My 5 Year old makes her own necklace

This is so cute, I let her sister make a necklace yesterday. And she wanted to make one too. So I told her I would help her tomorrow when everyone is in school. Sure enough she asked and wanted to do it hersself. She picked her own pattern and used a real needle. Too cute!

New Shoes!

Have you guys heard of skechers fitness footwear? Well, My cousin on facebook said she wanted a pair. I never heard of them. But was curious! So, I googled them and thought they looked like cute shoes. Lots of styles to pick from. So, saturday my Husband & I decided to go shoe shopping. We both bought a pair. They do feel different. And there was like three others in the check out buying them. Shelves were pratically bare. I'm surprised we found some our size.

Introducing the Skechers fitness footwear. Shape up while you walk. Designed to promote weight loss, Tone muscles and Improve posture. They do keep you on your toes.
Get in shape without stepping foot in the gym. I feel like I'm walking in sand. Day number three is tomorrow and we have been taking walks. Feet don't hurt. I'm getting use to this.

Crocheting again!

I wanted to make one of those Kufi hats and hunted down a pattern. Needless to say I looked everywhere for my crochet hook and couldn't find it. We moved and I don't know where everything went. So I kept looking, thinking I got to have one stuck in some project I haven't finished. And there it was... I whipped up three hats and my daughter is modeling the hot pink one I made. They are quick and easy.

How to save buying grocerys

Its all up too you! Buy what you eat-
Use coupons for products that you use.
And keep it simple. Grocery shopping doesn't need to be a chore.
For example:


This was at Smiths-
Without coupons, discounts and rewards would have cost: $68.02 My price: $14.17

Here's another one at Lee's-



At Lee's without coupons and discounts and rewards would have cost: $67.13
My Price was an even wash with my rewards rebate card I was a little low and added some gum and I didn't have to pay a dime out of my own pocket.

Eating Right!

Eating Right!

1. Indulge in the season

when fresh fruit and vegetables are in season- INDULGE!!!!

2. Be smart in the Off Season

Apples and Bananas tend to stay relatively low- priced all year. as do Oranges!

3. Prepare for a rainy Day

Frozen and canned fruits and vegetables are wonderful during the winter.

4. Buy Frozen-cheap

frozen is generally cheaper than fresh so buy when the season allow better price.

5. Buy in Bulk

warehouse stores can be overwhelming, so know what your family eats and stock up.

6. Make Bread

Nothing beats homemade fresh bread.

7. Clip coupons

use coupons and remember coupons used on stuff you buy is a bargain but not on things you don't normally buy.

8. Go dried

Nothing locks in the fresh flavor than dried fruits, & vegetables.

9. Use less expensive protein

red meat isn't the only protein, eggs, beans. same goes for cottage cheese and yogurts

10. Increased convenience = Increased cost

such as skinless boneless chicken and chopped broccoli
save money and do it yourself.


Keep yourself and your family healthy needs to be a priority. With little effort, you can make it happen even on a budget.
