Have the 2nd Talk with Poise #PoiseFab5

2012-10-02T20:30:00.001-05:00

Do these items looks familiar to you? They didn't to me either until I went to the Walmart website one day and saw up in the corner a link for Poise and the 2nd Talk. What the heck was the 2nd Talk? Hang on to your seats, or rather your fans, it was about menopause. Yes, the nasty M word that my husband finds funny to taunt me with whenever I'm hot I'm taking off clothes and everyone else is

Graduating one life, starting a new one

2012-06-01T08:51:00.001-05:00

This is my son. Ok, he may not have been born to me but when I married his father he became mine. I watched him walk across the stage this past weekend and receive his diploma. A day we struggled for, for the last 4 years. He was not the best of students, he was forgetful and at times careless, but he always tried his best and treated people with respect and a smile. Drew is a good kid. That's

Family movie night with We Bought a Zoo #CBias #iLovemyK9

2012-04-07T14:04:00.002-05:00

Once or twice a month I will rent a movie at Blockbuster or from the pay per view channels on my tv. This time I decided to do things a bit differently. I had to go to Walmart to pick up a few things, including something 'yummy' for my son, and saw the movie "We Bought a Zoo" as soon as I walked in the door. The other day when I was at Walmart buying dog food cat food I saw a 'get $4 off the

Adding to Paypal using Coinstar #CBias #PayPalCoinstar

2012-03-23T08:49:00.001-05:00

Hubby and I had a full day yesterday. We had so many errands to run, including the doctor, the DMV, the grocery store and so on. I had gathered the change around the house and thought I'd look for a Coinstar kiosk to get rid of some of it. I was surprised when I got to my Brookshire's and saw that it is connected with PayPal now. To be honest, I may have seen it in the past but didn't really pay

Dry eyes and Granny glasses

2012-02-24T06:10:00.000-06:00

You know the commercials on tv that talk about dry eyes and how your eyes can't make enough tears? Well, for some reason, and I'm honestly not sure why, I've made fun of those for a long time. Looks like karma's a bugger! I went to the eye doctor for the first time in about 15 years because my eyes hurt all the time and I had trouble focusing after crocheting or doing something close up. And, you

2012-02-13T09:42:00.001-06:00

Well, to be honest with you, I had a bugger of a time trying to find this International Delights #IcedCoffee. First I thought it would be with the creamer but couldn't find it there. Then I thought it was a mix so I looked at the coffee aisle but it wasn't there. Finally I found it by chocolate milk, which, I thought, was a funny place for it, but I was glad to find it.I had heard so much about

Frosted Toast Crunch cereal giveaway #MyBlogSpark

2012-01-10T12:10:00.001-06:00

I recently purchased this new cereal for my son because he's a fan of the 'Toast Crunch' cereals. It's new and he likes to try new things so I wasn't afraid of that, what I was afraid of was that this box of cereal didn't stand a chance and would be gone in the blink of the eye as soon as the other kids found out about it. I was right. He loved it. And the box was gone that same night after my

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about my struggles when I was a young mother living in a bad relationship. If the internet had been around then my life would have been so much easier (yes, there was a time was when the internet was not in every household, believe it or not!) I have made a pledge to myself every year since getting out of that relationship, that I will be aware of my actions and the

You know how you can just be surfing the net one day and come across something that you wish you had found 20 years ago? I was recently led to a website called Brave Woman. It's a website to help women get out of violent situations, including domestic violence. 20 years ago I was in such a situation. My 1st husband was an alcoholic, and, let's just say, he was not a happy drunk. I was young and

Teaching my son how important it is to donate, using Coinstar #CBias

2011-12-11T11:49:00.000-06:00

This was a very busy for our family. My husband was in a parade, we had grocery shopping to do, we had Christmas shopping to do, and we had to get it all done in one day because my hubby had to work on Sunday. So where, in all of this could we find time to donate any money to any charity? And how could we afford it this time of the year? Well, thanks to Coinstar and all the loose change in

Lane Bryant Buy $200 get $100 off!! 11/30 12/1 only

2011-11-30T08:14:00.000-06:00

The one bit of advice I can ever give someone who wants to save money is to subscribe to emails by as many companies as you like to buy from...and then a few more. You just never know when you're going to find a great discount code. For example: this morning I got an email from Lane Bryant discount code that gives you $100 off of a purchase of $200. Even for a place like Lane Bryant, whose

Money experiment for my 21 year old

2011-11-29T07:28:00.000-06:00

Last night I told my daughter we are having chicken for supper tonight. 'UGH' was her response, for the third day in a row. Sunday I made homemade pea soup....'Eww, that's disgusting'. Monday I made spaghetti....'you know I hate spaghetti'. Tonight chicken....'ugh, again?'. So I've made a decision. I'm going to give my daughter, who is 21, my grocery money for the month and see what she can do

STP Multipurpose Motor Treatment #CBias #engineluv

Guest post from my husband, James Harris. You know how, when you're a kid, you follow your father around and do what he does? That's how my love for motors started. My dad tinkered on everything from cars and trucks to lawn mowers and go carts. So I guess it's only natural that I use the same products he does. He was a firm believer in using STP products and I still buy them on a regular basis.

Thank goodness for #TysonGoodness and Tyson Mini Chicken Sandwiches #CBias

2011-11-26T20:00:00.000-06:00

I have been so busy lately, with shopping and holiday cooking, it was so nice to have something to fall back on when 'the masses' got hungry the other day and I was busy. I was at Walmart the day before Thanksgiving to pick up a few things and picked up Tyson Mini Chicken Sandwiches. I stuck them in the freezer when I got home and didn't give them much thought after that. The next day when I was
