I’m sure you all remember that I have been testing Arm and Hammer’s Spinbrush Pro Clean electric toothbrush.  After four weeks, using the battery operated toothbrush, I’m sold.  As a matter of fact, I went out and bought these toothbrushes for every member of our family.  That’s huge!  We don’t just spend money on every [...]

Cheese and Ice Cream and Butter! Oh My!

On September 10, 2011, in Budget-wise, Family Circus, Fitness, Exercise & Health Issues, Reviews, by Glenda Embree

As much as I love cooking and baking, my husband enjoys eating what I make.  Because of lactose intolerance and digestive problems, that hasn’t been as easy for him over the last few years.  Eating the foods he loves most, often results in terrible pain and discomfort, even preventing him from being able to sleep.  [...]

Remember the fabulous Craigslist deal I got on three chairs that inspired a whole decorating project for our empty parlor?  I was finally able to put the finishing touches on that room over Labor Day weekend and I wanted to share some new pictures. I have had this word art, from Uppercase Living, for more [...]

Who’s Sharing YOUR Toothbrush? and a $25 VISA Gift Card Giveaway @bhg

On August 30, 2011, in Budget-wise, Family Circus, Giveaways, Home and Garden, Reviews, by Glenda Embree

I can’t fool you.  As a mom of 5, I have obviously found a toddler or two running around with my toothbrush.  Oh don’t get me wrong, they weren’t sticking it in their mouth or anything — usually just sticking it in the toybox full of goobered toys or dropping it in the toilet or [...]

Taco Soup – Quick and Easy Supper on a Budget – Delicious!

On August 24, 2011, in Budget-wise, In the Kitchen, by Glenda Embree

We were having one of those late afternoons where everyone is scrambling to be in different places for the evening and I needed a quick, easy supper.  I knew I had about 1 1/2 lbs of ground beef in the fridge, but I wasn’t in the mood for hamburgers and we didn’t have any tortilla [...]

When I was invited to become a member of the Carmex Blog Squad, my kids literally laughed out loud.  They wanted to know how Carmex had “found me out” and where the hidden cameras were.    I’m a die-hard Carmex fan.  Year-round you’ll find it in my purse, desk, vanity, medicine cabinet, and passed out [...]
