Helping Moms Survive Parenthood...One Post at a Time
The Easter weekend brought lots of family traditions for us. Ever since I can remember, we have always dyed eggs the night before the holiday, and this year was no exception. I knew I had to plan a quick meal for several people Saturday night. My mom, sister, and sister's boyfriend were coming to dye eggs and make cookies, so I wanted something that could be put together fast. While at Sam's … [Read more...]
Holiday shopping is here, and it's time to get those lists made for gifts, food, decorations, and more. I love the Black Friday and Cyber Monday gift shopping, though I must be organized or something doesn't get purchased. I always create a list of the people I will be shopping for, along with my gift budget. This allows me to find the perfect gifts for everyone without breaking the bank! Other … [Read more...]
I have to admit - upgrading my husband's drawers (yes, you heard that right) was a topic I never thought I'd write about on my blog. However, it's an event that has been a long time coming and I finally got the go ahead to update his undies! My husband is one of those that doesn't like to get rid of anything when it comes to clothing. He will hold onto a t-shirt for years, even if there's … [Read more...]
I recently heard about a new (to me) way to earn money from my favorite brands called Jingit. This online program allows me to sit at my computer, watching videos and answering short surveys. In return for my time, I receive cash! How cool is that? Signing up with Jingit is very easy - you can use your Facebook login information to get started. I did have to verify my profile information, but … [Read more...]
My husband is very into action films, especially those that involve superheroes. I have to admit, in the time we have been together, his love for these movies has transferred to me as well. With all of the buzz swarming around Marvel's The Avengers, I knew it was a movie the two of us had to add to our collection. I just wish my son was old enough to enjoy it too - but by owning the movie, we will … [Read more...]
Now that school has resumed and we just celebrated Labor Day, it's really time to begin thinking about the Fall season. Though my son is too young for me to go back to school shopping just yet, he still needs new clothing for the cooler weather ahead. I've been doing a little shopping here and there for him, but he's still in need of long sleeved tops and pajamas. If I had it my way, I would … [Read more...]
When it comes to shopping, I like to do mine in the most affordable as well as most convenient ways possible. Because of this, I have always enjoyed making purchases at Walgreens. It's only two miles from my house, they have awesome deals that can be paired with coupons to save even more, and they have many of the brands we purchase on a regular basis. When I heard of the new Balance Rewards … [Read more...]
Family games nights used to be a bi-weekly activity around here. Now that my mom, brother, and sister are all in college full time, and the fact that James and I have a child, these nights don't happen quite as often. In fact, we haven't had a family game night in about two months! I decided it was time to rectify that this week! I invited my sister and her boyfriend over for a quick dinner and … [Read more...]
