This Frugal Family

I love my Star Poster, that I received last week.  It’s so amazing, and it tells a story!  It’s our story, the day we met, and things changed.  Then came the little one, several years later. Custom Star Map is amazing!  By far, my favorite product I’ve received this year.  You can get them with any saying on them.  I got “the story of us”, I am going to get “Our Miracle”, because Jacob, my 7 year old, is truly a miracle, that came after 2 loses. Custom Star Map can be the day you met, the day you wed, the day baby was born, etc.  You put the sky to the limit. Guys, want to impress your girl?  Get her this poster made, with the date you got together.  She will be surprised you remembered.  Ours was easy, it was the weekend of Memorial day, and it was a Saturday.  All we had to do was look back to 2004, and see what that Saturday was.  Can you remember when you met your special someone? You can pick different styles, you don’t have to get it, just like the one above.  There’s different fonts, there’s different colors to make…

Good Cook has some great Summer Fun fruit items for us all.  We love the items from Profreshionals.  These items are grand, and make having a cookout, so much fun.  I love the melon slicer.  I’ve never been able to cut a melon, always afraid of cutting myself.  No more of that.  Now with this, easy to use Jumbo Fruit Slicer, I get it right every time, and no cuts. Specialty wedger for large fruit instantly cuts watermelons, pineapples and cantaloupes into perfect slices with one quick press. Sharp, serrated stainless steel blades make cutting easy and safe. Soft grip, non-slip handles make it easy to control with better leverage. Ideal for parties when you need lots of slices. I also love the Pineapple slicer/corer.  This thing is so neat.  It slices the pineapple and cores it, while you twist.  My husband does all the hard work, of pushing and twisting, but I know I could do it, if I tried.  Now you can have fresh cut Pineapple anytime.  Don’t buy the canned stuff anymore. Our Pineapple Slicer Cores, peels and slices pineapples quickly. Perfect rings every time.  And, it’s dishwasher safe. My favorite item, however, is one that is…

Readers.com is my favorite place to get glasses.   I do go to the eye doctor, once a year, to see if my eyes have gotten any worse, however, I only shop with Readers.com.  They have such nice glasses, at an inexpensive price.  The frames are sturdy, and strong.  The glasses are thick enough to see, but not too thick. The Vinton Sun Reader was my first choice.  They are sunglasses, with the reading power in them.  They are so stylish.  I love being able to drive, and see my Garmin at the same time.  I don’t have to worry about being left in the dark either.  They are the perfect darkness, but not too dark.  And, I can see the Garmin without a problem. My mom liked these glasses so much, she wanted to take them, but I kept them for me.  And, remember, you can get them in the strength you need. These colorfully frosted retro square shades offer fully magnified tinted lenses with UV protection, spring hinge temples, and a trendy keyhole bridge. The San Antonio Sun Reader is a great choice for anyone, as well.  I put these in my truck, so I can see when my…

I love Easy Baby Travelers.  It makes so much sense, what this inventor did.  Take all the steps and put them in separate bags, all neatly marked.  I love this concept.  I know where everything is, when I need it now.  And, I stick it all in a bigger bag, so it’s neatly organized. I love this concept.  Helps me out tremendously when trying to get the kids’ stuff put together.  Dress me, change me, and feed me, all put in a bigger bag, is perfect for a beach day, or any day.

I love the new Boppy Comfy Fit Baby Carrier.  It’s the perfect baby gift for anyone having a baby, and they will get lots of use out of it.  It’s so soft, and yet, durable.  I think it’s super stylish, and you can see what baby is doing at all times.

