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...

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...

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 fili...

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 ...

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 ...

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...

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 o...

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 ...

I bought this during my third pregnancy because my friend swore by it's comfort and ability to alleve back pain.  I purchased it at Target for around $25.I purchased the white Maternity Belly Bra, but there is also a nude color and black color available.  There are four different sizes ranging from small to XXlarge, depending on your bust size.I honestly thought this would be an a...

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 d...

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 the...

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&nb...

I love my two Nalgene bottles so much that I decided to buy my mother this "Life Is Good" Nalgene water bottle.  She loves the "Life Is Good" clothing and various products, so this gift was perfect for her.This water bottle, like the original Nalgene water bottles, holds 32 ounces of water and has the measure graduations on the side of the bottle.  It is made out o...

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.&nbs...

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 n...

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...

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 ...

We bought these sunglasses for our oldest sun almost 3 years ago when we were going on a trip to Florida. I picked them up at Walmart for only about $5, with the thought that they were going to be cheap and would get ruined. Boy was I wrong! These sunglasses have really stood the test of time with my kids. My oldest son's head is now too big for them, but my daughter now enjoys wearing...

I bought the Laser Level by Fixit Tools for my hubby about 2 Christmases ago. I thought that he would absolutely just fall in love with it. It is a small tool designed with a laser that helps you hang pictures, cabinets, or shelves evenly. The laser light beam can project horizontally or vertically and even in coreners. This particular Laser Level has an 8 foot measuring tape that can lock ...

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 bab...
