Anniversary, Sewing Expo and other things

general, Uncategorized
This week is a busy week for me.  My daughter was diagnosed with a double ear infection.  She is feeling a lot better. Good news is, it's the Sewing Expo this week!  Woohoo!   Yesterday, I learned about the serger and how to create some beautiful stitches with it.  I also learned about fusible web.  I've worked with fusible stabalizers but haven't tried the fusible web before.  It is great because it doesn't melt as quickly as other brands do. Plus, this weekend is my anniversary weekend! 7 years ago I married the most wonderful gentleman in the world.  I'm so blessed to have him in my life,  he loves, cares, and supports me and our little girl.  I love him always and forever. Besides, he uses coupons when going shopping!  …

How to get a great price on contact lenses!

Coupons, general, Health, Online Deals, Shopping deals, Uncategorized
I've been wearing contact lenses for a long time.  Thinking about it, I've been wearing them for 16 years!  That's a long time.  Besides contacts are expensive.  I've spent a lot on contacts when you add it up.  This year I found a great deal for contacts.   If you have a Health Savings Plan (HSP) or Federal Spending Account (FSA) make sure you use that to save even more. Acuvue Oasys contact lens are only $24.15 per box!  That is cheaper than 1-800-contacts and Sam's Club.  You can get 5% back  when you buy via ebates.   In addition, there is a rebate available on Acuvue's website, if you are a new wearer of Oasys you can get $100 back rebate (visa card) after buying 8 boxes or as a regular…

What’s your Laundry Schedule? and What do you use to clean your clothes?

Baby, general, Recipes, Uncategorized
How do you do your laundry? Do you do it all at once? Do you take your time and a do a load once a day?  Leave me a comment with your thoughts. I've had this problem for sometime now. Since I work full-time, I rush around the house in the morning to get the baby, husband and myself out the door. I sometimes throw in a load of laundry into the washer and take a load out of the dryer and put it into a basket for later folding or hanging. Recently, I got into a routine to start a load in the morning and when I get home I put a load away and put the load in the dryer.  I feel it is a lot easier to…
