With hurricane season quickly approaching, having a plan in place before it becomes necessary is very important if you live anywhere near coastal waters. Although where I live is about a 4 hour drive from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, even our town in Northwest Mississippi was affected by Hurricane Katrina. We had damaging winds and [...]
I love beauty and skincare products. There’s ample proof of that in all of my drawers in the bathroom and even under the bathroom sink. If it’s new and promises results I need, I’ll try it. As I’m aging (gah….I hate admitting that one!), I’m looking for products that are more healthy and natural. My [...]
I love having a garbage disposal in our kitchen sink, but I often don’t use it for the simple fact that it’s hard to keep it smelling fresh. I can remember years ago doing an internet search for a product to clean the disposal and finding absolutely nothing but homemade remedies that never worked. Since [...]
I love shopping for clothes for my little guy, but if you have a little boy, I’m sure you’ve been in the same position as I’ve been many times…frustrated about the lack of cute clothing for boys. My son is 6 now and he is starting to develop his own taste in clothing, which is [...]
Washday soaps? Jane tried ‘em all, and every new detergent. But, none matched Tide – and so she cried, “Please send some Tide! It’s urgent!” To celebrate its 65th anniversary, Tide is releasing special edition retro 1947 packaging on its laundry detergent, Bounce dryer sheets, and Downey fabric softener available during this month in Target [...]

By combining coupons with a great sale, it’s easy to shave several dollars off our shopping [...]
I’m a hand-washing freak. I know it’s the most important thing I can do to protect myself against germs and sickness so I can stay healthy to do everything else a mom has to do in a day. If you’re a parent, you know there is just no time to be sick. I also use [...]
Have you ever had the experience of something happening to you, and you just couldn’t offer any human explanation for it? I love hearing and reading about these types of things. I love experiencing them in my own life and sometimes I refer to them as “God winks”, but at other times, these experiences in life [...]
Most days, I can say with all honesty that it’s coffee that gets me going each morning. One of my very favorite hot beverages is a cappuccino, but living in a small town, really good ones are hard to come by. No fancy coffee chain stores here! I had resigned myself to this fact, [...]
Right after my husband and I got married, one thing I discovered to help us save money on our grocery bill was couponing. Back then, saving a few cents made me happy. Since then, I’ve learned that I can significantly cut our grocery bill down to a much more affordable amount just by re-learning how [...]
