Since I heard about E.L.F. cosmetics from my sister-in-law during Easter, I decided to give it a try. When I found out Big Lots carried the make-up, I was really happy. First of all they are pretty cheap. Costs means a lot to a SAHM like myself. Second of all, they have a pretty good reputation of being great make-up. I need to have make-up that will last through out the day. Lastly, the colors are awesome. My favorite colors are neutrals … [Read more...]
Last Day

Earth day was celebrated just a few days ago. So by helping the environment, I made a vow to change all of the (regular) incandescent light bulbs in my house for Energy Smart bulbs. If you have a Stop and Shop nearby, today is the last day to buy GE Energy Smart bulbs. When you use your Stop and Shop card, you get 2 Energy Smart light bulbs for free when you buy one for $4.99. That's like $1.66 for each bulb. Did you know that Energy Smart bulbs use 75% less energy than incandescent … [Read more...]

I have 3 kids--an 11 year old son, a 9 year old daughter and a 3 year old daughter. By the time the first two turned three, they were potty trained. Even though I started at age 2 for the first two, they weren't ready (I didn't know; I thought all 2 year olds were "supposed" to be potty trained at 2). I'm very nonchalant with my third when it comes to alot of things. I guess it's because she is the baby of the house, she's my last baby (I got my tubes tied … [Read more...]

Do you know the price of crude oil is at $117.48 per barrel right now? This time last year the price was at around $65.oo per barrel. The gas prices are getting so ridiculous in the U.S., it's disgusting. I live in the Hudson Valley in NYS and the cheapest so far is:$3.55 a gallon. That is just crazy! Some places around my area are already $3.65 a gallon. $4.00 a gallon is just around the corner. I guess I'll be staying home more often because at … [Read more...]

Last night, I was flipping through channels and I saw one of my favorite shows when I was a kid on BET. It was Different Strokes.. Oh, how I loved that show back in the days. I had a small crush on Willis too, lol. I think I saw each episode at least 3 times. That is how much I used to love watching it. I loved the song, the Dad and of course the HUGE apartment. Sometimes I would wish I could live in the same apartment. Ahh, the good ol' days.. … [Read more...]
