This Frugal Family

We love Package From Santa.  This is the second year that we’ve used them.  My 7 year old, Jacob, really loves receiving this kit, all the way from the North Pole.  Santa is alive and well, when you receive this kit. We received a Nice List Letter, a Christmas Countdown Calendar, a Santa’s flight plan, etc.  Jacob went nuts when he received this package. There’s even a nicer package, that comes with a whole lot more, including reindeer food, hot cocoa, a candy cane, and more.  You just have to pick the kit that fits your needs. We even get a phone call from Santa, along with a video, showing Jacob on the nice list.  This really is a fabulous kit. If you order through US Family Guide, you will receive a 25% discount on your purchase.  This really makes it a great deal.  It’s a great deal without the 25% discount, because my child still believes, and that’s what really matters. When Jacob got Santa’s Flight Plan, he went crazy.  Your family will love it too.  It was such a treat to see that little face light up.  And, I’m sure he went to school, and told all of his friends…

My 7 year old, Jacob, loved his Just Add Color kit, we received.  He had a blast with his 21 year old, sister, and her boyfriend, along with a few of his cousins.  It was so much fun watching them play.  We haven’t had a party like this in a while.  Though it wasn’t Jacob’s birthday, we had a blast.  With his cousin’s birthday being in December, this was a whole lot of fun for all the kids. Just Add Color is a premium kit, with lots of color fun, and through US Family Guide, you can get the kit for such an excellent price.   You can get 3 bags of color, 3 bottles, to put the colors in, and more.  Check it out on their website.  This is one fun time. Being from Pennsylvania, it was a little hard to find the right day to get out and have fun.  We did get a sort of warm, but cool, day, with no rain.  So, we took advantage of it.  You can use Just Add Color in so many places.  Jacob painted himself, and Sarah made a picture on the porch, which the snow later dissolved. This was such a fun…

We love Dead Soxy, in our home.  The socks are magnificent, and long lasting.  I’ve washed them at least a dozen times, and they are still form fitting.  They last and last.  I can’t get over how well they are maintained. My 7 year old now won’t wear anything but Dead Soxy.  He loves his no shows, can’t stand socks that go up to his knees.  Good thing that Dead Soxy can handle his feet.  With school starting back up, these are the perfect socks for Gym Class, or everyday class. My daughter is in her 3rd year of college, and she loves Dead Soxy, as well.  She just snatched my last two pairs up yesterday.  She says they are so comfortable, and wash up well. Wanna hear something great?  If you live in the USA, you can get FREE SHIPPING on your socks.  And, the no shows are 3 for $35.  That’s an amazing price.  We buy them all the time, because even the local store doesn’t have that great of a deal. Some Fun Facts about Dead Soxy: They are no slip:  You will not fall when you are wearing them. They are no Shrink:  Seriously though, they…

I have already watched Star Wars Rebels Season 4.  And, all of the bonus footage.  Digital download is available now, Blu Ray will be available next Tuesday!

Bug Lab For Kids is a great collection of loads of fun activities for kids.  My son, age 7, loves this book.  He is so taken by it.  He loves to work on the labs, together.  You can collect and interact with bugs the right way, with this book. The Bug Lab For Kids has taught the two of us so much.  From how to catch bugs, to how to pin them.  It’s a family-friendly activity book, and gives us something to do together.  He’s so into the electronics, so when I get home from work, I take him outside, and we work on catching some bugs.  He always takes the book with him.  Hopefully he will remember these activities when he gets older, so he an do them with his kids. Prepare to cozy up with spiders, centipedes, butterflies, and bees, to name just a few! In Bug Lab for Kids, Mississippi State University associate professor, extension entomologist (bug expert), and educator John W. Guyton shares his knowledge and excitement about all things beautiful, creepy, and crawly. Every chapter is bursting with photos, illustrations, fascinating facts and fun activities–including experiments, hunt-and-catch and citizen science assignments, and arts and crafts…

The Amazing World Bugs Book is fantastic.  My wife hates bugs, but I found it intriguing to look at with my 7 year old, son.  My son really got into it, and there’s even 13 glow in the dark bugs that came with the book.  It’s a really great book, to introduce the little ones to a whole other world out there.  My wife never goes outside, unless it’s to head straight to the car, but my son, he loves being outside with me.  So, the Amazing World Bugs is a great book for him.  He even takes it outside, and if he sees a bug from the book, will turn to that page, and go show his mother what he just saw.  In all honesty, only a couple of the bugs are found, where we are.  But, he sure makes it sound good when he runs and tells mom what he saw. The Amazing World series transports kids to extraordinary places from the bottom of the deepest ocean to faraway galaxies. The third title in the series, Amazing World: Bugs explores the incredible world of 20 strange and magnificent insects, from shimmering glow worms and fireflies, to the extremely…

I love Thirty-One.  Their bags are perfect.  We are going on an overnight stay, and the In The Clear Tote is the perfect size for mine and my spouse’s clothes.  It’s so big, and spacious.  I could probably even fit my 7 year old’s clothes in it.  There’s even a hidden pocket, in the tote, to keep my pills in.  This is great!This bag, is by far, the best bag I’ve received.  I love Thirty-One, and can’t stress that enough.  In The Clear Tote is going to be the bag of the week.  When I take it with me, to the waterpark, everyone will envy it.  I’ll love telling them where to get their bag at. I also received The Getaway Tote.  My sister is flying to Myrtle Beach, and this is her bag, for the plane.  It’s the perfect size, to get on flight, and she will be able to put all the necessities in it.  I love this bag, as well.  However, she asked me to use it, so how could I say no?  The size is 14.75″H x 13.75″L x 6″D, which will be great to put her phone, ipad, etc. in. I also received the Pinch Top…

My little one, Jacob, age 6, loves the Sleep Zzz Pillow. He says he’s comfy all night, and doesn’t wake up until morning. It’s made him sleep through the night, when he couldn’t before.
