     I recently got the opportunity, via tomoson.com, to try some car decals from Vinyl Disorder. I was asked to select one of their family kits for review, so just for fun, we went with the ATAT's, being the "Star Wars nerds" we are. :-)

     Vinyl Disorder has these great family car decals. There are several themed family kits with sports, hobbies, feet and other fun symbols. You can also get the traditional "stick fugure" families. You can even get custom car decals. 
     Besides the car decals, Vinyl Disorder has all kinds of room decorating kits, wall quotes, and funky art to dress up any room. They also have glow-in-the-dark wall stickers and custom design T-shirts.

Lovin' the Weekend Blog Hops



Note from An Ordinary Housewife: I'm super excited I got selected to be a co-host for this hop. And I hope my blogging friends will join us as we link up and spread the love! And remember--leave me a note letting me know you followed from this hop and I'll follow back! I gotta know who you are, though, and have a way of finding you! So leave your blog url and FB/twitter.pinterest/G+ handles (however you decide to follow) in a blog post comment. I look forward to getting to know you all!
 
 
Welcome to Lovin' The Weekend Blog Hops with your co-hosts:

Thank you to every one who has stopped by, whether this is your first visit or you have been a faithful ongoing participant!

We would love for you to stop by each of the co-hosts and follow us, then feel free to add your links to any or all of the following linkies.

 We also randomly choose a Featured host each week from the Lovin' The Readers linky. This week we are featuring Chrissy from How We Learn at Home.


Here's what she has to say:
"Hi!  I am Chrissy, mama to two girls born 19 months apart and wife to a busy traveling executive. Junebug is just about 3 & 1/2 and Snowflake will turn two in February.  I started blogging about a year ago so I could log all the fun activities we were doing at home. It turned into a passion of creating fun and interesting ways for my girls to learn.  I mainly blog about kid friendly activities including crafts, how we are preparing to homeschool and recipes. I recently opened an Etsy shop so I could share some of our favorite activities with others.  
Thank you for reading this!  I hope you stop by my blog soon and leave a comment if you do!"

Don't forget to link up to the Lovin' the Readers Hop if you would like a chance to be a Featured host next week. Please comment with a way to contact you, especially if there is not an obvious way mentioned on your blog. We would love to include a little write up about you and your blog in the next week's Lovin' The Weekend Blog Hop post, including a link to your blog. And you will get to include the linky codes on your blog. Sound fun? We're looking forward to getting to know our readers better.


Here's how this blog hop works. We would appreciate it if you would follow Tots and Me, Adventures of a Mommy Homemaker and An Ordinary Housewife then please head on over to our Featured Host and follow as well. If you no longer have GFC please follow in some other way. After that there are three different linkies you can link to. Whichever one you choose to link to, please grab that button and share it on your blog (the codes are on Tot's and Me's sidebar). We'd love it if you could tweet or in some other way share about this blog hop, the more people who know about it, the more potential visitors and new followers of your blog. We'd love to meet some new friends this weekend.  

Some people are more interested in just increasing their numbers, while others really want people who appreciate their blog and want to keep up with their posts. So, there are two separate linkies. The third linky is for you to link up your giveaways.

     I remember when I was growing up how much homemade gifts meant to my mom. I don't know if you feel the same way, but I can understand where she was coming from. In fact, I know she still feels the same way. A gift made specifically for a loved one is made from the heart. Our children LOVE to make things for us all the time and we accept them with such enthusiasm, because we know they were made out of love.
     It is so easy to go to the store and pick out gifts for those on our list and  I realize it takes time to make a gift.   But, I hope you will think about helping your children make this special gift for the special people in their lives. We are making these photo frames for both my mom and hubby's parents because I feel they make great gifts for grandparents. I know my mom will love to have the little ones make one of these for her because she still has the frame the older children made for her 11 years ago.


Please stop by Tots and Me to find out how to make this Christmas Puzzle Frame. While you're there enter to win today's giveaway!

Thrifty thursday: Are Warehouse Stores Wearing Out Your Wallet? (guest post)

     Here is another great post from the ladies at Living on a Dime. This post is kinda funny, but also kind of eye-opening. And it pretty well sums up my frustrations with warehouse stores...

Are Warehouse Stores Wearing Out Your Wallet?

