Red, White and Blue Jello!

Finally!! Here's a patriotic treat for any 4th of July party! Kids love that they are hand-held treats and adults like it too.
Red White and Blue Jello

Ingredients:

  • 2 (3 ounces) boxes red jello
  • 2 (3 ounces) boxes blue jello
  • 4 envelopes knox unflavored gelatin
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • Boiling Water & Cold Water

Directions:
  1. In a medium bowl, mix two boxes of red jello with 1 envelope of unflavored gelatin. Add 2 cups of boiling water and stir to dissolve. Cool to room temperature and pour into a 9x13 inch glass pan that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Refrigerate for 30 minutes (make sure that your refrigerator is level, or your jello will come out uneven-looking --- Just like mine!)
  2. While the first layer is setting, prepare the white layer. In another bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk with 1 cup of boiling water. In a separate small bowl, sprinkle 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup of cold water. Let stand a few minutes and then add 1/2 cup of boiling water to dissolve the gelatin. Add to the milk mixture and stir to combine. Cool to room temperature. Pour this milk mixture over the first layer of red jello. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. 
  3. While the white layer is setting, prepare the blue layer. In a medium bowl, mix two boxes of blue jello with 1 envelope of unflavored gelatin. Add 2 cups of boiling water and stir to dissolve. Cool to room temperature and pour on top of the white layer. Refrigerate overnight. 
  4. Let Jello set before cutting. Use a sharp knife to cut and then use a spatula to slide underneath the jello and scoop out jello squares.

I wanted to get this out soon as possible as I know the Holidays are upon us and everyone is looking to save some money this time of year. This post is geared towards parents of multiples but if you have singletons please feel free to reach out to the companies below too for some free samples and offers, but please be aware some offers might not apply to you.

Below you will find the responses I received. Some companies were great, while others were….off putting. I included coupon codes I found o...

28 Weeks Pregnancy Update

Only 10 weeks to go!! Sometimes I cannot believe how far along I am. 28 weeks, and it seems like just yesterday we were telling everyone we were pregnant. Aside from sever morning sickness in the first trimester I haven’t had any more pregnancy complications. PTL On Tuesday January 16 th we had a growth ultrasound to check on the kiddos and make sure they’re still growing on track. It was pretty routine with all the pictures they were taking. They measure their heads, stomachs, lengths of arms and legs and checked their hearts again. Everything is looking good. Both my little girls weighed 2lbs 9oz, I was kind of shocked by this because Baby B has always been my bigger baby, but A is definitely keeping up now. Baby B still measures out a little longer than A but not by much. They are 46 th and 47 th percentile. This is great news for us as now our OB is watching to make sure one or both babies don’t fall behind on the growth charts. Pregnant moms always worry about their ba...
