This Frugal Family

I love Wellements Organics, and have been using it for years.  My little one used to use the Gripe Water.  Whenever he was fussing, we would give it to him.  Now that he’s a little older, I have passing these products on to some new parents.  Their impression is just as strong as mine.  Wellements Organics works wonders for your child.  All products were new in box, when handed to the new parents. The Wellements Organic Gripe Water is so fabulous, and it’s for new babies.  When they are fussy, just give them a 1/2 teaspoon, and you’ll see the difference.  We used to put it in our son’s bottle.  He’s suck that bottle down, and he was then pleasant. There’s  Nighttime Formula of the Gripe Water also.  It’s really effective, when used properly. Wellements makes an Organic Baby Chest & Foot Rub, that’s perfect for any little guy/girl, with a cold.  There’s no menthol is this rub, so it’s safe, along with Non GMO.  We loved this for Jacob, as well.  And, I’m sure the parents we are passing it to, will love it just as much. What makes this product so wonderful are the scents of eucalyptus and lavender…

My son is 7, and Gilly The Grateful Superohero has taught him to be grateful for what he has.  Love, etc. are great things to receive.  He reads this book every night now, before bed.  It’s a great book for teaching kids of all ages the power of gratitude.  Ruth King dedicated this book to her dad.  I can understand why. Bobbie doesn’t realize all that he has, until Gilly shows him.  Jacob, my 7 year old, can really relate to this book.  And now he has so much more respect, and gratitude.  I can’t get over the fact that he reads it, again and again.  I’m proud of all Jacob is becoming.  When Jacob outgrows Gilly; I will save the book, for the future. Gilly the Grateful Superhero Teaching kids of all ages the power of gratitude! Bobbie is a little boy who isn’t very appreciative for the good things he has. One day, a special superhero named Gilly comes to visit. Gilly has a unique superpower to teach kids of all ages the importance of practicing gratitude and being thankful for everyone and everything. Throughout the day, Gilly teaches Bobbie how to be thankful for all the blessings he has in his…

The Headache Hat My 21-year-old, daughter, Sarah, suffers from migraines, and she recently tried the Headache Hat.  She said it really helped her migraine to calm down, within about an hours time, and she then said within 3 hours it was gone.  Which is different for her, because when she gets a migraine, it usually lasts a good day or more.  She now loves the Headache Hat, and says she will continue to use it, as often as she needs to.  She also said, “It’s really relaxing”. Now, the Headache Hat is sold on Amazon, and it’s priced really good, for what it does.  It’s nice to have this in the house.  I haven’t had a migraine in nearly 8 years, but I used to get them bad.  If only I would’ve had this product then. The Headache Hat comes with an awesome carry case, for those trips.  It’s reusable ice pack makes getting rid of a headache a cinch.  It’s really a great item to have on hand. About the Headache Hat: 92% cotton 8% lycra SOOTHING COMPRESSION – Experience instant and long-lasting cooling therapy for migraine headaches, head and neck tension, stress relief and more COMFORTABLE FLEX FIT…

We were in need of a new Gasoline container, for the lawn mowers, so this was right up my alley.  I love Scepter, and I spotted more at Walmart.  The Easy to pour feature has to be the best.  But, I don’t want to forget the fact that the container is Fast Fill without Spills, and it’s got a rugged design.  It follows the Child Resistant Requirements for Closures on portable fuel containers, as well.  Which is great, since I have a 7 year old.  And, it’s made in the USA.   Scepter is easy to use, and you just press to pour.  There’s also a fast pour feature, and controllable flow rate which allows you to control the amount of fuel being dispensed.  The design is Durable, and there is a simple shut off control, as well.  But that’s not all!  It’s got improved protection, because of the child safety lock.  It’ll save gas for where it’s needed, and keep your hands clean from spills.  It’s also ergonomic and comfortable to use.  And, has an attached dust cap. With all these wonderful qualities, why wouldn’t you want to give Scepter a try? The containers come in a variety of…

This shirt is so nice.  It’s soft, and gentle, on my skin.  I love wearing it, and they have big sizes, because I’m a 2XL, and that’s the size I received.  I know last month was Dr. Seuss month, but Teddy The Dog Shirts are good any month. Their shirts all have a theme, but the one I received was for Dr. Seuss month.  There’s a Muttever It Takes shirt, it’s super adorable, go check it out here.  These orders are only open til April 30, so get your order in.  I’m going to place an order, as soon as I post this.  I love the V-Neck T-Shirt.  It won’t be close to my neck, that way. Teddy the Dog has more than just Shirts.  You can get Gift Certificates, cups, etc.  You need to check out their site. Teddy the Dog’s Site has stuff for your entire family.  There’s a Junior’s section, which I just found, when I was navigating through the site.  It’s really cool.  Books, clothes, and more. There’s not only something for everyone in your family, but with your first order, you can receive a discount.  Go on over, and check it out. About Teddy… I’m a…

