Layaway is Back at Walmart!
Personally I hate to rush the holiday season-I really enjoy taking each one as it comes and savoring it rather than rushing through to be on to the next. But when you’ve got a budget to think about and a family to craft, DIY and shop for it actually is NOT too early to start… Keep Reading
Review: Mrs Meyers
A few weeks ago Walmart sent me some of the Mrs Meyers Clean Day Aromatherepeudic products to try. I’ve used Mrs Meyers hand soap before–I really enjoy the lovely scents and the fact that all their products are earth friendly as well: FOR GENERATIONS we’ve had to put up with harsh chemical smells to get… Keep Reading

Steak with Bacon Blue Cheese Butter for Labor Day!
When you think “great steak” do you think Walmart”? Yeah. I didn’t either. But Walmart asked me to try their Premium Beef and create a Labor Day BBQ-so I figured what the heck. You see, Walmart knew that folks were not impressed with their steak selection, and they decided to make a change. They took… Keep Reading
Trying something new: Plantains!
I like trying new things in the kitchen-so this latest project from Walmart was especially fun for me! Have you ever tried Plantains? Plantians look like bananas, but don’t be fooled~and don’t try to eat them raw. These interesting vegetables are high in vitamins A & C and have 4G of fiber per servings. Not… Keep Reading

Walmart Challenge: Strawberry Cream S’mores
Who doesn’t like S’mores? Hot gooey marshmallows. Melting chocolate. The crunch of a graham cracker. Mmmmm.

Something pin-able 😉 Now I’m quite familiar with all… Keep Reading
