My family knows a thing or two about miracles. If you’re a regular reader, you know that in January 2010, my daughter was diagnosed with leukemia. Getting that news felt like being hit by a tru...
Lately, I’ve become a bit fashion obsessed — particularly vintage fashion — and with this obsession has come a newfound love of jewelry. Typically, this love would extend only as far as my ears...
I’d never really given dog food a lot of thought. I thought dog food was just dog food — plain and simple. Right up until the moment I got a picky dog. In the first few days after we got our ne...
Most of us have a few movies in our collection that watch repeatedly. For my family, the list includes Scarface and Grease, and my daughter loves The Princess and the Frog and the Madagascar movies. ...
I’d like to believe that most of us are kindhearted folks who’d love to help others, if only we knew how and had the means. Well thanks to Walmart, you can do your part to help fight hung...
Remember this little guy? His name was Shiloh and he was my birthday present in 2009. And oh, how I loved him. He was a sweet little puppy who we got when he was just 6 weeks old. He was a stubborn l...
Can you remember a time before you could flip over a food package and read the nutritional information on the back? Neither can I. That could just mean that we’re really young, but the point I&...
While I love Easter, my family and I usually don’t do much to celebrate except go to church, and maybe go to an egg hunt for my daughter. I’ve been wanting to make a dress for her for a w...
Here in Georgia, spring is my favorite season. It’s amazing to watch the Earth wake up after it’s winter slumber. It also gets me in the mood for Easter. We prefer to make our own Easter ...
Like last year, Walmart again challenged the Walmart Moms to stuff our family’s Christmas stockings for under $25. The problem? There are 6 stockings to stuff this year. Take a look: How did I ...
Only Dr. Seuss could make a lasting lesson about green living simple enough for children to understand. The Lorax has long been among my favorite books to teach kids about environmentalism, and now, ...
There are exactly 2 days a year when I actually enjoy cooking: Thanksgiving and Christmas. Maybe it’s the knowledge that my family expects a great, or the general jolliness of the holidays, but...
Like many others, things are tight for us this year. In my house, that means more handmade and experiential gifts and less stuff to buy. Of course, for the things I do buy, my intention is to buy gre...
I’m not much of a hostess. I completely admit that. Between the two of us, my husband is more likely to plan a party than I am. In recent months, though, we’ve had a number of family memb...
Lately, I’ve actually been starting to enjoy getting dressed up. Imagine that. For years, I hated dressy clothes and high heels, and shopping for clothes and shoes was even worse. Recently thou...
Money will be tight for a lot of people leading up to the holidays this year. My husband and I want to buy bikes for ourselves, but they can be pretty pricey. However, Walmart has brought back their ...
Being a Walmart Mom means that I am encouraged to try new products and experiences that I may not have tried otherwise. This week, that meant attempting to make a grilled pizza. The idea seemed easy ...
At my house, we love the Box Tops for Education program. If you’ve never heard of it, it’s a simple way for families to help their kids’ schools earn extra money. All you have to do...
Every parent knows that back to school time means shopping for school supplies. My daughter is entering first grade, so her list of required supplies is still pretty short and filled with items like ...
This year, Father’s Day has fallen on the weekend when we’re moving. We did most of the heavy lifting today, but there’s still lots of work to be done. So I had to come up with a sp...
For months, my husband and I have been meaning to buy a faucet-mounted water filter. We’ve had a Brita pitcher for a couple of years, and while it works for its intended purpose, we’re co...
I remember the days when the only way to earn points with Recyclebank was to have local recycling through their program in your community. Of late though, they’ve been making it much easier for...
If you know me, you know that I love sites like Pure Citizen, Blissmo and Groupon that allow me to get great deals on eco-friendly products. Well, like those sites, Heartsy offers big savings on a va...
The Pulse frame (bottom left) fits in beautifully with our other artwork and decor on our living room console table. We take lots of photos (what can I say? Our daughter is a doll), and we never real...
As Mother’s Day nears, it can be easy for those of us who have relatively happy comfortable lives to forget the mothers around the world who are not so lucky. Here’s a sobering fact: Even...
My husband is a wonderful man, bless his heart. But it can be hard for him to figure out what gifts I’d like to receive for special occasions without asking me directly. So babe, this post is f...
There are a lot of things that I wish I could go back and do differently when my daughter was an infant. For one thing, I would’ve made the effort to breastfeed her for more than 2 days. Yes, i...
There’s nothing I hate more than when my shopping routine is disrupted because a product I buy all the time is taken away. Apparently, lots of other customers feel the same way, and Walmart has...
It’s Girl Scout cookie season, and I’d be a liar if I said I didn’t already buy a few boxes. But I can make this promise: I won’t be buying any more. This probably sounds hars...
In general, I am not a big fan of Earth Day promotions. Because I try to live a greener lifestyle every day, it can be difficult for me to tolerate events that make a big deal about sustainability fo...
