real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
I’m excited about this post. I love saving money and I get a rush when I can share a money saving technique with others. Read on because I have $5 to The Children’s Place for the first 200 readers that jump on it. Let me explain what in the world the Chime app and debit card is all about….
I’m still using an app called Ibotta to get cash back on my grocery and other shopping trips. Have you read my posts in the past? I recently stopped my newspaper subscription because I just plain don’t have time to do the coupon clipping. 3 kids under 6 years old makes my brain mush and life busy….
I’m always looking for educational apps for the kids. I must add that I hate to pay for apps. Basically I refuse! My children (ages 6, 4, and 1) have really enjoyed the Tiny Tap app. That’s impressive that an app can be fun for such a wide age range. This is more than an app of games for…
It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since I was diagnosed with melanoma skin cancer. A year ago at this time I was a fearful basket case and wrote this post. However, I’ve had check up’s every 3 months and I’ve shown no evidence of disease (NED). I’ve graduated to skin check’s every 6…
I’ve seen far too many Facebook status updates that went something like this, “my phone is sitting in rice, please don’t try to reach me via my cell.” A dear friend of mine (who can remain anonymous because I know she reads this blog) has had her phone in rice more then once in the…
I have a distant memory of the time when I would get my paycheck as a young, single girl and hit the mall for a few new outfits. I didn’t have a coupon, I didn’t always shop the sales, I just bought what I liked because I only had myself to worry about. I have always…
Do you ever wonder if the “as seen on TV” items your kids beg you for are any good? We were given the chance to try out Lumi Dough and it was a big hit. The kids had fun making their molded creations and then they would rush to our dark bathroom where I could hear them giggle together as…
Build-A-Bear Workshop has a new friend to introduce. It’s Toothless from DreamWorks How to Train Your Dragon 2. Check your local store, the website, and/or Facebook to see if Toothless is in stock. He’s been flying off the shelves {pun intended} since he was made available at the end of May. He would make a good friend…
Since there is no such thing as a machine that washes, dries, folds, and puts clothes back in drawers, I have been on the hunt for the perfect laundry system for our family of 5. At any given point I would have a pile or two of clothes heaped on the couch waiting to be…
It doesn’t matter what time of year it is, I can always appreciate a good smelling candle burning. I have this not so secret fetish for MAN CANDLES too! My husband gets home from work and says, “why does it smell like a man was in here?” Don’t worry, it’s just my candle. I was…
We have nearly completed our transition to sippy cups. My goal is always by their 1st birthday. However, I’m not opposed to keeping out a bottle or two when they cut molars and just want to snuggle in the middle of the night. The bottle at the end of THIS post has been around from…
We just had Teacher Appreciate week last week at my son’s school and we also honored our Sunday school teachers at church. I’m always looking for unique gifts to give to those precious souls that teach my kids so I don’t have to. I tip my hat to those that have the patience to be…
