Shrek The Musical Review #sponsored


When I heard that Shrek was going to be turned into a musical I was elated. I love anything that involves a live performance and a classic movie like Shrek is a great way to keep the story alive. Here is a bit about Shrek The Musical:

Shrek The Musical tells the story of a swamp-dwelling ogre who goes on a life-changing adventure to reclaim the deed to his land. Joined by a wise-cracking donkey, this unlikely hero fights a fearsome dragon, rescues a feisty princess and learns that real friendship and true love aren’t only found in fairy tales.The musical is based on the story and characters from William Steig's book Shrek!, as well as the DreamWorks Animation film and features a book and lyrics by Pulitzer Prize® winner, David Lindsay-Abaire, music by Olivier Award-winner Jeanine Tesori, and is directed by Tony Award® nominee Jason Moore. Shrek The Musical is produced by DreamWorks Theatricals and Neal Street Productions, Ltd.

DIY Activity Dice for Kids!


As the days get darker and rainier here in Washington we tend to spend more time inside the house, and the feelings of being cooped up start to set in. I am always on the hunt for frugal and DIY ways to keep ourselves active and entertained, these Activity Dice we made are a fantastic way to get them moving!



Very few supplies are needed. 1-2 "square like" boxes, wrapping paper of some kind, several colors of construction paper, a marker, scissors and tape.

Western Chief Rain Gear for Halloween Fun and Giveaway #sponsored




My son has been talking non stop about Superman for the last few months. When he saw the Western Chief Superman Boots and Raincoat at Nordstrom he said he NEEDS it. It is funny and sad to see him be into super heroes. He no longer wants Thomas the Train stuff like he did last year, he says he is a kid not a baby. So my kid wants super hero everything, it is cute just makes me realize he is growing up and getting his own opinion on what he wears lol.

Pumpkin Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

 

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are one of my favorites, so warm and so good. Naturally when fall comes around and the fact that adding pumpkin to everything seems appropriate, of coarse these babies were going to be made. Pure pumpkin perfection. A simple recipe, but so good.

Walmart Family Mobile Unlimited Plans 6 Months of Saving Means More Fun #shop




Being the person in my home that earns the income for all of us I have learned to take saving money much more seriously. I now realize that every dollar adds up. When it is something like a monthly bill the savings over a year can be amazing if you can find a lower price. We are now in the sixth month of having our Cheap Wireless Plan from the Walmart Family Mobile.


We have been able to save the money we are not spending on a more expensive plan to do fun activities. For our wedding anniversary we were able to afford to a night filled with fun for our whole family. Normally we find reasons that we cannot afford a night out but when you are saving money in one area it feels great to be able to splurge a little for a special occasion.

DIAMOND CANDLES Review and Giveaway #sponsored



There is just something so calming and relaxing about burning a candle, I can't help but like them. I also like diamonds and rings, like most women, both are always on my gift list. Like them so much you wish they would come together? Well now you can get them all in one, that is exactly what they do at Diamond Candles .

My first thought was this was an interesting idea, never would have thought to put the two together, literally. But that is exactly what they do, each Diamond Candle has a ring in it valued at either $10, $100, $1000 or $5000! As soon as my candle came in the mail I couldn't wait to start burning it, and see exactly what ring would be mine. I will admit, the anticipation was so much fun I almost didn't want it to end! I was pretty patient though, only having to dig a tiny bit to get my ring out. Being patient is hard sometimes ;)
