More Affordable Organics!

April 19, 2014 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate Leave a Comment

The more I learn, the more I think that eating organically is the best choice for my family.  That’s why I garden organically and purchase locally raised meat in bulk.  I’d love to be able to go completely organic, but regrettably cost is, as with many things, a factor.  That’s why I was so excited… Keep Reading

Have you seen the new Plastic Decorating Eggs at Walmart this year?  These are one piece plastic eggs that look like real eggs, and can be decorated just like real eggs.  So you don’t have to worry about boiling them, having any crack, or losing an egg somewhere in the living room and only finding… Keep Reading

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

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

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

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
