Seriously?! An Electric Toothbrush Turned This Mouth Snob Around! #ad
Being the child of an “oral hygene professional” means I’ve always got someone on my case about my teeth and that I’ve been exposed to an array of dental products. I remember as a kid, like in the 90’s, we had one of those old school electric toothbrushes. It was nasty and strange. The darn thing vibrated […]

A breastfeeding mom's quest to eat well on the run…
Going back to work has been great for my sanity and emotional well being, it’s proving to be hard on my diet and nutrition though.

Budget crunching: Grocery costs. Could you manage to save some $$$
These days when all the bills and birth cost savings are out of the way we are making out with an average of $100 left for groceries and possible discretionary spending.

Like everyone else, we're looking for ways to "get by"…
Normally we don’t complain or share the financial situation with others but I am pretty sick of hearing about how “lucky we are” from people who THINK we are living the high life. I am not going to rant on and on about this though… We’ve got less than 3 months to save up the […]
Don't worry, I am not dead- just blog slacking.
Don’t worry, I am not dead. Just crazy busy. I survived the tornado warning and am still doing well with Tater. We are still moving stuff in to our new place and I did actually do the video tour of the new house today. The video is kind of a speed demon tour though, lol. […]

How much do you pay to banks each month? Take a closer look!
I am curious, do you know the exactly how much money you are paying in interest and bank fees each month? I ask because recently I’ve been particularly worried about this one credit card account I have. It was literally the first card I got when I decided to try reestablishing myself credit wise. This […]
The Filter Queen, a cute country home and more landlord drama…
Today was an early and productive day for us. We woke up and headed to our bank to discuss getting some legal documentation against our landlords.

WTF, the shower curtain is making me crazy!
The rental we are in right now strangely enough came equip with shower curtains. When we first moved in the shower curtains wreaked of urine and the house hadn’t been thoroughly cleaned so we contacted the rental company and they sent out a house cleaner. The house cleaner who barely spoke English told me they […]
