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.

Arm and Hammer Baking Soda Volcano

So my husband was home for the holiday's and he comes to me and say's "Do we have any Baking Soda?" I had just received Arm and Hammer Baking Soda from Smiley 360 to try for free, and wasn't sure what I was going to use it for , since there are so many uses. Well what my husband did with it, I had never seen.  He made a Volcano.

 
 
First he and my daughter took a small container and put play-doh  around it to make it look like a volcano.  Next they put Baking Soda in the container and then poured a little bit of vinegar over the baking soda. This is what happened when the two are mixed.
 
 
My daughter was so amazed, and it was fun and easy to do.

Body Mary Retinol Surge Moisturizer

 
 
I really enjoyed using Body Mary Retinol Surge Moisturizer . It contains 2.5% retinol cream with vegan hyaluronic acid, green tea, vitamin E and vitamin B5. I could really notice a difference in the appearance of my skin. It felt softer and looked smother. My friend even said she noticed a difference in the appearance of my skin. The moisturizer wasn't greasy and it didn't have a strong smell to it.         

   
I really liked the pump on this product. It allows a small amount of product to come out , so your not wasting any.


I would recommend Body Merry Retinol Surge Moisturizer. I am going to keep it in my routine.

KISS InstaWave



I was very excited to receive the KISS InstaWave to Review because A few months ago my Niece Shelby had a dance to go to, and she wanted me to come help her Mom curl her hair. Well let's just say after an hour of trying, she went to the dance with her hair straight. So I wanted to see if the KISS InstaWave would work, and let me tell you IT DID.

Shelby's hair is straight,thick and very hard to curl.

So I started by separating the top layer of hair from the bottom.Just because her hair is really thick.

Then we started curling. I couldn't believe how easy it was to use, from any angle,with any hand. KISS InstaWave is a fully automatic tangle-free curler that instantly creates beautiful curls. 

Hold the InstaWave vertically. Then simply place section of hair on the InstaWave curling rod.




Touch the Curl DIal either left or right, and the InstaWave instantly and automatically catches and curls the hair. A good tip is to switch between curling right and curling left, to create the most natural curls. It was so easy Shelby started doing it herself.



Hold for 5-10 second's.  The longer you hold the tighter the curl.


This is  what the curl's started to look like.

The end result's were beautiful.

After
Before
I would recommend Kiss InstaWave any day, and I know Shelby would to. It has a lot of features, including it  automatically shut's off after 90 minuets. It also has 2 heat settings which includes a low/high switch with max temp of 420.  . If you are interested in the Kiss InstaWave here is were you can find it.

Glam Dress Up Birthday Party

My daughter turned 4 this past weekend, and we had a Glam Dress Up Party for her. She had so much fun helping me make everything, and she had even more fun at the party.

We made this runway for the fashion show, By using wrapping paper, and star's , glue and glitter I bought from the Dollar Tree. I put each child's name on a star.
 
 
 
 

 
 
We made the cake and cupcake's with her favorite color Icing.
 
 
 
 
 
 
I made a bow with the napkin's that held the fork and spoon's.
 
 
 
 
The table was pretty with pink.   
 
 
 


 
 
We even had a spot for the boy's.
 
 
 
Are you on the list? We made these VIP pole's out of wood, PVC pipe, and Christmas ornament's on the top. The rope was made out of velvet ribbon, stuffing and a bungee cord.


 
 
We had a area to take pictures.
 
 
 





 
 
And a place for hair, nail's and dress up clothes.








It was such a great day. Thank You for letting me share it with you.

Halloween Decoration's

So after we made the monster on the front door, our porch still seemed like it needed more. I had some spare wood sitting in the garage, so I cut it into 5 different size pieces, sanded it down and grabbed some paint brushes and paint.

The wood on top of the pumpkins are sticks that I hot glued on. The wrap on the mummy was co-flex that I guess came in a first-aid kit we had. My husband found some screws that I drilled into Frankenstien's neck. It was a really fun and simple project to do with my daughter. This weekend we are going to the pumpkin patch. I can't wait to add the pumpkin's .

Seventh Generation Natural Hand Wash Review



I received  "Seventh Generation Natural Hand Wash" from Smiley360 for free to review. I think the slogan said it all. Life is complicate. Soap should be simple. Isn't that the truth? I loved the Seventh Generation Natural Hand Wash. When you pumped it out it was thin, and not thick, like some of the other brands of soap. The natural hand wash had a good lather to it also. You felt like your hands were getting clean. The smell was wonderful. I would absolutely buy this product. If you would like to try this product here is a 20%  promo code:Smiley20 exclusively at SeventhGeneration.com.

TRASH TO ART

Recycle your toilet paper rolls.

 
 
 
 
 
First you will need to save your toilet paper roll
 
 
Then you will need to cut into little pieces and decide your pattern.
 
 
After that I picked my color and painted my canvas.
 
 
I then started the task of painting the toilet paper rolls.
 

 
Finally I used my glue gun to attach the rolls to the canvas.
(A little dab will to the job)
