Save on Baby Products with Walmart’s #EveryLittleStep Event
When I think of purchasing items for baby, the first thing that always comes to my mind is "How much is this going to cost me?" Not too long ago, I read about a family who hired a certified baby planner (Did you even know there is such a thing? I didn't!), and because they trusted this person, they ended up spending a lot of money on products and furniture that was useless because it was their first baby and they had no idea what they would need or not need! Not only did they buy a lot of useless…
Oreos are out of control! | Different Kinds of Oreos
This weekend, we went to Walmart to go grocery shopping. Now, I know that a lot of people boycott Walmart, but in our neck of the woods, our options are limited! I also know that these aren't good for or so save it! As we went down the cookie aisle, I noticed that the Oreos section was HUGE!! What happened to just having the option Oreos and Double Stuf Oreos. This is what we saw: I can remember when you'd say, "Grab me some Oreos, please," there was no guesswork. You just grabbed a bag of Oreos. Now, there are…
Do you have a favorite album that takes you back? | #music
Music has that incredible power to transport us to different moments in our lives, doesn't it? It's like a time machine. Whether it's a classic tune from the 80s or 90s or something more recent, like a track from the Bass Dust Playlist, the right song can instantly evoke memories and emotions from the past. It's like each note carries a piece of our history with it. As I sit here getting a little work done, I have it on Hit Country music station on DIRECTV, and a song came on that took me back to when I was seven…

I get to meet my namesake! | #family #heritage
Were you named after someone? I was. I've never met her before, and next Sunday (God willing) I'll never be able to say that again! I received a call, last week, from my Grandmother who said that she wants the whole family to gather for dinner to get together with a family member who we've never met! Daddy named me after her (event though my middle name came out of a book!). Lisa is my grandmother's sister's daughter. That would make her my dad's cousin, if I've followed that correctly, and all I really know is that her name is…

Affordable Kitchen Accessories | #kitchen #deals
As you may have read, I'm ready for a kitchen remodeling project. We're really near to getting a kitchen renovation at this point, but I would really like to figure out a way to work with what we have and liven it up a little! Thanks to a few reader comments, I've been looking for ideas on Pinterest and Houzz for different ideas! I've found some really great, affordable kitchen accessories at Lakeside Collections. What I'm realizing is that I've been scared of the cost of organization and decor for no reason. This site is great for my budget. Part…
Kitchen accessories help please!! | #decor #kitchenfail #ugly
A little over a year ago, we moved to a small down just east of Houston. After the purchase of our home, we had to wait a few weeks to move in, because when we bought it, it was in the middle of a remodel. We didn't quite understand where the remodel was going, but the kitchen was complete (has to be close to the original kitchen as I'm fairly sure there was never any "updating" done!) Once the construction was complete on the rest of the house, we moved in. We had to put in new walls, doors, knobs,…
