Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book to review. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Tired?
Despite the fact that I get a lot done, I do not consider myself a high energy person. So I wasn’t really concerned with how tired I have been. At least not at first. I homeschool 5 children, work part-time from home, do the housekeeping, cooking, laundry, etc. It’s a lot of work. Being tired…
Say Goodbye to Survival Mode Review
In November I happened to see a post in my Facebook feed about signing up for a chance to be on the launch team for Crystal Paine’s (Money Saving Mom) upcoming book, Say Goodbye to Survival Mode. Based on the title alone, I decided to sign up. At the time, I really felt like I…
2013 is Almost Gone
It’s hard to say it without sounding cliche, but time really does fly. Even more so the older that I get. As I reflect upon another year, I hope that I have grown. I know that I have, but it’s sometimes hard to see in the midst of the day to day trials. I still…

I am so happy to report that I have finished all the Christmas shopping! And yes, I know that is nothing special for December 19th (some people are finished in July, but I am NOT one of those people.) I also mailed out the last of the Christmas cards this morning (to be delivered locally).…

How to Make Catalog Christmas Trees
I love making decorations for Christmas. But it’s hard to spend extra money on craft supplies at Christmas with an already stretched budget. (Really, I SHOULD think about Christmas crafting all year long, but I never do.) But if your house is anything like ours, you probably receive tons of catalogs this time of year.…
Easy Canvas Prints Review
I was recently contacted by Easy Canvas Prints with an opportunity to review one of their products. I have seen many advertisements for photo canvases, but I have never actually purchased one, so I was eager to see what they looked like close up. Then came the hard part. (The only hard part.) Picking out…
MacLarry & The Stinky Cheese Battle Review
If you like to talk to tomatoes, If a squash can make you smile, If you like to waltz with potatoes, Up and down the produce aisle…. Have we got a show for you! Yes, I just typed that from memory. We received our first Veggie Tales video, Rack, Shack, and Benny, for my oldest…
