Do you send holiday cards to friends and family this time of year? We still, every year, send out greeting cards that usually are a photo card, but occasionally we send a photo inside the Christmas cards. Did you know you can make Hallmark photo cards online at the Walmart Photo website? This year, Hallmark gave us the opportunity to try out this simple, beautiful, and quick service. I ordered a couple sets of photo greeting cards for Christmas and they were ready in one hour! And, we were … [Read more...]
Buy Samsung Electronics! Low Prices Found Here!
This post was sponsored by Samsung as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Last week, I dropped Isabella off at her piano lesson. I told her teacher I needed to buy two things at Walmart and I'd be back in time to pick her up. The clock was ticking. I had 30 minutes to hop on I-5, get my two items, check out, and drive back. Thankfully, I knew exactly where the easy to peel mandarin oranges and sweet boxed snacks were … [Read more...]
My Kids Love Watching Olympic Swimming!
This is a sponsored post for SheSpeaks/P&G. It's no secret that my kids love to swim. In fact, as we traveled around North America, many people have expressed surprise and delight seeing my children swim so young. In fact, we even did a pool party for both their birthdays this year. If there's water around, my kids will be in it. They are little fish. Truly. My daughter loved her swimming lessons at the YMCA, and my husband and I were just talking about getting her involved … [Read more...]
Don’t Run Out of Home Essentials This Summer
This is a sponsored post with Walmart and SheSpeaks. All opinions are mine alone. In the summer, hubby and I like to always have new razors in the house. Hubby shaves his head every two days, to the skin. Bald. And of course I am shaving my legs and armpits in the summer time very frequently. Since we have a community pool and I am in a bathing suit pretty often, running out of razors is not an option. Hubby, doesn't like when his receding hair starts growing in so he stays on top of his … [Read more...]
What Household Items to Stockpile this Spring
This is a sponsored post for SheSpeaks/Walmart. Want to know about stockpiling? It's pretty simple. What household items does your family use most each month? Pay attention to that. When you see something go on sale and if you can find an additional coupon - stock up. Building up a stockpile of household items can really save you money in the long run. When we needed diapers, if I saw a great deal, I stocked up. Now, I like to stock up on: paper towels toilet paper shampoo and … [Read more...]
DIY Greeting Card Box
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #SendSmiles #CollectiveBias. We have several family and friend birthdays during the summer months. I like to give unique gifts that are fun and practical. I know a standard gift card is so much easier, but putting some thought into a gift is so much more fun. Don't you think? I don't know about you, but I love when someone puts thought into my own card and gifts. Getting personal … [Read more...]
Easy Preschool in the RV
We've been staying in our RV for almost two weeks. I knew we wouldn't have television cable and I also knew to expect slow internet - so we brought the kids a variety of things to keep them busy in their down time. My daughter brought her iPad, new books, and some dolls. My son, of course, brought an obscene amount of cars and trucks to play with. In addition to his toys, I brought him something educational: the Teach My Preschooler Kit. If you remember, we loved our experience with Teach My … [Read more...]
