Man! This is just NOT my week!

So to say I am a hoarder is really a far stretch! You can say I have a love of fabric, you can say I am thrifty, you can even go as far to call me cheap. *gasp* But a hoarder....no! I do like to keep a few things around "just in case". Let's take boxes for example.

A few years ago I ordered a boat load of flat rate and media mail boxes from the USPS. I went to mail some packages last week and this morning I discovered my flat rate and media mail boxes are in fact, no longer flat rate or media mail boxes! Lovely!

Even better? Since I did all the postage online it can take up to 21 days for it to be returned! Lovely.

How about even better? When I was making my labels via paypal my paypal account somehow got charged twice! Lovely!

Oh even better than THAT? Because my paypal account was charged twice and I had just enough to cover the first set of labels it took the money out of my bank account.

Yep, you guessed it, it gets better. So since I totally spaced out and forgot to change the account associated with my paypal it caused my old account to be overdrawn! Uuuuuggggggghhhhhh!!!!!!

Guess there really isn't anyone to blame about all of this but myself. But I am just going to go ahead and say it is ALL paypal and USPSes fault. There, now I feel better. Not really.

Let's just top my week off shall we?

So I know my Etsy store is a little well...hmm....lean, shall we say. So I made a few things to list this week. How exciting!

Well, it would be exciting if I could find my camera, so I can take pictures, so I can then upload and edit the pics, so I can then get things listed.

Well stink! What day is it? Oh right, Tuesday! Well hopefully the rest of the week gets better.

FROZEN Hot Chocolate

I am sure by now, most of you know that FROZEN the Movie is coming to theaters THIS WEEK (the 27th to be exact)! I am so excited!! My girls saw some of the FROZEN merchandise while we were at Walt Disney World and that is all they could talk about.....for days! It has been a rough school year for both of the girls so far. Mads is adjusting to being in the upper elementary, was dealing with a bully and gets super frustrated with math (even though she is really good at it). MG is adjusting to actually being in school, went through a time of having accidents at school and she just misses her mommy. To celebrate Mads good grades and MG going a month accident free, I decided to treat the girls with a few fun new toys and some hot chocolate. Once I heard that FROZEN merchandise was available at Walmart, I ran to stock up. While I was there, it hit me! I could have #Frozenfun with the hot chocolate and make FROZEN Hot chocolate! I just knew the girls would love it! I was k

Le Cellier - Chedder Cheese Soup Recipe Review

I first talked about this soup here . I have to admit, was not real eager to try this soup. I can not stand the taste of beer. PERIOD! It doesn't take much in a recipe for me to be able to taste it. With that being said, the soup wasn't bad. I would try it with ginger ale next time though. Before I tell you what I thought of the soup I need to be fair and tell you about some changes I made to the recipe. First, the recipe tells you to cook the bacon just to render out the fats, not to make crispy. I did not render out enough of the fats and in fact next time, I would cook the bacon until it IS crispy. I don't like limp bacon, I like my bacon extra crispy. Second, I TOTALLY forgot to cook down the onions and celery before adding the flour! Ummmm......ooops! So my bacon was limp and my veggies were crispy! HAHA! Next, I am not on a budget to be able to purchase "Aged White Cheddar" so good ol Yellow Sharp Cheddar it was! I did NOT add one tablespoo

Strawberries and Cream Instant Oatmeal | Recipe

I don't know about you but, we go through oatmeal like that is the only thing to eat on this planet! Seriously a TON! My youngest would eat it for every meal and snack....every day....if I let her. Yes, the little packs can be cheap (if you can find a coupon and get them on sale) but it still adds up. I used things I already had on hand so there was no extra cost to make this. FREE is ALWAYS good! I tried before to make little packets to keep on hand but that was a complete fail. I have since reworked the recipe and am happy with the results. I decided to just keep the oatmeal in a glass container this time and scoop out what we need, when we need it. You can also make this into packets by just scooping the desired amount into zip-top bags. {Strawberries & Cream Instant Oatmeal} 12 Servings 6 Cups Quick Cook Oats 1 1/2 Cups Oat Powder 2 Cups Powdered Milk 1 - 1 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Cup Freeze Dried Strawberries Directions f
