Buying new tires is something that no one truly wants to do, but it is better to do it before your tires get in too bad of shape.  It sure doesn't hurt to buy tires when there is a great deal going on, too!  Through June 30, shoppers are eligible to receive up to an $80 Visa prepaid card when purchasing a new set of qualifying [...]

Get Exactly What You’re Looking for at Sears!

This post brought to you by Sears. All opinions are 100% mine.

Sears, the store we all know and love, is doing a great job keeping up with the times!  I just perused Sears.com and was amazed with all of the options, styles, brands, designers, and choices available.  I prefer to shop online because I usually have two kids (and sometimes a husband) shopping with me, and I just don't have the time to search for exactly what I want.  Sears [...]

Give and Receive Quality Time – SocialBlackout for Mother’s Day

I participated in this SocialBlackout campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for MetLife. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

I love my little family.  We like to celebrate holidays for a week or more.  The boys and hubby took me out on Monday for pizza and said it was my Mother's Day meal, (but it really wasn't.)  Then the boys made me a Mother's Day craft and the Captain brought home a special Mother's Day gift that I'm not supposed to open until Sunday.  I'm sure we will [...]

Stop Throwing Money Away on Ink Cartridges

This ink cartridges post was written by me on behalf of LD Products.  All opinions are mine.

We use our printer….a lot.  Daddy prints stuff for his job, I print coupons and lessons for church and the boys, and even Captain Fussybuckets likes to print the occasional something or other.  I don't like to be a cheapskate, but ink cartridges are expensive!  We have tried different ways to try and save ink.  We have used the "refilling" services at various places and they just don't measure up.

Wordless Wednesday: Bluebonnet Fail

This past weekend, we went out to the spot we took bluebonnet pictures last year.  This trip turned out to be a major fail, but good thing it was only 5 mins away.  Last year the bluebonnets were lush and thick and this year……they are splotchy.  The sun was in the boys' eyes so I just gave up.  Getting two kids to look and smile in the direction of the camera is hard enough, but the sun is just too much for me to compete with.  This is the best picture that came from this [...]

What I Love About My Hubby

The Hubby and I have been married almost 8 years, and have known each other for about 12.  Looking back, time has just flown.  We are definitely two very different people than when we met so long ago, but we have grown together and not only do I love him more, I actually like the guy more today, too!  Here are ten simple things I love about my hubby, although the list could go on forever!  I'm sure he'll be embarassed by this list, but hey, that's okay!  

1.  He loves God.  It's amazing [...]

My Life Before Kids

Sometimes I remember back to what it was like….our life with no kids.  We had one computer, one TV, two dogs, and that was pretty much it.  What on earth did I do before I had kids?  Hubby and I got married 2 weeks after he graduated from college and 6 months after I had, we quickly moved and started our lives as youth minister and wife at a new church.  It was a blast.  We loved those first few years.  I remember the summer after we got married, we got a dog, I searched for a job, had [...]

Organize Your Pantry with SpiceStack!

We use our pantry numerous times a day. The boys love to get their little chairs and get into the pantry to grab some dried cranberries or cereal for a snack. It wasn't until a few weeks ago that we installed the light in our pantry and this just made me see how disorganized everything was. My first step was to tend to the spices. I have wire baskets on the door that work great for storage, but they just weren't cutting it for my growing spice collection. It looked bad and it was hard [...]

Spring is coming, which means it's almost time for Spring Cleaning!  Yes, it may still be snowing where you are…and you may be like me and not be in the mood to clean at all so let's start with something simple:  computer cleanup.  We have had our desktop computer since 2007.  It was our first computer that we bought together and it has moved many places with us.  This is the computer that has most [...]
