A Review of Greased Lightning Cleaner

25. January 2012

I just LOVE my new cast iron sink! But the thing stains SO easily and it’s such a pain to clean. So when the dudes from Greased Lightning took pity on me and offered to send me a free bottle of their cleanser, I jumped at the chance. See how pitiful my sink is. Be [...]

Damart Thermolactyl vs. Old Man Winter

24. January 2012

0 Comments

That isn’t the name of a new Godzilla movie, as cool as it would be. Thermolactyl is a fiber, for a type of ladies and mens thermal underwear. Today, I am reminded of Damart’s thermolactyl on Upstate New York’s traditionally coldest day of the year. My oldest son just informed me that he’s outgrown his [...]

Have You Tried Nopalea?

14. January 2012

I’m always interested in healthy new drinks. I have tried the raw meal green powder drink stuff that is packed with vitamins and minerals and pink elephants and stuff… but honestly the drink tastes horrible. I couldn’t drink it anymore. There’s a new healthy drink out, called Nopalea. It comes from the Nopal cactus and, [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Have you noticed it yet? Have you been to Walgreens to pick up a prescription only to discover that your Express Script benefits no longer work there? The reason is failed negotiation. Express Scripts basically “wrote [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Bulbs. Dig, Drop, Done. for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. That would be me. Oh, I can tie my shoes. And whip up a meal for 10. But when it comes to gardening, my skills are limited. My time is even more limited. [...]

Zenni Optical Goes High Tech

10. January 2012

0 Comments

Have you ever taken a really close look at the iPhone or those high-tech screen protectors? I have. No matter how much I handle my phone, the screen display really doesn’t get dirtied with fingerprints. I figured maybe the reason was because the iPhone is made of glass, but that’s not it at all. It’s [...]

A Review of the New Febreze Car Vent Clip

Anybody remember those wacky pine-tree shaped “air fresheners” from the 70s? My parents hung them in the car, and man did they stink. Oh they did what they were intended to do– mask the smell of 6 stinky teenagers crammed into a summer of ’76 station wagon. The “pine” scent wasn’t too bad (the scent [...]

Designer Eyeglasses Online!

After my recent success with buying glasses online, I’ve been shopping around and looking for eye glass frames for men for my husband and sons. I don’t think I am ever, ever going to the retail optician again, lol. My glasses alone cost me two-thirds less than the typical retail price. My sons, who have [...]

Too Much Stuff

2. January 2012

I never, ever in a million years thought I’d ever have to consider something like this: Uncle Bob’s Self Storage. Before I had kids — and even when the kids were small — we just never had a whole lot of “stuff.” Moving from apartment to apartment was easy- -just pack up the two, three [...]

I’m Rebecca

:) I’m a married mom of four teenage children. We live in Upstate New York in a soon-to-be-renovated 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?!

Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side. I love saving money, spending money, gadgets, funny stories, and coffee- lots and lotsofcoffee!! I'm a Christian and I love the good life God has given me! :D You can read all the juicy details about me here. Thanks for visiting!
