Pearly Whites

I hate going to the dentist. My kids have no fear, even though each has had a tiny cavity or two. I blame all the gummy vitamins and sugar, but in all honesty, my kids have really "groovy" teeth.  Since getting battery operated toothbrushes they have cut down significantly on dental issues because, well, they just work better!  That moving brush can clean a lot faster and better than you can with your hand.  Well, I was giving them new toothbrushes every 3-4 weeks and at $5 each (on sale) it was starting to get a bit ridiculous.  Changing batteries, having the heads chewed up (yes, they're kids!) and everything else was getting ridiculous.  And then I found these!  Dentist recommended, rechargeable with removable heads, and just a little bit more than the battery operated ones. 




My kids absolutely love their new toothbrushes and I know they're brushing the full 2 minutes with the buzzing sound it makes at the end.  And guys, they make off-brand heads to replace them when they're done and they're a FRACTION of the cost.  My kids can't tell the difference, so I'm thrilled with our new purchases and so are the kids!  Even the dentist is thrilled!  Can't go wrong with that!

Ways to Save Money by doing what you're doing....

Since moving, money has been tight.  We've had new needs in our new home to set it up and make it work, on top of lots of unexpected fixes that our lovely home inspector "overlooked".  Hubby works even more hours for the same salary pay.  I still carry on multiple part time jobs from home when I can.  We found out the house is in need of a big project that is a bit outside of the emergency fund at this point, so we're doing what we can to save for that one day soon when that big purchase will be made.  With the kids in school, I've been searching for ways to save even more money.  Coupons are not as helpful in this area - even with most stores doubling up to 75 cents.  Sale prices are even double of what I used to pay at Kroger on a great sale.  I've found myself shopping a lot at Costco & Sam's Club and filling in at Aldi.  So I'm going back to my old standby ways of saving money, like I did when the kids were small and the diaper prices...

Fall is here!

Guys...it's COLD outside!  The leaves are falling in all colors and the chill in the air means football watching is more enjoyable and our hoodies feel much more comfortable. Have I mentioned boots?  Oh, I love boot season!  So, in celebration of it finally FEELING like fall, I thought I would list my top 10 fall things and see what some of my readers think are must-have or must-do for fall! 1. PUMPKINS.  Pumpkin everything.  Pie, muffins, anything baked.  I have a pumpkin muffin recipe and I add chocolate chips, because, well, chocolate is amazing! 2. GOOD EARTH TEA: Forget the pumpkin spice latte or whatever y'all spend too much money on.  This TEA is amazing.  It tastes like fall to me and I only drink it September through December, as weather allows.  No milk or sugar needed, it's perfect as is. 3. SOUP: I promise, not everything is about food, but this is the time of year to fatten up to keep warm for winter :) Chicken tor...

Schedules & how they work

I promised a post last week on how we do schedules around here.  I have to make things simple and not just for myself but for my family. As much as I look at these people online who do the fancy journals with to-do lists and wish I had the time, talent or ability to do all of that, I have to keep it within my reach.  And my husband's!  So what we have set up is Google calendar.  I have a calendar.  Travis has a calendar.  We "share" our calendars with each other and we have our individual colors so we know who has added that event to the calendar. This helps SO much because if we wanted to plan something like a girls' night out or guys' night out, we can just look at the calendar before we talk about it.  As the kids get older, they'll get their own calendars too.  We just aren't on opposite schedules yet - they have basketball together, piano lessons for Maddy just mean that Lucy's with me...  I tried sharing with my parents because I do...
