Just add sandals and your ready for the summer! I was very excited when I found out I was able to review Fresh Produce clothing! I’ve heard many good things about them.
My review is for this Catalina Pintuck Tank Dress. The color of dress in this picture is “Peri”. BUT, there numerous colors to choose from depending on size. Speaking of size – this dress ranges from an XS to XL. According to the Fresh Produce’s site….This dress is 92% rayon & 8% Lycra. The dress has wide straps to hide your unmentionables. The dress is free flowing and is able to accommodate a tank top underneath if desired.
My Review of the Catalina Pintuck Tank Dress:
I got my dress in Oyster, it’s kinda gray – blueish. The instant I put the dress on, it felt like a comfy t-shirt. The material is very soft and free flowing. It’s breathable, not the type of dress that’s not going to stick to you in the hot weather. The dress is perfect for anywhere. If you put on flop-flops your ready for the beach or run errands. If you put on sandals and some jewelry with a shawl, your ready for an evening out. I love it! I plan I buying more pieces from Fresh Produce. Here’s a picture of me in my dress. I didn’t have my photographer or hair & make up crew here today to help me with my picture. Ha…Ha…Ha….

Don’t pay full price!!! Kids grow in leaps and bounds, why pay full price when they just grow out of them within a few months?! I found this site this morning http://kidsconsignmentsales.com/. You choose your state and it gives the current sales coming up! In fact, I thought I knew about all the sales in my area. Low and behold, there’s another one, really close to my home. There are lots of sale starting soon for spring & summer clothes. I’m heading to one this afternoon! I love these types of sales and I hope you can get some good buys in your area too!
Come sing the jingle with me. I know you’ve heard it….
and a 1….. and a 2……
“It’s a Pillow, it’s a Pet… It’s a Pillow Pet!”
When Jennifer Telfer observed her sons crunching up their stuffed animals to make pillow out of them, Pillow Pets was born.
Most little kids have a special friend that goes EVERYWHERE with them. The Pillow Pet does double duty. BONUS for me – less to carry. These snugly creatures are very soft and have Velcro under their belly. They also have a flap to cover the sticky part of the Velcro. What began as only 6 Pillow Pets is now a huge line, including Farm, Zoo, Ocean, Fantasy, Sports, Specialty and Disney. Coppins Gifts has a large variety to offer.
My Review:
Sir Horse joined our family and he is very much loved by my daughter. He has gone from the grocery store to the couch. Much to my daughters dismay – the other day she found her Daddy taking a nap on Sir Horse. So, it’s a great product even for adults! I really like the flap to cover the Velcro, it keeps the Velcro clean and it doesn’t catch on everything. Go and buy your kids a Pillow Pet. Or tell the Easter Bunny to bring one as Easter is coming!!

How cute are these little guys! And VERY tasty too!
Swiss creme covers these wonderful little bugs of goodness. With their centers made of light and airy chocolate truffle. These Lady Bugs are delightfully decorated and almost hard to eat (key word ALMOST).
The Swiss Colony website offers may choices in addition to these adorable Lady Bugs! Easter’s Coming!!! 
My Review:
Funny story first. I have a 3 year old little girl, who was very upset that I was eating “bugs”. She learned very quickly, that these “bugs” were very good.
These Swiss Colony Lady Bug Truffles are wonderful! I really enjoy chocolate and these made me close my eyes and enjoy the smoothness and flavor. I recommend The Swiss Colony! With Easter coming, now is a great time to order Lady Bugs! Not only are they very good, but they are a conversation piece! Add them to your Easter Table as decoration then eat them! Decoration and Dessert! Below is a picture of my box! Maybe the Easter Bunny will bring me some more!

