If you recall, a few weeks ago I went to Walmart and bought the activation kit for Walmart's Family Mobile program.  I set aside my iPhone and started putting my new myTouch to work.  We all want to save money.  We all have cell phones (or want them).  We ALL want the BEST deal possible.    My reasons for trying the Walmart Family Mobile program was the unlimited plan, one of the lowest price rate plans that I could find, and I wanted to see how the service compared to my existing Verizon … [Read more...]

I know it happens to you too...right? "Honey...I'm on my way home.  What's for dinner??" "uhh...it's a surprise!" OH &^%$....what am I going to make for dinner! This is my conversation with my husband almost daily!  I'm NOT a great cook, I don't really like cooking (mainly because I don't like cleaning up the kitchen!).  So...if I can make it fast, easy, and actually edible...I'm on it! Here's all you need to get dinner started:   Seriously...that's … [Read more...]

We are a "heart" conscious family. With a child born with a heart defect, a husband with high blood pressure, and myself with an ever-expanding waistline (which isn't good for the heart)....we're conscious! Trying to be "heart healthy" doesn't mean you have to sacrifice taste at ALL! In fact, it means you get to experiment with vegetables and seasonings that you've probably never mixed together before. With the Save Mart 350 Race coming up...I decided to share with you a SUPER AWESOME heart … [Read more...]

EPIC the movie

How was your Memorial weekend??  We had my nieces in town...and it was the PERFECT time to get out and see a movie!  Thank goodness I recently made my trip to Sam's Club and had a bag full of Tyson Chicken Nuggets to feed to the kiddos before we headed out to see EPIC the movie.  After a fun day at the lake, slaving over a stove for HOURS is NOT what I had in mind.  Having the option for a quick and healthy dinner with Tyson Chicken Nuggets and some Del Monte green beans really made it easy … [Read more...]

EPIC movie

  It's a sunny afternoon in northern Nevada, and I'm sitting on the patio in a lounge chair.  I can feel the sun beating on my face while I adjust my sunglasses to see my romance novel more clearly.  In the background, I hear the birds chirping, squirrels jumping from tree to tree, and faint sounds of lawn mowers in the distance of yards blocks away.  SERIOUSLY...I'm totally dreaming!  It's late afternoon, and I have a million things to do before 6:00.  Run to Sam's Club, feed my … [Read more...]

Walmart Family Mobile

We are a family of FIVE...and we all NEED cell phones (yes, even Isaac!)   As the Family Financial Manager, it rests upon my shoulders to make sure we save every dollar where we can and use those hard earned dollars in the best ways.  A few weeks ago, we went to the Apple store and had to upgrade my husband's cell phone.  While we were there, the guy told us that our plan had to be changed and we NO LONGER had an unlimted data plan. (WHAT?!?!)  We NEED unlimited Plans...we need the BEST … [Read more...]

Have you read the NY Post article, "Rich Manhattan moms hire handicapped tour guides so kids can cut lines at Disney World"? Seems to be the talk of the town...

The premise behind this article is that some wealthy Manhattan moms have figured out how to jump the long lines at Disney World.  They have been discovered hiring disabled people to pose as family members so their families can get to … [Read more...]