Do they save you money or just create more work?
by Jill Cooper
http://www.livingonadime.com/
It's Saturday morning. With grocery list in hand, you drag a very unwilling family out to the car where you proceed to take them on a mega shopping spree at Sam's or Costco.
Marching down each isle you tell your family members "We need 3 cases of corn, 4 cases of green beans and -- Oh! That's a good deal on peanut butter so let's get 3 gallons. Of course Susie, your can get a bag of cookies. They are so cheap! ...and Billy you can have a few bags of your favorite chips! Yum! Oh look -- samples! These taste great. Let's get some! What a great buy on chicken - we need 20..."
At the dog food aisle the excitement mounts as each member of the family grabs a corner of the 50 lb. bag of dog food to stack on top of the basket. (We won't mention you only have 1 toy poodle at home.) After waiting in line and waiting in line and waiting in line you push your agonizingly heavy and overloaded baskets out to the car. Getting everything into the trunk of the car makes putting together a 1,000 piece puzzle seem like a breeze but, finally, home you go.
After you lug everything into the house, it's time to spend the next few hours repackaging things for the freezer. You double wrap your 20 chickens (they could be in that freezer for quite a while) and frantically try to find places for everything else in your cupboards and pantry. By the time you are done, you are so exhausted that you couldn't begin to lift a finger to cook, so you all go out to eat.
A few weeks later you gingerly sniff the gallon of half used peanut butter as you try to decide if that strange taste is because it has gone rancid or simply because you are sick of peanut butter. You threw out that partially used gallon of maple syrup yesterday because it had sugared and was looking really strange. You still have ten of your chickens left but if you bathe them in some spicy sauce you are pretty sure your family won't notice the freezer burned taste. In spite of having to throw out most of the 50 lbs. of dog food (after a growing family of mice had invaded it), you're sure you saved money because "they" said you would.
People constantly ask me, "Can you really save more money at warehouse stores?" I usually answer, "Not any more so than at other stores." I have checked prices at various stores on many different occasions and factoring everything in, I haven't found any exceptional savings at warehouse stores.
 Here are some tips to help you decide if a warehouse store is for you:
  1. Do your homework and compare prices. Buying in bulk is not always cheaper. You can really save by checking and comparing prices. I was at Costco one day where there was a display of two Clorox one gallon bottles for $1.98 AFTER rebate. I stood there amazed as people frantically grabbed this "great deal." I knew I could get that same Clorox for $.98 a gallon at my regular discount store and I didn't have to mess with a rebate, pay postage or lug two gallons of Clorox shrink wrapped together to my car.
  2. Don't buy impulsively just because it sounds like a good deal. Say you can get 12 bottles of sunscreen for a great price. Think it through before you buy. If your family only uses one bottle of sunscreen a year, that means you will be storing sunscreen for 12 years, not to mention that most of the sunscreen will expire long before then.
  3. In most homes, one quarter of the food people buy gets thrown away. If your family of four eats pancakes once a week, that gallon of syrup is going to last you a VERY long time. You might also consider that unless dry goods and freezer items are very carefully stored, they will go bad or get bugs in them. Remember to buy the size that is appropriate for you.
  4. You need to be very well organized to buy in bulk. Finding places to store everything and then carefully keeping track of what you have is critical if you want to use it all before it spoils.
  5. Most people usually spend more than they originally planned on things they don't need. This never saves money. We taste samples and so often end up buying. If this is you, be careful. Maybe sampling is a bad idea (unless you're making lunch of it)!
If you have ten kids, run a day care or are buying for an organization then you almost have to buy in bulk. If you have a small or average sized family, you will probably save as much shopping for sales at your regular grocery store or discount store. The key is to do the math and evaluate your practical needs. You have to decide for yourself if buying at warehouse stores actually saves you money or just creates more work.

Weight Loss Wednesday: Krill Oil Review and #Giveaway




     Did you know getting a sufficient amount of omega-3's can boost your metabolism? Which, of course, burns fat and can potentially help you lose weight. Fish oil is great source of omega'3's, but appearantly, Krill oil is even better.
     So, when Everest Nutrition asked me to review their krill oil capsules, I really couldn't say no. I had read about the benefits of krill oil and weight loss before this, so the idea of using krill oil was not new to me.
     The benefits of krill oil don't end with potential weight loss. Research has also shown krill oil to help lower cholesterol and blood pressure, helps stiff joints, pms and cardiovasuclar issues, balances blood sugar and improves brain health and energy levels.
     Everest Nutrition extracts their krill oil from krill living in the antartic, which guarantees they are free of impurities. The krill are cold-pressed there on the ship, so most of the nutrients are retained. Everest Nutrition is the only krill manufacturer to do this. To read their complete list of FAQ's, go here.
     Krill oil is a little on the pricey side, but this is with all brands. Just consider it an investment in your health!

*These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. Consult with a physician if you are unsure of whether this product is for you.
*Warning: If you are alergic to shellfish, you should not take krill oil, as it is a crustacean.
*I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Traditions evoke feelings of nostalgia.

I'd like to share with you some of our family traditions...even a few new ones.
