Scarves in the Summer? Yes You Can! + Giveaway

17 June 2013 Scarves in the Summer? Yes You Can! + Giveaway

Guest post by Erinn Linkous

Now some of you might be wondering why in the world I’m doing a review on scarves during the middle of June and right as we begin summer. Well, it’s simple: scarves can be worn any time of year. A part of my heart breaks every time I see someone pack away all their scarves for spring and summer not realizing the benefits they could have form wearing them year round.

Now, I am NOT saying here to keep out the big, huge fuzzy Antarctica scarves. Pack those puppies away. What I am saying is all the other ones can stay out. Do not send them away.Continue reading

Several months ago, right after Andy was born, my friend Tia from Sweet T Photography told me about Pick Your Plum (Big Brother is watching, so I have to tell you that’s an affiliate link)…and I was hooked from the beginning. It’s become my FAVORITE Daily Deal site and I am eager to get my email from them each day.

Using Daily Deal Websites

10 June 2013 Using Daily Deal Websites

Barry and I use daily deal websites A LOT. That might even be an understatement. We use them, wait for it…daily. Barry checks certain sites and I check others – that way we can cover all our bases. Some of them are sent via email and some of them we check directly by going to the website.

This habit has saved us a lot of time AND CASH. Why you ask? Because we are able to buy gifts and things for our home this way. Sometimes we might find things up to ½ off or MORE just by keeping our eyes peeled.Continue reading

Easy and Cheap Methods of Detox

23 May 2013 Easy and Cheap Methods of Detox

About a year ago, if you had asked me about “detoxing” I would have looked at you like you’d grown a third head. Why on earth would I need to detox? I’m the Queen of Purity. I’m sober. I don’t smoke weed. Detoxing is for weirdos. I am NOT a weirdo. Okay – so wait…I am a weirdo. Scratch that.

Let me set the stage here for you – it’s birthday month in your family. About 6-10 family members all have birthdays close together. There are parties. There is cake. There is pizza. And you eat it all because after all, it IS a special occasion. I’m not sure when “special occasion” becomes not so special…but, anyway. I eat it too. I get it.

Change Your Life: Become a Trim Healthy Mama

14 May 2013 Change Your Life: Become a Trim Healthy Mama
WARNING: This post is very long  - the longest one I’ve ever written…but that’s because this is a subject I have become very passionate about and I want to share it and my heart with you – I want it to change your life like it’s changed mine…and I want to make sure I don’t miss anything important. 

Over two years ago, our family changed our eating habits – we moved away from the “coupon lifestyle” we had been living and teaching. It was a hard switch for us – and for most of my readers…but you’ve stuck with me.

Over the past two years, I’ve searched high and low trying to find what I thought was “right” for us. I knew eating so many convenience foods wasn’t good for our health – so we happily cut those out and moved to a “whole foods lifestyle.” And I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but there are OODLES of roads you can take eating that way: you can be hard-core Weston A. Price Foundation; you can be hard core Bread Beckers; you can go 100% organic; you can ditch gluten; you can go Paleo or Primal…or you can just lose your mind, scream, and want to pull all your hair out – and honestly, a few times I fell into the last category.Continue reading
