A Quick Update



It has been a long time since I gave an update on this blog. Just last week, I decided I needed to get back to my frugal blogging. It has been well over a year since I gave up my paid domain, and I have missed it. I am now working full time and pursuing my Bachelor’s degree online at Ashford University in Health and Human Services. I have 12 more credits to go – YAHOO!! It had been a very quick transformation for my family and me from not working a full-time job for well over 18 years to now mom working full time and being a full-time college student. My family has grown older and more independent, I am so proud of the young men my boys are. My Hubby is now working in the career field that he went to college for over 25 years ago. So we have been through significant changes but are closer than ever as a family. 



I wanted to give a quick update and a few photos of the first snowfall and what the trail camera caught on film. This is the first time we saw this animal in our yard!!

Yes, that is a MOOSE! We have seen them about 10 miles from our house but never ever in our own yard. We are so stinking thrilled by this! This is why we live where we do. God's Country, where God's creatures can move about freely. 

I am planning to work on a menu for the upcoming week, which is something that I have not done in months. 
Comment below if you are still following me. I would love to see who is still out there.

A Product Review and my first GIVEAWAY!!

Image
Today I received a full size bottle of Purex Complete with Zout Triple Enzyme Stain Remover. The scent is Fresh Morning Burst. I am a scent orientated person, so the first thing I did was to open the bottle and smelled it. It smells so fresh and clean, I could not wait to give it a try. Four loads of laundry later, I can say that I truly love this product!! As a busy mother of two busy boys, I often miss stains on clothes before they are put into the drier and set for life. Then another piece of clothing heads for the rag bag. I love that the pretreatment is included in the product, no extra step. It works for HE and front loading machines. AND now for the giveaway, I will have two winners for coupons for a free product. Please leave me a comment about why you want to try the product. The giveaway will end on March 31 at 8:00PM EST and I will announce the winners.

Konsyl review and Giveaway

Image
We’ve all heard about the digestive and other health benefits of having enough fiber, but in addition to helping promote regularity and good digestive health  adequate soluble fiber intake offers an abundance of health benefits, ranging from a reduced risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol, to reducing blood sugar absorption, thereby assisting in the management of Type-2 Diabetes. Fiber can also aid in weight loss by making you feel fuller longer. Psyllium fiber, such as the fiber found in Konsyl Fiber Supplements, is a bulk-forming soluble fiber derived from the outer coating, or "husk" of the psyllium plant's seeds. Because psyllium does not come from wheat it is therefore gluten free and safe for celiac patients. Konsyl products are also safe for pregnant and nursing women. Just one serving of Konsyl Original Formula 450g provides 6 grams of psyllium fiber (equal to 3 grams of soluble fiber), 75% more than the leading brands.
