Starting to Save

Kellogg’s just announced a recall on some of their cereal. Check out Savings with Shellie for the details.
I bought a TON of this stuff, I wonder if any of mine will end up on the list.

Over the last few days I have been working on one of the projects I mentioned in this post. We have a playroom filled with toys. Rarely is there a time when you  enter the room and don’t trip over one of our 3 kid’s “projects” and while on penalty of death my children have [...]

I got my new kit recently, this one for got2b hair products. 

Sorry for the photo quality, I’m still relegated to using my iphone camera instead of a real one these days.

I just joined this shopping club called Beyond The Rack. On their site you can find designer items up to 70% off.  I’m not sure how much I’ll actually be using it, but anywhere you have the option to save money is a good place in my book :) 
It’s by invitation only, so if [...]

Well I finally broke out my never before used (or even really looked at) sewing machine. I’ve been surrounded by smart, crafty creative women who sew very cool things and well peer pressure is a powerful thing.  With my first project completed, I’ve decided that this would be a good thing to add to my [...]
