This Frugal Family

Soft Soap has been my go to brand, for years.  I love the way it leaves my hands feel.  They can be filthy, but one, or two, squirts of Soft Soap, and some water, and they are nice a clean.  And, don’t forget soft. Soft Soap is the only brand I buy.  They price isn’t a factor to me, as long as the product works.  However, Soft Soap is inexpensive, so it’s really no bother.  We are a work pay check, to pay check family, so every penny counts.  Yet, I am able to buy my Soft Soap, because of the price.  Not only does Soft Soap clean your hands, but leaves you with the smell of a great fragrance. Soothe your spirit while cleansing your hands. The relaxing scent of lavender, fresh from the field, entwines with tender chamomile flowers to bring a moment of calm to stressful days and helps leave skin feeling soft. The Lavender & Chamomile is my go to choice.  I love both scents, and together they are magnificent. Don’t get me wrong, there are other great scents , as well, you just have to find your favorite, too. New Scents are:  Coconut & Blueberry,…

I love Dazi.  I received a tie from them, just last week, and I can’t get enough of my husband wearing it.  He’s never worn a tie in the entire 14 years we’ve been together, so this is special.  He wears a white shirt, with blue jeans, then puts on this tie, and I’m in heaven.  It takes my breath away! The Dazi Shadow is wonderful, but there really are so many to choose from.  This tie just makes me crazy.  It’s so soft, and if I could get away with wearing it, I would. Features: 2.5″ wide at the tip Approx. 58″ in length Cotton/Linen Blend Dazi also has socks, bow ties, and wedding products.  You really need to take a look at Dazi!  I’m sure you will find something, your style.  I’m a plain jane kinda gal, so when we received this black tie, it was like heaven to me.  However, if you are into wild, they also have the right style for you. The bow tie, above, is called First Date.  I love it, but I am, again, a plain jane kinda girl.  But, any man would look good in this tie as well. I just checked…

I recently was able to try Sacred, and it really works.  I used the lotion on my back, because I have daily back pain, and it really eased the pain.  I’ll tell you that I was skeptical, but now I know that it really works.  My 20 year old, daughter, loves it, as well.  She fell on her back when she was just 14, and now with the help of Sacred, she’s able to move around like a normal 20 year old. Relieves aches and pains Treats various skin conditions Restores motion form stiffness I have tendonitis in my left shoulder, and Sacred really helped to ease the pain.  If I can get out of those cortisone shots, I’d be so happy.  So far, so good! When I first put it on I got this really warm sensation, but that’s just letting me know it’s doing it’s job.  Then, the pain relief started.  I really couldn’t be more ecstatic about a product, for pain. I also tried the Sacred Pain Relief Balm.  It’s just as great!  The all natural Hemp Oil Balm worked wonders for my headaches.  I rubbed it on my temples one day, and within 10 minutes, my…

Wonder was an incredibly inspiring film.  My 20 year old cried, and my 6 year old really watched with care.  Sarah, my 20 year old, is going to College to become a teacher.  So this was a good film for her to watch.  She said it inspired her to be the best that she could be.  My 6 year old says “I’ll never bully anyone, Mommy.”  He saw how hurt Auggie was, and said he doesn’t want to do that to anyone.   The incredibly moving and heartfelt family film, Wonder, is a great film for you to sit down with your family and watch tonight. Julia Roberts, & Owen Wilson, play great parents in this film.  They are consoling, and inspirational. Wonder follows the inspiring story of the Pullman family, whose youngest child, Auggie, is a boy born with facial differences.  When Auggie enters  elementary school for the first time, his extraordinary journey unites his family, his school, and his community, and proves that you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out. You can purchase Wonder, starting February 13, and you will really enjoy it, even with an added tear, or two. Below are some activities…

I’m a very unorganized person, and Way Basics recently changed that.  I love Way Basics products, and own quite a few.  All of my son’s books are in one of their Webster 2-case Bookcases.  It’s so adorable, and is very functional.  Jacob loves that he can get to all of his books, without a problem.  The style is amazing, as well.   This time, I received the Espresso Rectangle Storage Cube.  I really needed something functional, that would be able to hang in my bedroom, with a tart burner, and a few pictures on it.  This really took care of my problem.  It fits perfectly, and there was the right amount of room for it.  I love it!  I couldn’t be more happy with this choice.  It matches my bedroom suite, as well. there is so much to see, with great prices listed, over at Way Basics.  As seen, in the picture, the products at Way Basics are Eco Made From Non-Toxic ZBoard, and have a lifetime Guarantee.  They are also Non-toxic, and Simple to Assemble.  Usually my husband does everything around here, but I was able to build it while he was at work.  Their STORY Way Basics started…
