I can’t wait for this movie, it looks amazing! My husband and I always enjoy westerns, and with Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer this one should be lots of fun. Check out the trailer below.

If your dog could talk what would he or she say? My dog would definitely ask for food, just like the dog in this new ad for Dogswell Jerky Bars!
Prom on a Budget
May 17, 2013 By 14 Comments
I heard on the news last week that a Visa survey showed that the average cost of prom this year is $1139! My daughter Eleanor is attending her prom, and there is no way we are willing to spend anything like that for a one night dance! Eleanor is actually very frugal, and since she was paying for prom herself she was motivated to keep costs down. Her goal was to keep costs to around $200, and here is how it went!
Dress – This is one of the biggest expenses for girls. Luckily we learned on Facebook that a local church was having a prom dress giveaway, with hundreds of dresses donated by the local community. This is such a great idea, after all what are you going to do with the dress after prom? So we attended and had racks and racks of dresses to choose from. Eleanor wanted a blue dress, and we had more than 10 to choose from in her size.
MyAllergyTest Home Allergy Test Kit Review and Giveaway

I have had seasonal allergies since I was a kid. It always is worst in the spring, and I can expect quite a few days of watery eyes and a running nose. It seems to vary year to year how bad it gets, but it never goes away. One thing I have always wondered is what exactly is triggering my reaction?
Grilled Asparagus with Goat Cheese Recipe
May 13, 2013 By 6 Comments
This is a quick and easy side dish, combining asparagus with goat cheese for a perfect spring vegetable. I was planning to roast the asparagus, but then the hinges broke on my oven door, so I can’t cook anything in the oven right now! I decided to grill them instead, which is something I have never tried before, and it worked pretty well. I threaded the asparagus on bamboo skewers, so they wouldn’t slip down through the grates of the grill. You could just lay them crosswise on the grill, but my asparagus was a fairly skinny, so I figured a skewer would be easier.

There are times when speed is essential – especially when you are on the go. When we were on vacation in Boston last summer we were constantly using our phones to decide where to eat. I suppose we could have our itinerary all planned out, but we didn’t. So when the family got hungry we loved the convenience of being able to quickly pull up a map, figure out what restaurants were near, and quickly browse reviews. My teenage daughters are picky eaters, so this cut way down on complaints, because we were able to eliminate restaurants that wouldn’t work for them quickly, without going to the restaurant and asking to see a menu!

Child Hunger Ends Here – Help Make a Difference
May 10, 2013 By 10 Comments
It is quite common for my kids to look at our pantry and whine, “There is nothing in the house to eat.” Of course what they really mean is there are no potato chips left and they will have to pick a healthy snack, but for many kids in America hunger and lack of food is a reality. Child hunger in this country is an epidemic, and it is one that largely goes unnoticed. Estimates are that 17 million children in America suffer from food insecurity, which is an unbelievably huge number! That is about one in five American children, and in a country as rich as the United States that statistic is ridiculous and needs to be fixed!
