My new earrings!!!

I got the cutest pair of earrings this week! I have gotten alot of compliments on them as well.


The artist is an 11 year old named Jenelle. Her mom and she created this shop to help keep her mind off of the bullying she had to deal with. $1.00 from the sale of each piece of jewelry is donated to EVERYONE MATTERS, an anti-bullying organization. Which is one of the coolest ideas. I have been the mom of both the bullied and the bullier and I thought it only right to buy a pair. Now I think Ill go back and buy a few more. Hopefully my friends will as well! 

They are so pretty! I love them!!!
(sorry the pic is so fuzzy! its from hubby's phone!)

I bought these earrings and was not compensated in any way! I just wanted to share an awesome site with my friends! Hope you guys buy some too! They are so cute!

I love getting free stuff in the mail to try and share with my friends! This could not have come at a better time! I was sent a FREE 4 oz sample box of liquid Multi-Symptom Cold Mucinex in Very Berry flavor to try by Smiley360.

Mucinex has always been in my medicine box but I did not give it to the kids since the box always stated not to. This is good for children ages 4 and up. So I figured why not try it? Something to help the kiddos feel a bit better. And yes I took some too!

It deff has a berry smell but its not too potent. Just enough to be noticed and not smell to mediciney. The taste, well it does taste like medicine. But it works. I was surprised because the last time I took something to help with phlem, I thought I was going to hack up a lung! This time it wasn't that bad and the yuck did come up and I am starting to feel better and so are the kids!

I love getting stuff in the mail!  I got a package with CAMPBELLS  Slow Kettle Style Soup and my choice of soup was Southwest style Chicken Chili. 
You heat it over the stove until its steamy hot or warm, however you like your soup.
I put it in a smaller bowl and put Mexican Style shredded cheese on it.

 This was so good! It had just enough kick for me to notice. I literally had to his from the kids! It would have been easy but the funky socks that came with the Chili gave my location away!

This year we are doing something different for Abby's valentines. We are making them! No store bought cheap cards this year. There are alot of ideas online and we found alot of ideas on Pintrest. We decided on something small and actually cheap since this year our budget is very tight. We needed enough for both her classroom and her Brownie Troop. Another benefit is from the supplies we bought we can save the leftovers and make her birthday party goodie bags and only change the message on the card stock and the contents of the bags. This is the final product! We think they turned out good for a first year try!


At Wal-Mart we bought treat bags in the candy making isle and colored card stock in the printer/copier paper section (about $2 cheaper than in the scrapbook area!). At the Dollar Store we bought the Teddie Crackers and a small stapler with staples. We placed 5 crackers in each baggie. The crackers are bigger than Teddie Grahams and look like 2 bear friends standing beside each other. Then we folded the top over and placed a card stock card on the end and stapled them shut. 

We got the template for the card on another site, teddy bear valentine link

Today I got my House Party party kit for Adventure Time Fionna and Cake!! The kids were giddy cause I waited to open it until they got home. See, I can be a nice mommy sometimes! This is what was in it:

  
 Balloons, VIP pass holders, comic books, 2 videos, temp, tattoos and anti-bullying bracelets.

I've never really been overly fond of Adventure Time but my kids love the show. So I applied to host. I have to say Im glad I did because there is a message with this one. I'm all in favor of any show that attempts to deal with the major bullying issue the United States seems to have with their children, teenagers and some adults.  






 Although this party is closed to any more applicants and hosts, there are others open! If your not already a member, follow the link, houseparty.com and sign up! Not only is it a good reason to have a party, its a good way to get to try things and get some free stuff.
