NFL TeenyMates Collectible Sports Figures (Review & Giveaway) - 3 Winners!

 My eleven year old son is a sports fanatic! Hockey, football, soccer, baseball, basketball, wrestling... he loves and plays them all!  To top it off... his room is decorated from floor to ceiling in sports as well.  Posters, plaques, memorabilia, collectibles and more...

You may remember my review of Lil Teammates NFL sports figurines and collectibles.  Well... there is a new addition in town that kids and sports fans are going to love... Teeny Mates!

 Football is a game of inches. And now you can play it with these one inch collectible sports figures! NFL TeenyMates have arrived!   Each pack includes 2 collectible NFL quaterback figures that are just 1" tall.  They are simply adorable!   

My 8 year old daughter loves these adorable little sports figures as much as my son does.  Of course, she thinks they are cute and fun to play with while my son thinks they should be put up on a shelf and just looked at!   Which means that they both need some that are their own, so they can choose to do with them as they please!

TeenyMates are cute, adorable and tough.  Much like a NFL football player, they can take whatever comes their way.  

My daughter plays with them daily, they tackle each other and even go flying off the table from time to time.


In addition to the fun little NFL players, the double-sided puzzle is a huge hit too.  On one side there is a cute mini poster with all the sports figures and on the other side a mini football field!  TeenyMates sports figures and the puzzle are sure to provide hours of fun and enjoyment for your little sports fan.

I don't feel at all like I'm drinking an alcoholic drink, it's more like a slush dessert.  Top with a piece of fresh fruit on the side of the glass and it's the perfect way to end a long, hot summer day!

Arbor Mist Frozen Wine Cocktails are a new way to enjoy great-tasting wine with a splash of fruit, frozen! Great for a backyard party, pool day, barbeque or casual get-together with friends and family – simply freeze, squeeze and enjoy.

Get Organized with Packaways Plastic Storage Boxes



Finding ample storage space can prove to be a difficult task, especially when you have children and/or limited space.  When it comes to our household, toys and bulky winter clothes seem to take up too much space. So finding an easy, convenient way to store them is a must!

Packaways are the perfect storage solution.  They fold flat for convenience when not in use, simply slide them under the bed or into the back of the closet.  When you need a durable storage box, simply press the opposite corners and the bottom automatically folds and locks into place!  

Whether you're packing up season clothing, toys, books... Packaways are perfect.  They even have a dry erase, wipe away panel that you can easily label what is inside each storage box.  When you take those items out and replace them with something else, just wipe off and label again!

  • Corrugated Plastic, Protects from Water & Humidity
  • Instant Set-Up, No Tape Required
  • Reuse Hundreds of Times
  • Collapses Flat When Not in Use
  • Unique Wipe Away End Panel

My Nutrisystem Weight Loss Journey: Week 9


I've never liked the word diet, and one thing I love about Nutrisystem is that it's all about making healthy (and proper) choices!  I don't feel like I'm missing out, I'm not always hungry, and I don't feel like I'm on a diet at all.  Losing weight is all about choices and Nutrisystem has taught me how to succeed.

I volunteer at my children's elementary school, so I am around parents, students and staff every day of the school week.  I've been a very active parent, volunteer and playground duty for several years now... since my 6th grader started Kindergarten, so I'm "well-known" by many.

In the past week I've received several comments from parents, staff and even a student...

Staff member:  "You are a mere shadow of the person you used to be.  Doesn't it feel great?"

Parent:  "WOW, Look at you. You've lost a TON of weight!" 

And this one is my favorite of all because it came from a 2nd grader at school, and we all know how brutally honest children are - good or bad...

"You are sooooo skinny!  Why are you so skinny now?"

I don't expect people to comment on how much weight I've lost, but it's always nice to hear.  It's another way of knowing that what I'm doing is really working!

During my 9th week on the Nutrisystem program, I lost...

Our Summer Adventure

It was summer, we had a long weekend coming up, and we were pretty low on funds. It was tough being a single parent but I was determined we would do something all of us could enjoy. My daughter was eighteen; my son was eleven, so it was hard to find a common interest. I’m just thankful my daughter was more flexible because it takes a lot more to interest my son. All she really needs is a book to make her happy!
 
So I sat the kids down and told them what we had to work with and asked them if they had any ideas. We all wanted to get away, see something new, and check out some new scenery. We had a little three man dome tent and decided we would go camping. We were not really keen on the whole no air conditioning thing since we lived in Texas. The nights were not much different than the days as far as the temperature went. We called around to a few of the state parks but could only secure a cabin for two nights and not the three we needed. These cabins had real beds, air conditioning, safety from mosquitoes, and a place to cook. What more could you want?
 
