A good friend of mine, Sharla, is awesome. She’s hilarious, fun, crafty, and is a GREAT cook (check out her new blog, This is Doable). One day she was telling me about her favorite pasta salad recipe. She uses “suddenly salad” as the base, and it reminded me that I used to do the exact…
As I mentioned in this post waaaaaaaaaaaay back in the stone age, as well as THIS TV segment (that I totally forgot to do a blog post about! Whoops!), you can buy Jimmy Johns “baked fresh yesterday” bread for just $0.50 per loaf! The loaves are huge, and delicious as ever even though they are…
The other day on “3 things for mom” I posted a truth, a tip, and a find. Check them out HERE or read them below: TRUTH: Talking about money with your spouse will make you cry. Sad, but true. However… that’s not the truth I want to drive home, here. The real truth is… …There is…
source Thanks to the FCF 10-Pound Challenge this month, I’ve been really trying to focus on eating better and making conscious choices about what I eat. My blender has saved me this month. I’ve learned that you get what you pay for with a blender. We broke our blender after using it only a few…
Tonight when I was making dinner, I thought of a quick savings tip that I wanted to share with you! As you all know, I love my tupperware drawer. As I was getting into it tonight I realized HOW MUCH of my “tupperware” is leftover containers from things I already had lying around! Check out…
Since starting the 10-Pound Challenge this month I’ve really tried to focus on making conscious choices about my food. I tend to run around my day popping whatever’s within reach into my mouth without thinking twice about it. Thanks wholly to my genetics, my weight and size hasn’t fluctuated much throughout the years, so I…
Raise your hands if you like sunburns! Crickets. Yeah, thought so. Sunburns are just about as fun as a root canal. Actually, I would prefer a root canal because at least they sedate you… Let’s call it like it is, sunburns SUCK (pardon my french). But, unfortunately, the odds are against us all in the summer….
photo source Last Sunday (Father’s Day) I slaved the day away making my lovely hubby’s favorite meals. At the end of the day, he asked for his favorite dessert…gooey, chocolatey, delicious-y BROWNIES. I was half-way through making them (via a mix that I price-matched) and realized… I was out of eggs. DOH! Don’t you hate that?…
Since wrapping up the TLC filming this weekend, I have been ex-HAUS-ted. I haven’t been grocery shopping in weeks because I was on vacation for one week just days before the camera crew arrived. My family is SICK of PB&J’s so last night I decided to get creative and come up with a complete dinner,…
I’ve been asked lots before about baby food. I try to make my own whenever possible (because it’s the easiest thing ever and is a good way to use up produce). But when buying food, I prefer to buy the jarred baby food from Walmart, usually the Beechnut brand (because if you get on their…
Happy Monday! I hope you all had an amazing Mother’s Day weekend. On Friday I was featured on one of my favorite blogs, “One Good Thing By Jillee“! I did a big Costco compilation post that you’ll for sure want to check out. The best part? She’s giving away a 1-year membership!! So run on…
