About Me: Hello there! My name is Sarah and I am the mother to 4 wonderful children. They are my reason for being and I love with with all of my soul. I am recently engaged to a wonderful man who just adores me and my four children. I love to spend time with my family. My hobbies include scrapbooking, sewing, photography, and woodworking. We love taking DISNEY TRIPS and I am hoping to make a little extra money for our next trip!! =)
Even before I got pregnant this time around, I was taking a prenatal vitamin, per the advice of my doctor. I recently ran out of the normal prenatal vitamins I was taking so I picked up a large bottle of the Walgreens Prenatal Vitamins.The bottle I purchased has 240 vitamins in it and I only paid $17.99 for it. That was a great deal when I was comparing prices. The Walgreens Prenatal Vitamin had the same ingredients as a more expensive brand and actually had almost double the amount of vitamins.This prenata...
When we were planning a road trip, we asked our friends if we could borrow their storage rack for the top of the car. We wanted to try it out before buying one of our own. They have the X-Cargo X-Treme Car Top Carrier, which they purchased at Sears for I think around $250. This particular model holds 100 pounds of gear. You can put camping equipment, luggage, strollers, etc. in this very handy necessity. We have a Toyota 4Runner SUV and found that this carrier fit quite nicely on top. It comes completely assembled, so no need to ...
I basically live at work for 40-45 hours per week. This includes sitting in a cubicle where I am surrounded by office supplies. The one I use the most is my telephone of course! They provide me with a Panasonic Advanced ITS corded phone. (for whatever reason, they refuse to get us cordless phones!) This phone is corded which is an inconvenience at times because sometimes I have to go to my filing cabinets, which are beyond what the phone can reach. Some nice features about this phone are that it has a pause button, redial button, flash butto...
Before my hubby and I were married or even engaged for that matter, we would go into jewelry stores and just "window shop". We stepped into Belden Jewelers one day and I saw just the most beautiful diamond I had ever seen. The clarity was wonderful, the cut was wonderful, and the size was just perfect for my tiny fingers. The problem was the setting that it was put in. It really just did not go with the diamond all that well. I picked out a cathedral setting that the diamond would just look fantastic in.
Even though my hair is not that dark, ever since I got pregnant with my first son, I seem to have dark upper lip hair. I find it gross and very unattractive so every 3-4 weeks, I have to find a way to remove the hair. I used to get it waxed and I love the waxing method, but I find it hard to find the time to make an appointment, not to mention that it gets expensive. I finally bought a tube of Sally Hansen Hair Removal cream at Walmart. It is reasonably priced and the tube has lasted me for so long. In the package also came a small bottle of...
This pink and white Victorian Bench Toy box was given to us by friends, as their daughter had outgrown it. We put it in my daughter's room and just can't believe how practical it is. It is a bench to sit on, but the top comes off and underneath is a storage area. You can put toys in there, but sometimes we will put clothes in there for the next season. On top of the bench, we put my daughter's many stuffed animals. This toy box is very durable, as most Little Tykes toys are. There is also a rocking chair that matches this to...
My friend recently separated from her husband. Part of the deal was that she could take half of the possessions and her soon to be ex-hubby would keep the house and the things that belonged to him. My friend wanted to take her Arctic Cat ATV; however, she was moving into an apartment temporarily and could not store it there. Of course, being the great friend that I am, I offered to store it at our house. My friend took me up on the offer and said that we could use it while it was at our home.This Arct...
I normally buy the Equate brand of Multi-Purpose Solution to store my contact lenses in at night. I found the Kirkland brand solution at a local discount store for only $1.99, so I picked it up. You can use this solution with any soft contact lens. This solution cleans, rinses, disinfects and removes protein from your contact lenses. All I do is rinse each contact lens with the solution and then store them in their case with the solution over night. When I get them in the morning, I rinse each lens again with solution and I am good to g...
I simply adore snowmen and display some of my snowmen all year round. Knowing that I love snowmen, my mom started buying me the Flurryville Friends collection. They are snowmen figurines doing various activities and the different figurines have meaning to them.These snowmen figurines are put out by The BonTon Stores and I believe that they are pretty affordable. They have the appearance of being hand carved, but I think that they are made out of a resin material.These snowmen figurines are not big in size, proba...
Two years ago, my husband called me at work totally panicked. He said that our daughter had been burned by her hot car seat on the top of her thigh. My heart was racing as I drove to meet him at the doctor's office. When I arrived at the dr.'s office, I saw my daughter's leg and began to cry. Her burn was just this huge, awful looking burn that was a little bigger than a silver dollar. So many thoughts ran through my head, but I worried a lot about the scar that would be left. Both my husband and my daughter have dark skin a...