Now we just had to figure out what to do for the first night. We decided to go half way and stay at a state park closer to our home. We brought along a small fan, a small television with videos, and our two small Toy Fox Terriers. Everything started out joyous, my son loved to fish and we had our poles ready. My daughter was equipped with enough books and I brought the games. The car was packed tight because of all the extra electronics and also because mom is not as young as she used to be and brought along lots of padding! We were just happy to be on the road and on an adventure. 
 
We got a late start the first day, probably from packing the car, I’m not very good at packing. Plus the fact that I want to make sure I have absolutely everything I might ever need for any and all circumstances! My children tease me about this, because at times my purse resembles Mary Poppin’s magical bag. This makes me think of another time when my daughter went on an all day trip with her class to a local amusement park. I faithfully check the weather every morning to make sure the kids are dressed for it. The season was fall and in our part of Texas that means nobody really knows what the weather will be! It said rain was a possibility and it might turn chilly. So into my daughter’s back pack to her chagrin went an umbrella, hoodie, fresh pair of socks, band aids, Pepto-Bismol tablets, ibuprofen, snacks, juice, and well, I think you get the picture. I was so proud of myself that day and I made my daughter the hero of the hour. 

Needless to say it did rain and when I say rain I don’t mean sprinkle. The first part of the day was great and I thought perhaps it was overkill on my part. But then it was torrential, they huddled in masses under coverings; they had split up into groups and had a meeting point at the end of the day. Since they didn’t know where anyone was they had to wait in the meeting place and most groups were staying where they were because of the heaviness of the rain. First of all my daughter was thrilled that she could get into her locker and had one of the only umbrellas. After that someone came up with an awful headache and stomach ache, for which she had the remedy. Someone else had a blister and she produced the band aide. When they arrived at the bus a little girl was noticeably turning a bit blue from being soaked to the bone to which my daughter offered a dry pair of socks and a towel, yes, I forgot to mention the towel. *pats herself on back* The teachers were impressed, the kids called it the magic bag, and everyone that needed it got a handful of snacks for the trip home. Ta Da! I think I regress, back to the story now.
 
We arrived at our first park at dusk. Not a good time to put up your tent when you are novices. Granted, it was a dome tent, how hard could it be? I’m so very thankful that my daughter was there, the reader, because had it been up to me and my son we would have slept with the mosquitoes! (More likely, the car) My daughter finished with the tent, we put our padding down, the fan in, the TV in, and the dog’s kennels in. Remember now, this is a three man tent; it was cozy to say the least. Since it was dusk when we erected our home for the night we were negligent in scoping out the terrain. It was something like the Princess and the Pea book I suppose, in that we could feel every root and rock under all that padding. In the beginning we were snacking and watching a video, we had decided to make the best of it. It was during the dark of the night when the mood began to shift. Never mind the fact that we had roots in our backs, or that we had doggy breath in our nostrils, or that my son was sleeping on my back. A very large dog began to bark relentlessly, following this we heard loud voices, and then a shot rang out. The dog stopped barking…. We didn’t know if the dog was happy now that the intruder was dead or the dog was dead. Here we are under a piece of material that I assume is nylon and that is all that separates us from the wild and the crazies. We all sat up and listened. We decided then and there that as soon as the first hint of light came up we were getting out of there! You’ve never seen two children help pack faster. Too bad you can’t bottle this type of adrenalin!

Tighten, Firm & Tone - It Works! Ultimate Body Wrap Giveaway!

 Have you heard about It Works! body wraps,  beauty and wellness products?  In recent months I have heard more and more people raving about the effects and results of using the It Works! products - especially their ultimate body applicator (AKA body wrap).  With all the hype, I simply had to try their product for myself.  

I knew that I wanted to try the It Works! Body Wrap.  I only had one dilemma... stomach or thighs, which trouble area was I going to wrap in hopes of getting amazing results?  Being a mother of two wonderful children, and two c-sections, I decided that my stomach was in need of the most attention.

I'll admit that I was skeptical and wasn't sure what to expect as I took my before measurements and applied the wrap to my stomach.  Almost immediately I felt this warm, tingly sensation under the wrapped area - very weird!  Did that mean it was working?

45 minutes after the initial wrap, I had already lost 2 inches.  Wow, It Works!  I couldn't wait to see what my 72 hour results were going to be... an additional inch, for a total loss of 3 inches.  

I'd love to wrap my stomach a few more times to maximize my results.   I'd also love to wrap my inner thighs in hopes of them no longer rubbing together.  I'd still be ME just with a tighter, firmer and more toned tummy! Something that I have been dreaming of for years.

Three Reasons Why Online Colleges Are Worth a Consideration

I'll never forget the year I graduated high school. I was excited and ready to begin my life after four years of high school. One fateful night during my senior year, however, my father and mother pulled me into the kitchen and told me that they wouldn't be able to pay for college. Since my childhood, they had worked hard to save up for my education, but after losing their jobs, they were just trying to stay above water and the only financial resource available to them was my college savings.
 
Through the years, many people have asked me if I was angry at my parents for making that decision. The truth is that I absolutely wasn't. I knew they needed the money, and truth be told, I knew there were other college options available. After looking into scholarships and online colleges, I decided to forgo the traditional brick-and-mortar university and go to an online college instead. That decision turned out to be one of my best. I was able to stay home with my parents and help them get back on their feet while going to school. For those of you who are considering an online college, here are three reasons why the decision might be worthwhile. 
 
Online colleges are cheaper
 
College tuition is expensive, but so are the other expenses that come coupled along with college. Everything from rent, food, football tickets, extracurricular activities, etc. can add up very quickly and put a dent in your wallet. When I decided to pursue an online college, my budget was very small. Thankfully, I was able to find more than enough programs that fit into my budget. The best thing about it was that I avoided all the other expenses that most university students have to pay.
 
You don't have to commute

Easy Ways to Teach Your Children About Money

As a kid I remember thinking that the amount of money my parents had to spend was endless.  I'd say... "Just write a check!"  Not knowing that you actually had to have money in the account for the check to be worth something.    

Growing up, my parents always made my siblings and I put at least half of our money into our savings accounts.  It didn't matter if it was money we earned from doing chores, from working a job or birthday money.  We each had our own savings account for as long as I can remember.  I also remember thinking how stupid it was to be forced to save half of my money.  Besides, none of my friends had savings accounts.

As I grew older and became an adult, I began to realize and understand what a valuable and important life lesson my parents had taught us.  Being smart about money is essential to making ends meet.  

Now, as a parent myself, I've taught my children that same important lesson about money, saving and spending.  Children learn my example, so I do my best to make smart choices about spending by using coupons and shopping clearance. 

It's never to early to start teaching children about money.  My children are 11 and 8 years old, but have had a savings account since they were just a few months old.  As my parents did with me years ago, the majority of my children's money goes into a savings account or an investment CD.

As a frugal coupon shopper, my children witness money saving tips on a regular basis.  Often times I give the coupons to my children so they can help me shop and see first hand just how much money we are saving by making smart choices!

3 Easy Ways to Get Cheaper Home Owners' Insurance

Buying a home is expensive, there is no denying that. After closing costs and appraisal fees, homeowner's insurance is probably the last thing on your mind—just another costly expense. But if you think that skipping out on purchasing homeowners insurance is good way to cut some corners and continue a "frugal" lifestyle, you're wrong. The truth is, without home owner's insurance you can potentially lose thousands of dollars if your valuables get stolen or accidentally damaged in storm or fire. 
 
That said, protecting your investment—your home—with insurance is the smartest thing you can possibly do. However, there are a few ways that you can obtain some discounts so that you're "added expense" isn't so, well, expensive. To learn how to chop down the price of your homeowner's insurance, continue reading below.
 
Combine Policies. First and foremost, if you already have auto's insurance your best bet is to see if your insurance provider offers homeowner's insurance too. Most companies offer "bundle packages" at a special discounted rate to their customers. So before you go hunting for an individual home insurance provider (which you should to compare prices) you should see what kind of offer your current auto insurance provider will offer you.
 
Improve Home Security.  While it varies from policy-to-policy, most insurance providers offer discounts to those who can prove that their home is equipped with necessary safety-precautionary tools such as working alarm systems—sometimes you can save up to 15%. But most home security discounts are not limited to alarm systems. Other home modifications that typically give discounts include the following: smoke detectors, dead-bolt locks, carbon monoxide detectors, possession of a fire extinguisher, and an updated heating system just to name a few. 

If your house is located near a fire hydrant or better—a fire department—you may be subject to some additional discounts too. Of course, there are several different security measures that can grant you a discount(s). So make sure you talk to an agent for a proper list of potential discounts.