We love MindSpace!  Their products helped me declutter my mancave in just a few minutes.  And, I’ve even taken a few products to work.  They are on my desk, and everyone that comes in, comments on how neat things look now.  I need to order some more products for my 7 year old’s bedroom.  He really needs to declutter.  My wife wants a few products for her office as well.  Mindspace is a great company, with some great products. Whether it’s your Beauty Space, Home Space, Office Space, etc. they have the right products for you.  I love my file holder.  I can keep my bills separated now, where I was having difficulties before.  And, I’m also able to keep all warranties, for products, in a file, as well.  Mindspace has it all. The Multistep File Organizer is so cool.  I love that there’s a new step for each file, well, I’ll be honest, I put a few files on each step.  This has been my way of organizing all the papers, in my mancave.  It’s easy, functional, and it’s out of the way. The Compact Organizer Caddy is my favorite product though.  I’ve been able to take all the junk, in the…

This book is great.  My 7-year-old loved it.  We’ve read it a hundred times.  He loves the story.  You will too, I’m sure! Dexter ,and Jack, are going on vacation, and the way they are going, neither one was prepared for.  It’s a great book, by a great writer.  I really enjoy every time we read it.  It reminds me of my first trip, and Jacob will be taking his, this Summer, so it’s great for him to read. Vacation For Dexter! is a great book for kids of all ages.  Jacob really digs Dexter.  He loves that Dexter can get Jack through his trip.  He also loves how Dexter was nervous, then fought back his nerves, to make Jack feel better. This book is remarkable in every way.  You really have to read it, and one fan will have a chance to win all three books in the Dexter series.  Make sure you book mark this page to see how. “Ladies and Gentlemen, please direct your attention to the flight attendants as we review the safety features of this aircraft before takeoff.” If you are going on Vacation, this Summer, this book is for your child.  Everyone’s child should…

I love the look of the new items for Summer, from Thirty-One.  They are fantastic, and my wife is going nuts.  My daughter, age 21, and wife, are fighting over who gets what from Thirty-One.  They want the same bags, but if they get the same tote, they will fight over which one is whose. Let’s talk about Easter for a few.  They have the cutest Easter Basket.  I got it for my 7 year-old.  He’s going to love it.  He will be able to carry it around, with his Easter Hunt Eggs.  And, the Easter Bunny will be filling it, as well. Now, who’s going to the beach this summer?  There’s some wonderful totes, and thermal totes, for you.  The designs are so spectacular.  Thirty-One outdid themselves with these. The Fresh Market Thermal is perfect for the vehicle, if you are taking a trip.  Or, even on the beach/park, because the bag is thermal.  You can keep items cold for hours.  It has the capacity to hold two 9X13 pans.  That’s huge!  I love the colors in the Ombre Stripe!  Take a look at all the different choices. There’s also the Essential Storage Tote.  There’s a lot of room…

I can’t go out much, because I deal with Panic Disorder.  And, well, Valentine’s Day, and all the people, I couldn’t go out.  So, we had a Valentine’s Date at home, with Crated With Love.  It was so special.  We started with the book that came with Crated With Love, so we knew what to do.  Our box was Our Sweetheart Safari.  It was so much fun, and super cute! The book has challenges in it, so Challenge One was “Our Safari Skills”, Challenge Two:  “Lions, Tigers and Bears”, Challenge Three:  “Jungle River Excursion”, Challenge Four:  “Our Goals Journal”.  These are so cute, and so fun to do with the person you love, for a special day, or any day.  We just picked Valentine’s Day, because my spouse knew I couldn’t be around all those people. Why a Date Night, you may ask, well here’s the answer found on Crated With Love: Couples that have dedicated “couple time” at least once a week are 3.5 times more likely to classify their marriage as “very happy” compared to those couples who enjoy less quality time together. My daughter, age 21, and her boyfriend, age 22, even asked if they could borrow…

I’ve been using Cave Tools for some time now, and every time I order something, I just get more impressed.  The Jalapeno Grill Rack with Pepper Corer is so great.  Even though the weather isn’t nice enough to grill, in Pennsylvania, right now, I’m still using the pepper corer and my hubby still used the rack.  My mom loves her hot peppers, so this is a treat when she comes to my house, and actually has some peppers already cored.  She loves this little tool, too, and asked where she could get one.  I sent her to the Cave Tools page, on Amazon. The Pepper Grill Rack is so functional, and easy to use.  You just core the pepper, and slide it in the hole.  It couldn’t be more easy.  I can do it, and I’m a little over the top.  I love using the rack, and even though it is chilly in Pa, we have had a few warm days, so my husband tried out the rack.  My mom loved the way the peppers turned out, and said that not only did she need the corer now, but the rack too, so my dad could grill the peppers when…
