When it was time to get school clothes for my kids this year, I thought we would travel to Birch Run Michigan and check out the Prime Outlets for some good deals. The discount outlet stores at Birch Run offered me and my family a huge variety of savings on our school clothes. We love American Eagle Outfitters and Aeropostale so we headed in their outlet stores ...

I have one- and two-year old children.  Needless to say, babyproofing is critical in our home.  One of the safety precautions we have taken is to purchase outlet covers for all of our unused outlets.  These little plastic pieces fit perfectly into any outlet, covering all three holes and prohibiting little fingers from entering.  Because they are plastic, there is no danger...

We never seem to have enough electric outlet's available when it's time to decorate the outside of the house for Christmas.  A couple of years ago we found the Yellow Jacket 5-outlet outdoor adapter that gives us an extra five outlets off one extension cord.  This also helps us operate a number of decorations using only one timer to turn the lights off and on.  We also us...

If you have kids, then you know how important it is to keep your e;ectrical light plugs blocked at all times when your not using them just in case they decide to put their fingers in them. Not having kids of my own and ultimatly not really knowing how important that rule was, I found out the hard way when my 14 month old neice was visiting and accidently got zapped. She was ok, just a...

We own a few of these Surge protector Towers and I have to say they are exceptional!  For under $20 they are well worth the money for the protection level they provide not only our computers but also our fax, phone and high speed modem. The tower provides a total of 10 outlet plug-ins, enough for me to plug in my laptop, two external hard drives, our fax machine, phone, a lamp and more.&nb...

Living in the Midwest means you inevitably make at least one visit to the Wisconsin Dells, the "waterpark capitol of the world".  Growing up, we would spend several days there each summer; always in a standard hotel room, visiting various waterparks, mini-golf centers, and other attractions.Times have changed, as the Dells now features a number of resorts with both indoor and out...

While shopping at the Cape Cod Factory Outlet I came across this beautiful stepping stone that I just had to buy! Although I wasn’t sure exactly how I was going to use it, it just really fit into what I was trying to do with my home… and although I would have liked to pick up several of them I was trying to stay on a decorating budget, so I bought one.The stepping stone is made of ...

Finally!!!!  I really hate to go shopping for pants because I'm a woman with hips and thighs to match!  Love my curves, but absolutely HATE trying on jean after jean after jean!  Ladies, you know what I mean! GRRR!  I accidentally stumbled upon these jeans while in a desperate search at Burlington Coat Factory Outlet! (Yep!  I had forgotten they carry clothing,...

My daughter asked me to buy her these Tinkerbell toed socks when we were down at Disney because she needed a crazy pair of socks for crazy sock day coming up at school. They were only supposed to be worn that one time but she loves them so much, she wears them all the time at night when it's cold.They are a knit calf high sock with wild colored stripes. They are really soft and have ju...

I love boots so when I saw these boots at the ALDO Outlet, I just had to have them! It didn't hurt that they were on sale, marked down from $150 to $59.99 either. They had one left, and it was in my size. These boots are made of soft black leather and has a bit of shine to it (but NOT like patent leather). The toe of the boots is the rounded toe style that was popular last fall. The heel of...