Turn your water into soda with SodaStream! This a great concept, and it is very healthy for the environment!
So, how does it work? Glad you asked. If you purchase a SodaStream online, it will be delivered with a caution of hazardous material papers. It’s the Carbon Dioxide used to Carbonate the soda. Assembly is required, however it is very easy. Then end up looking something like this….
Next, you will need to take your reusable carbonating bottle, and fill it with water to the fill line (basically the the entire bottle). Put the cap on and put it in the fridge to chill (cold water holds a better carbonation). Once your bottle of water is chilled, take the cap off and tilt the bottle slightly and screw into the SodaStream system.
Pick out your flavor and read the back of the bottle. Check for the number of “buzzes”, most flavors require 3 “buzzes”. However, the cola required 5 “buzzes”. So, make your appropriate “buzzes” and remove your now carbonated water bottle. It will hiss like opening a soda. Then, according to the directions on the back of the bottle. Fill a cap full of soda and pour it into your carbonated water. My recommendation is to do it over the sink, less messy if you miss the bottle. Put the cap back on the bottle and shake slightly to mix.
Then ENJOY! Pictured is Cranberry/Raspberry flavor.
Flavors and Machines
There are 7 different machines to choose from and on the SodaStream site there’s a tool to help you choose which machine fits you best.
You’ll also need to replace the carbonator at some point (not sure yet how long it will last and I didn’t see in the directions or online how long they last, sorry.) SodaStream does suggest to keep an extra around for when yours runs out.
There’s a flavor for everyone! Choose from over 50 flavors in regular, diet, energy, sparkling naturals, sparkling teas, and MyWater Essence flavors.
Each 16.9 ounce of syrup adds up to about 33 – 12 ounces cans of soda! Let’s do some math. If you purchase a 16.9 ounce bottle of Cola from SodaStream which last look was $4.99 and that bottle produces 33 “cans” of soda. That’s a little over $.15 a “can” of SodaStream soda! Sounds like a great deal for me.
My Review -
I’m in love with the SodaStream! It’s fun and healthy for my whole family. Easy to assemble. Granted the machines can get pricey, but the cost of soda makes up for it in my book. My family and I reviewed 3 different kinds of sodas and 1 tea.
Cola – It’s good, it has a “diet” soda taste to it. I hope I’m explaining that okay. Don’t expect it to taste like the big brand colas in the store. We will be buying that one again.
Cranberry / Raspberry - My daughter wanted the “Pink” soda, so this was our next flavor. We all really enjoyed it. It was refreshing and not overwhelming of either flavor. Yet another on our next shopping list.
Green Tea with Pomegranate Peach - My husband’s next choice. I know you all want an honest opinion. Not my favorite flavor, I think the peach made it really sweet and the pomegranate was overwhelming. Just my opinion, again.
Root Beer – When I first tasted it, I instantly thought Sarsaparilla! We had a special treat the other night of SodaStream Root Beer and vanilla ice cream. It was a hit, and will continue having SodaStream Root Beer Floats as a treat! Definitely on the next shopping list!
The initial start up will cost a little bit, but once you get going. I think you’ll make up the cost from buying those big name sodas.

The winter months are hard on the skin and our family is no different. Dry hands, face, elbows and even feet and legs get that scaly cracked skin. This winter my face has been so dry and I cannot figure out why. My husband’s hands have been extra dry and very rough, but he thinks that his frequent use of hand sanitizer may be at the root of his problem. Some of the younger children’s legs have been dry. We do not bathe as often during the winter so it is hard to pin point what is causing the dry skin. It has become my quest to find a solution.
We have tried numerous products and lotion, one has worked better than others but still leaves a greasy residue. That’s why when we were introduced to Dial™ NutriSkin™ I decided to try it. It is new and they are adding extra vitamins and nutrients to it therefore it appealed to me to see what it was like. I went to Walmart since they were having an in-store demo so I could try it before I bought the lotion. I have to be careful what I buy because so many of my children have sensitive skin.
Walmart did not have the full selection of Dial™ NutriSkin™ lotions or body wash. I was really looking forward to trying one of their fruity scented body washes, but they only had two and one was not very fruity smelling. In their lotion, I could only choose from 2 products: Shea Butter and Aloe. The demo lady had a third lotion on the demo table but I forgot to try it after the Aloe because I had so much Aloe on my hands! I liked both in regards to scent, but decided on the Aloe because it was on sale for $3 and the demo lady gave me a coupons for $1 off. I really liked that price compared to the $4 regular price and the $5 price of other brands. So far my hands are still very smooth and soft, not to mention good! My husband just put some on so time will tell Dial™ NutriSkin™ lotion will work for him.
My oldest daughter will be the final judge on this product since she has the most chemical sensitivities.
As a side note, I was talking to a friend this weekend who has eczema and psoriasis and she takes Vitamin D supplements and/or cod liver oil to combat it and it helps. She only does this during the winter months when she doesn’t get enough sunshine.

I have a tendency to procrastinate over taxes, but this year I have been working hard to do better. I have been sorting my receipts, gathering my mileage logs, adding up my different streams of income and comparing them to my 1099s, plus getting my checkbook and PayPal ledgers either updated or printed off. There is a lot to do to get ready for tax time. I kind of miss the days when I didn’t have to do anything, my husband just took care of it all. But alas those days are over.
Over a month ago, maybe even less, I organized my office. Now, in preparation for tax season my office has got disorganized because I have been going through files and receipts for each business. I am a paper person so there are usually piles of paper here and there. However, I like my desk to be mostly cleared when doing important paper work so I can keep track of everything.
Another thing I like to keep track of is my pens and pencils. I found a nifty little lamp last summer at the thrift store with compartments to keep things on my desk more organized. That’s where I keep pens, pencils, erasers and sticky notes, etc.
We use a lot of pencils between business and homeschooling. During tax season it’s nice to have sharpened pencils on hand, but I discovered that ours had bit the dust and had to buy a new one. Nothing like having tons of pencils in the house and nothing to sharpen them with! Talk about maddening. There were a few different ones to choose from, but I bought the X-ACTO Spira pencil sharpener because I had a coupon. You can even see photos of my shopping trip here.
By the way, the new sharpener works great! Probably won’t be able to keep the children away from it. If you would like to learn more about X-ACTO products, please consider the following pages:
