When heartache turns into a blessing

My heart is torn.  It is not sure how exactly to feel.

My heart is heavy and sad knowing my friend has left this life to begin his heavenly journey.  But I rejoice knowing that he will no longer be in any pain and that he traded his earthly body in for wings.  I am at peace knowing that Ira will be greeted by my mom and all those who have passed on before him.   He is truly in good hands :)

My heart is full of joy in receiving a beautiful picture text stating my sister in law had given birth to a beautiful baby girl.

As one beautiful soul was leaving this earth to begin his heavenly journey, one beautiful creation was being delivered into this world to begin her earthly journey :)

For those who knew Ira~  Though my tears and sadness, I have to giggle a little in knowing that everyone in Heaven will be as loved and entertained as Ira kept us here on Earth.

Guess what the mailman left......

It's here~ It's here~ It's finally here.  I am so excited :)  The mail person has dropped off my box and envelope:)

What did I get you might ask?  I got these:
Most of you are probably laughing right now at my excitement over a crock-pot, laminator and a book.  But that is OK because I am one happy mama:)

Coming to Florida with only 1 crockpot- big mistake.  Even though I couldn't help it, the other crock-pot broke in Virginia, leaving me with 1 crock-pot.  Which wouldn't have been such a bad thing except for my crock-pot cooking each night.  When I am using my crock-pot for dinner, I can't use it for making yogurt or anything else.  So, another crock-pot was definately needed:)  And it is purple- you probably can't tell from the picture.  Purple is my favorite color.  So, when I found a purple crock-pot at a very good price, I just had to get it.

The laminator is going to come in handy with our school work.  I am going to have so much fun with that.  I am going to be a laminating queen. Who knows what I may end up laminating in the process :)

The Oh, For Real book by Laura Coppinger was on my Christmas and Birthday wishlist.  I told my hubby that if I didn't get her book, I was going to order it:)  And I am so glad I did.  Her book is amazing.  Once I ripped into the large envelope and started to read her book, I couldn't put it down until I was done.  I don't know Laura Coppinger in real life but am a huge fan of her blog and through her blog and now her book, I feel like I can connect with her and her family.  Her book is written as if you is talking with you at your kitchen table as a friend:)  I highly recommend getting this book, plus it has some amazing recipes not found on her blog:)

And now for the best part- who can guess how much all of this cost me?

I got the crock-pot, the laminator and Laura's book all for....................  Are you ready for this?  You may want to sit down if you are not already sitting because I got all the above for FREE.

Yes, you read that right.  I didn't pay a dime out of my own pocket for any of the above.  You may be asking how in the world I managed to do that.  I will let you in on a little secret.  One word actually~

Swagbucks.  Thank you Swagbucks.  Thanks to Swagbucks, I was able to save my points and cash out for Paypal and a Walmart giftcard that I used to pay for the crock-pot, the laminator and Laura's book.

For those not familiar with Swagbucks, let me fill you in:
Swagbucks is a search engine that randomly rewards you for doing what you do every day, searching the Internet.  I get points for taking daily polls, watching videos, searching the Internet, etc.  Then you can cash those points out for gift cards, Paypal and other things. I love it.

It is super easy to sign up for Swagbucks.  Just click here and fill out the easy form. Plus enter in the sign up code, FreeGiftCards and you will receive 50 extra Swagbucks.  Let me know if you have questions.  I hope you will fall in love with Swagbucks as I have :)

Happy Searching:)

Lowes Build & Grow Clinic~ February 22, 2014

Lowes will be hosting a Build & Grow Clinic on February 22nd at 10am. It has been a while.  We are excited that Lowe's decided to bring these back. My younger boys love doing them and the older ones love helping the younger ones with their project:)

If you are looking for a great free activity that you can do with your kids- you should check out the Lowes Build & Grow Clinics. Little Michael and Nathan love them. They love being able to do hands on projects with our help.

To sign up for this Build & Grow Clinic, simply go to the Lowes Build & Grow Clinic website, which they have redone to make it more user friendly. I am loving this new website. You register all your information. Then when you visit the website to sign up for an upcoming clinic, all you have to do is sign in and check which kids you are signing up. Don't forget to print and sign the waiver. And you and your child(ren) are ready for a really cool FREE hands on project.

Once you and your child(ren) complete the project they will receive a neat patch to put on their Lowes Build & Grow apron. If this is your first clinic, your child(ren) will receive a free Lowes Build & Grow apron and goggles:) The more clinics you do, the more patches you get to put on your kids apron and they can show them off with pride:)

Dial Vitamin Boost bodywash Review & Giveaway


What kind of soap do you use in the shower?  Are you a bar person, a bodywash person or a what ever you can get for cheap or free person?  We are among the last- we use what ever we can get for free.  Only problem is that when I use bar soap on my skin, it feels so tight and dry :(  I was excited when asked to review New Dial Vitamin bodywash:)

New Dial Vitamin Boost bodywash gives your skin a daily boost of vitamins.  The advanced formula, with a moisturizing Vitamin Complex, helps draw vitamins and moisture directly to your skin for healthy, soft skin.

Dial Vitamin Boost lotion infused bodywash has become my new favorite bodywash.  It smells great and has an awesome rich lather.


With 4 boys, I am always busy and always on the go.  Sitting still is not something I know how to do- LOL:)  I am always forgetting to put lotion on before I go anywhere.  When do I remember that I forgot to put lotion on my super dry skin?  Right when I am shaking hand with someone- of course:)  Using this bodywash, my hands are not as dry as they normally are :)

Interesting fact that I just learned:  Vitamin B is a natural humectant that helps draw in moisture and keep skin hydrated :)  This Dial bodywash has Vitamin B in it.

Do you have dry skin like me?  Want to put New Dial Vitamin Boost bodywash through your own test?  You are in luck:)  They have blessed me with 3 coupons to bless my wonderful readers with.  2 coupons are good for a FREE bottle of Dial Vitamin Boost bodywash and 1 coupon is good for Dial for Men Power Scrub bodywash.

Simply leave me a comment below and you will be entered to win 1 coupon.  This coupon giveaway will end on 11:59 EST on February 19th.  I will use random.org to randomly select 3 lucky winners on February 20, 2014.  First winner picked will get first choice as to which coupon they would like to receive.

**The Dial brand provided me with a sample of Dial Vitamin Boost bodywash in exchange for a product review.  However, all the opinions expressed here are my very own.**

Purex Crystals Review & Giveaway

I was excited to try out Purex Crystals.

I have tried laundry enhancers before and have not been too thrilled with them.  They smell great out of the bottle but once you line dry the clothes, poof the sent is gone :(

I figured the same with Purex Crystals but once again they proved me wrong.  I am so in love with this nice crisp scent.  I put the crystals in first, then add detergent, add clothes and walk away.

When rinse time comes, I even add vinegar to my rinse cycle.  As most of you know, we line dry our clothes.  And to my absolutely wonderful surprise, the line dried clothes I washed using Purex Crystals smell awesome.  You can still smell the scent of the crystals on my clothes, towels, sheets and anything else I needed to wash :)  I love it:)

Want to see how Purex Crystals work for your laundry?

Purex has blessed me with 3 coupons good for a FREE 28oz bottle of Purex Crystals Fresh Mountain Breeze to give out to my wonderful readers.  Simply leave me a comment below and you will be entered to win 1 coupon.  This coupon giveaway will end on 11:59 EST on February 12th.  I will use random.org to randomly select 3 lucky winners on February 13, 2014.

Before you go: To celebrate the release of New Purex Crystals Fresh Mountain Breeze, the Purex brand will be hosting a Sweepstakes.  One grand prize winner will receive $500 while 100 second place winners will receive a coupon for FREE Purex Crystals Fresh Mountain Breeze.  Go here to enter this free sweepstakes :)

**The Purex brand provided me a sample of Purex Crystals Fresh Moutain Breeze in exchange for a product review.  However, all the opinions expressed here are my very own.**

Adventures in Container Gardening

Since the last update, we had some rainy days and the rain knocked off the 2 tomatoes from their vine.  They are small but looking good.  We cannot wait to slice them up:)
The rest of our container garden:
Cherry Tomatoes finally turning orange- yea!!

Green Pepper getting bigger
Spinach explosion:)
Lettuce babies still hanging on
Everything is going great- so far.  I am happy I haven't killed anything else :)  Next week, we should have another container to add to my backyard container garden.  Our church gave us some green bean seeds and I am eager to get them planted and see what I can do with those:)  I have never attempted green beans before so this should be quite interesting:)

Until next time......

January 2014 Goal Update

Let's see how we did with our January 2014 goals:

 1) To not eat out or at least to not pay out of pocket, with the exception of tips. If we want to treat the family to a meal out, we will make sure we have a gift card to cover all of us.
We did awesome with this goal :)

2) Pay off 2 credit cards
Still plugging away and getting closer with each month- yea!!

3) Not to use any of our credit cards for 2014. To pay cash for everything.
We did fantastic with this goal and paid cash or used our debit card for our bigger purchases.

4) To maintain our grocery budget. Our current grocery budget is $400 month for our family of 6. Our goal is to use up to that amount to feed our family healthy nourishing meals.  If we are lucky enough to come under our monthly budget, we will save that amount.
We did go over our January 2014 grocery budget by $83 but since we had purchased enough food for 40 freezer meals, it is running over into February.  We decided to combine January & February's grocery budget together.  Let's see how we do :)


5) To create a monthly meal plan for our family, to use leftovers more efficiently and to make use of everything in our pantry and freezer.  Try our hand at freezer cooking.
Did fabulous with goal.  Hubby and I tackled our first freezer cooking session and are loving it so far:)

6) Lose weight- I need to get motivated to lose this baby weight- my goal is to lose 10 lbs this year.
I started using T-Tapp.  I am loving it.  Very low impact so I won't aggravate previous injuries but very effective.  I lost 2 pounds and 2 inches off my waist doing T-Tapp without watching what I ate my first 14 days.  Am anxious to see how much I will lose in February:)

7) Morning devotions, prayer time and more bible reading
Finished my devotional book but have been praying more.  I need to get back into the swing of things with bible reading.

8) Monthly date night with hubby- whether we go out or stay at home, pop popcorn and rent a movie
Didn't do anything in January :(  


9) To spend quality family time together. With everyones schedule and us running all over creation, I would love to spend more quality time together- no tv- us playing games, talking, enjoying each others company.  I think we are going to claim Saturday's as family fun day:)
We did play games one Saturday- no tv and no gaming systems.  Everyone had a blast.  We need to make it more of a habit to do this on a regular habit:)

10) Not to use our dryer to save on electricity and lower our electricity bill
Doing great with this and haven't not used the dryer.  I am loving this weather.  I hang the clothes up on clothes racks and next day they are dry:)

11) To do 1 project a month and blog about it
January's project of the month was freezer cooking.  I researched, found a menu plan, went shopping and hubby and I tackled the job.  So far so good.  When I can remember to get the food in the crockpot- LOL:)

What goals do you have for 2014? I would love to hear them:)

Lowes Build & Grow Clinic~ 02/08/2014

Lowes will be hosting a Build & Grow Clinic on February 8th at 10am. It has been a while.  We are excited that Lowe's decided to bring these back. My younger boys love doing them and the older ones love helping the younger ones with their project:)

If you are looking for a great free activity that you can do with your kids- you should check out the Lowes Build & Grow Clinics. Little Michael and Nathan love them. They love being able to do hands on projects with our help.

This Saturday, Lowes Build and Grow Clinic will be building a Love Note Holder~ perfect for Valentines Day for Mom:)
To sign up for this Build & Grow Clinic, simply go to the Lowes Build & Grow Clinic website, which they have redone to make it more user friendly. I am loving this new website. You register all your information. Then when you visit the website to sign up for an upcoming clinic, all you have to do is sign in and check which kids you are signing up. Don't forget to print and sign the waiver. And you and your child(ren) are ready for a really cool FREE hands on project.

Once you and your child(ren) complete the project they will receive a neat patch to put on their Lowes Build & Grow apron. If this is your first clinic, your child(ren) will receive a free Lowes Build & Grow apron and goggles:) The more clinics you do, the more patches you get to put on your kids apron and they can show them off with pride:)
