Who Cares Wednesday--- WINNING!!!

Iknow you thought of charlie sheen right away when you read my title... what is up with that fella anyway? Well, i dont know what the heck he means when he talks of winnning, but i mean i have won again!!!!!!!!!!!!! Winning is good.. i strongly suggest it!lol
This is what the wonderful UPS man brought to my home:

And its definetely my kind of prize: FOOD!!!
I wond 5 full size boxes of cereal and a 10.00 target giftcard!! saweet!
I dont win all the time, but is super fun when i do! check out your fav blogs, chances are they have some kind of giveaway once in a while.
Tid bit of info: i have been neglegent on giving fun money saving tips... shame on me. So, here goes:
Want to find a way to give cheaper easter baskets to your kids?
Use 2 liter pop bottles!!!, I love pop bottles, i yearn to find a way to reuse them. i have made crafts with them etc. Simply because they are a staple in my home. So heres how ;(sorry no pics yet)
Clean and dry bottle
Cut in half.... about 3 in. down from top, cut our rectangles for handles
(i take it you understand we are using the bottom half)
cover with fabric or paint, construction paper.. wrapping paper etc.
Add your yummies!
I know its smaller than the regular size easter basket, but that serves a great purpose as well. Less to buy to make it look full! And lets face it, easter is fun but all of the candy isnt a must, a little bit of candy is fun!
Here is the kicker for me: I normally always buy the cheap buckets or baskets from the dollar tree- they are great, only a buck, right? But i have a hard time throwing them away!! I always think ,we will reuse them, and we dont. i always think, we will make a craft with them.. and we dont.So i get to craft with my lovely 2 liter bottles, and i dont feel awful about trashing them!
Gotta run, stuff to do!
Lets not forget what easter is about! I love easter and the fun aspect of it, but lets not forget to tell our children what the lord has done for us and what this holiday is about! MWAH!

Who Cares Wednesday

So the weather here is super great!! It just teases me for summer though.. i am sure we will have a ice storm next week or something. crazy ohio. But i wanted to share a huge accomplishment with my wonderful fans! I will give you a little history first... i cant grow anything. Whether it be flower, tree, or vegetable, it will not thrive or grow. Well, i do ok with iris, but nothing short of a cross bow will kill those guys.Anyway, lookie what is blooming in my yard!!

This is huge folks, this has only happened once before and these crazy things have been planted for a loooooong time. So, i stand before you a proud easter lilly producer- you may applaud.lol
Hope you are having a great Who cares Wednesday!! Go outside, enjoy the fresh air and be nice to someone, you may like it.

Chillicothe Ohio. really happening place.( insert sarcasm).But they have this great big Dollar tree that makes mine look dinky. I found some really neat things, as did the Hubs ..... we wanted to share, but my daughter took off with my memory card... we have no idea where it is. ugh.

Super excited today!! My little blog has recently hit 150 followers! Yippee!!So, because i love all of you so, i am having offering a giveaway!
This is a very cute easter basket idea: Shrinky Dinks charm bracelet set!

It is super cute! This isnt a review or anything. I love winning kid related things.. so my mind is always geared towards fun things for kids. I ran across these shrinky Dinks that you can design yourself and turn them into a bracelet! How cool is that?? Did i mention they are Tinkerbell??

Your little one can color the tinkerbell charms, then with supervision, an adult can help with the baking and then when they are done and cool, they can attach them to the bracelet any way they like! Enjoy!!

Who Cares Wednesday

Hello! So i am super late with my post.. just a ton of stuff going on here. Plus , i must admit i am a bit lazy
Super ready for warm weather to come back and visit us in ohio too. As most of you know, i have 4 children... its alot. I havent ever really spoken of our extended family. We have 3 dogs and 2 cats. I am horribly allergic to dogs.. my luck right. They are mainly my hubs responsibility. He enjoys them alot.You know, i used to always love animals, really. i worked at a vets office for a while, and still to this day is one of my fave jobs i have ever had.But something happened to me after i had kids... its like i dont have any more love to dish out to the poor four legged freaks anymore.Dont get me wrong, i like them, i def never want anything bad to happen to any of them..... well, except maybe for this one...

Meet Bruno....or you can call him the Hell hound like i do...
age: little over 1 year
brand: german shephard
personality type: fun, kind of obedient,loves kids
agression level: aggressive only to the wind,trash,sticks,flower beds,outdoor carpet
fav things: bark all night long, howl super loud at 4am,dig up flower beds,play with other dogs we dont know, strangers, chew up anything in his path
dislikes: cats (go figure) this paticular dislike compels him to whine and cry upon sight of cat,chase them under the porch, and then dig a tunnel to china trying to apprehend cat.
If anyone has a dog like bruno, your in my prayers.
have a great day

My little Tecumseh!

Good day to you out there, hope life is treating you well! i have had a interesting weekend! After lots of thought, i finally decided to put my oldest olivia in a pageant. Yes, i said it. A pageant. Dont judge me.lol
This was a great one , too. It was for the nonprofit charity KidzCount here in portsmouth ohio. It gives back to children in the community, and always puts efforts into the pediatrics unit in our local hospital, Southern Ohio Medical Center.
Sooooo, i figured this was a great start. The child had to be a community hero and perform a dance to a song that reflected her community hero. So after some thought and some advice from friends, we went with Tecumseh- he is from Chillicothe Ohio which is about 1 hour from here. And if you read this blog at all, you may have guessed i took it upon myself to make her Tecumseh costume...

Not too bad, for a first time , i didnt think. It was a lot of fun to make it and bling it up!

This was her evening wear, and nooo i didnt make it! lol, i am sure that you knew that just by looking at it!
I must say that our first pageant experience was a great one! olivia loved it, she made new friends and she didnt even win! It didnt bother her at all, she recieved a princess crown and some candy and she also got awarded best eyes! I met alot of nice moms, who were supportive of everyone!
So just wanted to share with you all how my weekend went and my thoughts of the intro to the pageant world!
If your looking for a great charity look into KidzCount, its for a great cause!

I hate to clean.... really

Hey there to all of you in blogland... There is alot about me you probably dont know.. some stuff , if you read enough maybe you do know. I wanted to share two things with you today:
1.I hate to clean
2. I am a Bzz agent ( super cool)
So i am a bzz agent, and i love to do campaigns with them, basically try to spread the word about certain companies and products. I am super duper excited to share with you this campaign! Its from SC Johnson and Johnson! The maker of all things good! So i recieved this box of goodies, and i mean goodies: Pledge, Glade plug in, Glade candle ,Scrubbing Bubbles mega foam shower cleaner, Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaner!

As i stated before, i dont love to clean, its just never ending around here... 4 little monkies running around. geesh, if i cared i would never stop cleaning, good thing i dont, right? after all , when would i blog? So when i do clean, i really like to use products that make my job a whole lot easier. So i was totally jazzed about getting to take part in this campaign for SCjohnson and johnson!
So now my shower will be cleaner, house will smell better, and wood will be shinier.. not to mention my toilet will get a good scrubbing!!
Thanks so much for reading today! Itis spring, go outside and enjoy it!!
By the way, become BZZ agent- you wont be sorry!!
