Easter Outfits

April 10, 2014 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate Leave a Comment

Do you dress your kids up for Easter?  I remember how much fun it was to put Princess in an adorable dress when she was a toddler and little girl–like playing dress up.  Now the kids are older, and I like them to look spiffy, but I don’t want to spend a fortune.  At 10… Keep Reading

Scent Your Home in Style with an Edison Wax Warmer (sponsored)

April 8, 2014 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate Leave a Comment

Are you familiar with wax warmers?  These nifty gizmos are like a scented candle–without the flame.  They use a lightbulb to gently warm a tray where you place scented wax cubes.  The heat gently releases the fragrance into your room–without worry about flame or fire. I haven’t really used a wax warmer before-as a migraine… Keep Reading

Springtime is Dog Walking Time! (sponsored)

April 7, 2014 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate Leave a Comment

I don’t walk my dog in the winter. I know, that sounds terrible–but our sidewalks are snowy and icy all winter, Summer (our dog) pulls, and I have sprained each of my ankles at least 6 or 7 times–so it’s not worth the risk.  When spring comes I don’t know who is more excited to… Keep Reading

March 31, 2014 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 2 Comments

Don’t you just love getting cards?  There is something about opening up your mailbox and finding a brightly colored envelope inside that just gives you a little burst of excitement.

Book Review: Blossom Street Brides by Debbie Macomber

March 29, 2014 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 2 Comments

I love to read.  My first love as a youth was science fiction and fantasy, but as an adult I often enjoy the escapism of a good romance novel.  It can’t just be any romance novel though-it’s got to be a GOOD romance novel. What’s a good romance novel?   As someone who has probably read,… Keep Reading

New Products from OxiClean! (#MC)

March 17, 2014 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 2 Comments

“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for OxiClean. I received three product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.” Laundry is my arch nemesis.  Really.  I have no idea how four people can accumulate so much laundry in so short a… Keep Reading

March 15, 2014 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 7 Comments

Who out there loves tank tops?  They are so comfortable and versatile.  Now I know many of you don’t think Walmart when you think fashion (although seriously–they have some super cute stuff for spring, maxi skirts, adorable tops. . .) but you really should give them a look.  When it comes to basics they can’t… Keep Reading

Egg Drop Soup

March 14, 2014 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 2 Comments

There are times in life when you just need a quick, easy, tasty and meatless meal.  Lent is one of those times, and Walmart asked the Walmart Moms to share a meatless meal that can be enjoyed in this season.  I’m sharing my recipe for homemade Egg Drop Soup. Yes, I know, Asian food doesn’t… Keep Reading

Looking for something to do over Spring Break with the kids?  Crafts are a go to boredom buster for the younger set–but what about that difficult pre-teen and teen age group?
