Recently, I started a 3 part series on saving money on gas. There are tons of ways out there to save money while driving but I thought that I would focus on a few, more realistic ones. Slow down Speed Racer! On the freeways where we live, people routinely drive, ehh- hem, let’s just say too fast. From the research I have found, each 10 miles per hour increase in speed represents a 15% reduction in fuel economy. So let’s {Read More}

This is a fun one.. Swamp or Frog Smoothie.. it’s a “blended up frog”.. Complete with “eyeballs” to slurp up!! Gross, right? Well, that is the point!! My oldest daughter was a bit scared of it, lol.. but my youngest mostly just thought it tasted good and drank it up (my oldest drank hers, too). But I think boys would LOVE this drink, even if it wasn’t Halloween 🙂 So, have you heard of Boba yet? It’s also called bubble {Read More}

We have had Flynn for {Read More}
Continuing our series on Healthy Food for Halloween today I have some Chocolate Banana Eye Pops. These do have a bit of chocolate on them (and you could use dark chocolate or simply leave it off all together) but overall they are a healthier, fun treat for Halloween. I love how these little pumpkins turned out. They were just ones I found at the dollar store, but you could also use real ones, gourds, large apples or just pop the {Read More}

Did you know grocery items go in sale in cycles? This means that if you can stock up every couple months and pretty much never need to pay full price. This is why I am really looking forward to getting a freezer. Then I can buy 6 loaves of $.99 Sara Lee Bread at the Dollar Store for the hubby- now I can only buy 2-3. And I will totally stock up on meats and fish. We are saving for {Read More}

Plus these would be great to send in your kids lunch ANYTIME. Imagine their surprise when they open their lunch to a container of fingers.. lol. I saw this idea for {Read More}

But even though my hubby is not a cat person he made me a “voucher” {Read More}
