Fiber One Chewy Giveaway

 

How fun is this? And just in time for summer!!

We've just recently tried the new Fiber One Chewy bars and my whole family really liked them.  I think everyone's favorite was the Strawberry PB&J.  It's a healthy choice for my boys' lunch box.

Remember our Teachers

As the end of the school year is quickly approaching, many of us will take the time to write a note or give a gift of appreciation to our children's teachers.  (Don't forget Teacher Appreciation Week is May 7th-11th this year)  These men and women take great pride in what they do, put up with a ton of "other" children, (not mine and yours of course), and don't get paid enough. My boys get very

Easy No-Bake Pie

For those that know me, I am not known for my splendid baking abilities.  In other words I'm baking challenged. My family encourages me to bring appetizers, snacks, or heck, make the whole dinner, but they know not to ask me to bring something baked.  I even had an Easy Bake Oven growing up.  Waste. Of. Money.
Here is one of my favorite don't-have-to-turn-my-oven-on dessert recipes.  It's

The Photo Booth

   I would have to say this was my favorite part of the Tea Party this year.  After seeing how the pictures turned out, it was a definite.  Photo Booths are a very inexpensive way to create some fun at your party.  I purchased the striped material at Hobby Lobby and hung it from the window.  I added a section of colored pennants and a chair.  I set up my tripod and camera with my nifty remote

The Circus was in town!

Last year I started a tradition with the girls in my family. Every year on the Saturday before Easter, I host a Tea Party. Last year's theme was just your basic antique tea party. View it here.This year I went a different direction and chose a circus theme. So. Much. Fun. It was colorful, happy, childish, and fun! (and no weird clowns)I want to share with you the pictures and some of the

"New" Cupboard

I wanted to replace my metal baker's rack with something a little more rustic.  I found this gem for $20 at an antique store in Nederland, TX a while back and just now getting around to putting it in the house.  I didn't do anything to it.  I left it in all it's junky, chipped, state.  I like it.  Some people might think it's a little "too rustic" but to me it just adds to the charm.  My favorite

Gone Green...

Well, not completely.  
Maybe just a light shade of "green."



Hopefully by now you know how much I love to save money,  whether it's redoing furniture or making my own body scrub. 

Also, some of you may be familiar with my sister Kelly's story and how she had heart surgery last year.  Smells and perfumes have always bothered her and it seemed to worsen after the surgery.  Weird huh?  So my