At one point, I was just really unhappy with the health of my skin, hair, and finger nails. I have hypothyroidism, so it's no big surprise that all of these parts of my body tend to be dry. I decided to try fish oils since I have heard so many great things about taking them. I went to my local General Nutrician Center (GNC) and decided on the Salmon Oil 1000 softgel capsules. I bought the bottle that has 180 softgel capsules. The great thing is that you only have to take one per day to get the full benefits! ...
I am always looking to expand my perfume collection without paying out a ton of money. So you can just imagine my happiness when I found Amerigirl perfume. It smells just like Tommy Girl, except you don't have to take a second mortgage out on your home to buy it! I bought a big 3.3 ounce bottle of Amerigirl perfume for only $5. I have had this bottle for approximately 6 months. Granted, I do not use this scent everyday, but even if I did, this bottle would last for months and months. The scent is initially strong, but does tone down afte...

"Love BOD Really Ripped Abs body spray!"
I love my husband smelling yummy when I am around him. At Target, I found a set of the BOD fragrance body sprays. The packaging had a cartoon guy with really ripped stomach muscles. I sort of bought it for my husband as a joke gift because we both know that his abs, well, aren't so ripped at this point. I didn't expect that body sprays that came in this set to be great. I usually buy him nice colognes that cost quite a bit more money. I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised when he sprayed on the BOD Really Ripped Abs bo...
My friend just had a baby not too long ago and received a very luxurious Lascal's M1 baby carrier. Honestly, I had never heard of this carrier, but she registered for it for her baby shower. This is a very pricey baby carrier-over $100 for this thing! She urged me to try it out with her baby in it. So, I strapped it on and found it to be extremely comfortable. It is strappy, as are most baby carriers. There is great back support in this carrier, for both parent and baby! The neck support for baby is incredible-much better than the Snugli...
Because I work in an office, I need to have the clothes I wear looking nice and ironed. I just love my Quick N Easy 365 iron made by Black & Decker. It has seven settings for various cloths--numbers 1-3 are a dry heat and are ideal for cloths like Nylon, Silk, and Polyester. Numbers 4-7 are a steam heat and work best on Wool, cotton blends, Cotton, and Linen. It has a clear view of where you put the water in so you can see how much water is in there. I love that it has a "Spray" button in case I have a blouse that is...
Each of my children received these cute nap mat, pillow, blanket combination sets for Christmas. They come in different animals, so there is a variety. These are a very practical item for children. The mat, which is made of foam and covered by a soft material, unfolds and the warm fleece blanket is actually attached to the mat so it can't be lost. There is also a pillow that velcroes to the mat so again, it can't really get lost. The mat is 47 inches long and almost 20 inches wide. The only downfall to this set is that the blanket is...

"The Splash pool...so nice!"
My mom is one of those "impulse buyers" so in the dead middle of summer, she goes out and buys a SPLASH pool, which is an above ground pool, for herself. Okay, fast forward to the day she says to me "I'm going to give you the pool since we don't really use it around here or have time to care for it." Of course I took it! I knew that with 3 kids, we would get years and years of use from it. My husband set it up by himself, but I must say that it can be a little difficult to set up. It has metal rods...
We seem to go through so much paper in our printer! I buy the Georgia Pacific copy paper at Walmart. I get the pack of 500 sheets of 8.5" by 11" paper. I also tend to get the "Soft White" color that has a brightness of 88. There is whiter paper made by this same company, but it is more expensive, and this paper is good enough for what we need it for. This paper has a nice finish to it, not too grainy. Great to use for letters or memos and can be used in a fax machine as well. The company has a 100% satisfactio...
My four year old daughter has special needs and attends physical therapy every week at a nearby agency. Immediately upon walking into this place, you think it is such a fun filled place because of all the neat toys and gadgets they have.One particular gadget that caught not only my eye, but also my daughter's eye, was this AlleyOop Sports Rebounder. Essentially, it is a trampoline but it is a decked out trampoline!This trampoline has a bar that the child or adult can hold onto for better balance. ...
I received Victoria's Secret "Secret Crush" body spray as a gift one year. It sat on my shelf amongst my many other body sprays. I finally decided to try it and my initial thought was "Hmmm, this stuff kind of smells like a type of wine." I made my friend smell it and she agreed. I really didn't like smelling like a glass of wine, especially at work. But, I have to say, that after a little while, the strong smell goes away and you are left with a pleasant odor. This smell does last for quite some...
