't add any extra mayo to the bread. Keep it dry. Add the egg mixture straight to the bread. Top with a slice of provolone cheese and top of bread. Enjoy!

This is an amazing sandwich! I want to make another one right now!

Hope you enjoy it!

Swan

While walking around a local lake I spotted a mute swan on her nest. I snapped a photo before taking a detour to avoid getting too close :-)

Tara's | EASTER | Photo

We had a great Easter with the kids this year. I had a hard time deciding what photo to share. We took so many! It was either, family photo, kids pics or the hunt. I went with the one of my daughter running to get her eggs. It is so great seeing their excitement and this photo, I thought, showed that!
