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.

#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.

This product makes my skin feel so hydrated. It is like I didn't even know my skin needed a drink, until I put The Instanatural Retinol Serum on my face. It contains Retinol Serum  2.5% with 20% Vitamin C, 10% Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E & Powerful Skin-Firming Antioxidant Blend for Face, Eyes & Sensitive Skin.

InstaNatural's Argan Oil Hair Mask

 


 

I was exited to receive Argan Oil Hair Mask to try. InstaNatural's Argan Oil Hair Mask is a deep conditioning treatment designed to transform dry and damaged strands into soft, shiny, healthy hair. My hair is straight but I can't get that smooth look without using a  flat iron to straighten it. The brand states that the Hair Mask key ingredient's are   Argan oil, Amino Acid Complex, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, and Vitamin B5.
It was so easy to use after washing my hair I toweled  dried it and them applied the mask from root to end's. I allowed it to sit for 15 minuets. It was thick so it stayed in my hair and did not drip, so I wasn't stuck in the bathroom the whole time I was waiting.

 
 
It also had a really good sweet smell to it. After using Argan Oil Hair Mask my 4 year old daughter was sitting next to me, and said your hair smell's so good. She said it smelled like a cupcake. I could not recognize the smell, but she was right it smelled really good.
 
Here are before and after pictures after my first use.

I could really tell the difference in the feel and look of my hair. It felt smoother and softer. I will keep this product in my hair routine and can't wait to keep using it and seeing the result's.

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.