Another fancy item from Boppy, is the Boppy Teething Scarf.  It’s super cute, around the neck, and baby can chew, when teething.  No worrying of fussiness with this scarf. Features include: Unique 2-in-1 design functions as a soothing teether and fashionable scarf that can be worn multiple ways Features an easy-to-grip teether made from safe, food-grade silicone Machine washable for easy care…

We love when we receive Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! Books.  They are so interesting, and intriguing.  But, when we receive the kid’s books, it’s an honor.  I have a 7 year old, and the books we just received, he’s already read through, and enjoys them. Sharkee and the Teddy Bear is such a cute story, and the Character is named after a Ripley aquarium mascot.  How cool is that?  The story line is both fun and unexpected.  It’s sure to delight your child, and even you and your family.  Jacob just loves it. A teddy bear has fallen into the ocean, but there were witnesses. And they want the teddy bear. Join Sharkee and his sassy sidekick as they search for the bear, stopping to ask all sorts of marine animals along the way with varying degrees of silliness.  There is so much more to the story, go to the site to check it out. Bremner and the Party is another amazing book from Ripley’s Believe it or Not!  The story line is also fun and unexpected.  And, another character named after a Ripley aquarium mascot.  Which is just so cool.  I love when characters are named after real…

Milkadamia is awesome.  My sister loves it, and says she’s never had something better tasting than this.  She uses it in recipes. Vanilla unplugged -sometimes it’s the simple things … Popping bubble wrap, skinny dipping, gentle morning sun on our face, smooth & creamy vanilla Milkadamia, OK maybe that one is just us. With all the flavors, it was hard for my sister to pick her favorite, but she said it’s the one pictured above!  I tried it, and it’s pretty good.  I love that’s it’s made from Raw, Not Roasted Nuts! With Milkadamia being Dairy Free, Gluten Free and NON GMO, it’s perfect.  I have a lactose intolerance, so it’s perfect.  I’ve found my new product to add to my coffee.  The Vanilla Unplugged, of course. If you want to shop Milkadamia, you can use this link, to locate where you can find it.  You will love it as much as we all do.  Even my 7 year old tried it, and he didn’t have that look on his face when he doesn’t like something.  He didn’t really say anything, but it wasn’t a bad look at all. I will be buying this for a long time! Connect With…

PB Fit is amazing.  Not only does it taste great, but it curves my appetite.  I can make so many things with it, that it just goes perfect with any meal.  I even tricked my husband, when he said he was skeptical, and put it in a shake.  He loved the taste. PBfit is a natural peanut butter powder with 87% less fat and about 1/3 the calories of traditional peanut butter. Because it is a powder, it is easier to use in smoothies, baking, and shakes of all kinds! Check out this Recipe, that I’ve made: Ingredients 3 Scoop Chocolate PBfit Plus 1/2 Cup Greek yogurt 1 Frozen banana 1 cup Almond milk Directions Throw everything in the blender and blend until smooth.

Dr Jacobs Naturals is fantastic.  It’s one of a kind care, that you can give your body.  The body wash is wonderful.  I love the way they smell, and the way they make me feel.  I feel so silky clean, after using Dr Jacobs Naturals.  And, my daughter, age 20, loves it too. Dr Jacobs Naturals is a unique blend of scents.  I love the scents I received, and will continue buying them, when I run out. Dr. Jacobs was a Swiss chemist that perfected the long-standing Castilian tradition of making Jabon de Castilla or Castile soap before the turn of the 19th century. Today, we still use the same recipes and work to uphold the long-standing tradition of making natural Castile Soap products. The company Dr. Jacobs was created by Joey and Ezra Aini in the spring 2011. Familiar with cosmetics and skincare from other brands they have launched, they are answering the call of demand from customers for a multi-purpose natural soap product. You can see, in the picture above, all the scents that there are.  You can get some awesome smelling body soap, from Dr Jacobs Naturals.  Don’t forget to get yours today.  You will love it…

Coobie Seamless Bras are out of this world.  I’ve never worn anything so comfortable.  It kinda feels like there’s nothing there at all.  I love sports bras, and that’s kind of what Coobie reminds me of.  And, they are so stylish.

For Memorial Day Weekend, they are having a huge sale.  Now is the time to get your Coobie Seamless Bra.  You will love Coobie, I know it.  As I stated, it’s so comfortable.
