About Me

My photo
Hi my name is Jennifer and I am a stay at home mom. I worked for a non profit organization for 10 years and then last year I was able to start staying home with my beautiful 3 year old daughter Addison. I have learned a lot about myself this past year. I love to do crafts and paint and anything that involves DIY projects. I also found a love for coupons and saving our family money on groceries. Extreme couponing is not what I do but I do alright price matching and clipping a few coupons. I just started with the whole Freebie craze and is it addicting once they send your sample in the mail or you get that subscription to your favorite magazine just for taking a survey. I want to just share crafts ,makeover on furniture , the deals I get with my coupons and the freebies that come in the mailbox with you. I am not a professional writer. I am sure you have already found misspelled words and messed up sentences. I am just a Mom wanting to share my crazy, wonderful, unpredictable, amazing life with other mothers.

Reversible Pallet Sign


I had a lot of fun, making this Scarecrow/Snowman sign. It was so easy. I just layed down the wood, and nailed the brim of the hat to the wood. Then I flipped it over and did the same. Then painted both sides.

Pallet Signs

I was able to get a few pallets. I originally was going to try and build a bar with them, for outside by the pool. After putting it together, I really wasn't happy with the final project. I started to disassemble it and decided to try and make some signs with them.  I enjoy making these signs so much. I used the wood from the pallet's and my Cricut machine to cut out the vinyl lettering. Now I can't wait to find some more pallet's , so I can make some more signs.

Santa Fe Art Supply Artist Brush Set

I was really pleased when I received the Santa Fe Art Supply Artist Brush Set in the mail.
 
The brush set was in a nice carrying case.
 
 
When I opened the case up, I was very pleased with the look of the brushes.
 
 
Especially the feature that allowed you to stand the brushes up.
 
 
After cleaning the brushes with soup and water, I started to paint.
 
 
The brushes felt smooth while I was painting, They did not Shed and felt comfortable in my hand.  They are perfect for  Acrylic, Oil, Watercolor,Ink, & Face Paint. I would recommend this 15pc
 Santa Fe Artist Brush Set.

Expandable Hose

I was very happy to receive the Expandable Hose by Quality Source Products. We are getting ready to open our pool up soon, and the water hose we have is a regular one. It had several puncture holes on it that we had to tape up. So we were in need of a good water hose, and I think we got one.

This is the packaging that the box came in. Impressive for a 100 ft hose.

 
When I opened the box this is what the Expandable Hose looked like.
 
 
 
I attached the hose and turned on the water. The hose went from it's small size and expanded.
 
 
Here is a picture of the Expandable Hose when it it extended all the way out. The hose expands to
100 ft. You can see they are past the stop sign.
 
The expandable hose has a shut on, shut off valve.
 
 
Which allows you to have 3 different streams of water.
 
 
 
 
I am very happy with this water hose and would recomend it.
Here is the link to view the Expandable Hose.

#DisneySide@HomeCelebration

We were so excited to be picked to host a DisneySide@HomeCelebration party.  Disney Parks and MomSelect sent us a free DisneySide@HomeCelebration Kit. I will put a link of the unboxing of the celebration kit at the bottom of the post, if you are interest in seeing what was included in the kit.
 
My daughter, who is 4 years old and I decided to do a tea party.  We had so much fun planning the party so we could show our Disney Side.

We made sure the table was pretty with pink and of course Sofia The First.
 
 
We made snacks, by dipping pretzel's in white chocolate and adding sprinkles and chocolate chips. We also did the same thing with wafer cookies. My daughter really enjoyed making the snacks
 
We added mixed match tea cups to the table setting.


 
I made a Sofia dress by using cupcakes and buttercream icing. It was the center of the cake table.
 
 
 
 
 
 
We played games, like pin the smiley face on the mickey.

 
Then we sat down and had a tea party.

 
After the kids were done with the tea party and having fun playing. The adults enjoyed the tea party too.


 
It was such a great day. Thank you so much Disney Parks and MomSelect for providing us with the free @HomeCelebration Kit. We had so much fun showing our #DisneySide.
 
Here is the link to the video of the unboxing of the celebration kit.

Body Merry Age Defense Eye Cream


 
Body Merry Age Defense Eye Cream is for Dark Circles, Wrinkles and Puffiness.  The company states that this is the only eye cream on the market that has over 70 power packed ingredients including: Vitamins C + E + B5, Peptide Complex, Amino Acid Emulsification, Hyaluronic Acid, Retinol, Antioxidants, MSM and many many more! It is  made in the USA and is cruelty free. They also have a 90 day 100% satisfaction  guarantee on the product.
 
I have tried several of the Body Merry line of facial products, and have enjoyed using all of them. I love the pump that they use on the product. You are not wasting any product, it pump's out just the right amount.
 
 
The eye cream does not have a strong smell to it and it goes on smooth, not greasy. I didn't realize how much my skin needed to be moisturized until I put this cream on. My face felt like it was getting a drink of water.
 
 
 
I have seen less puffiness around my eyes and I believe my fine lines are looking a little better. I am going to keep using this product to see if there are any more changes. I would recommend using this product.
 
 
I received this product for free to try and the opinions are 100% my own.
