Bunch of farmers stain stick review!!!



Okay SO,

If you have kids, you have stains obviously. I normally use the oxiclean spray which works just fine but recently i saw these all natural biodegradable stain sticks so since i always try to go for more "natural" things when it comes to my girls I bought some, and they are AWESOME.. Its this weird stick that you get wet and rub directly on the stain, throw it in the washer and then the stain is gone. Ive heard nothing but good things about these especially for the cloth diapering mammas out there.

you can buy them on amazon ---> link  bunch of farmers

they look like this and they last months!!

white girl makes tortillas


okay SO,


Have you ever wanted to make something that you buy all the time and you think "oh this is probably so easy to make i should just make my own"? For me that was tortillas, I buy them every week because well i love tacos and so does everyone else in my house. So I found a recipe awhile ago and have been wanting to try it so i did today and let me pre-warn everyone... If you are looking for beautifully round mission like flour tortillas...turn away now because mine are far from pretty and round, they look more like shadows of zoo animals, and i am completely okay with that for 2 reasons #1.they still taste really good. & #2 they make for awesome dinner conversation ("hey mom my tortilla looks like an angry bird") 

Flour tortilla recipe


(makes..depends on how big your balls are)

*8c. flour
1 1/2 c vegetable oil
1tablespoon baking powder
2teaspoons salt (i used a bit more)
1 1/2c. warm water

1.mix all dry ingredients in a bowl
2.add oil and water, start mixing (i used a fork and folded it all into itself)
3.once you have most of the dry mix firm and in a glob, take it out of the bowl & kneed it on a flat surface
4. break off golf ball size pieces and let them rest under a damp paper towel for 30 mins
(i put mine on wax paper)
5. roll them flat with a rolling pin..like as flat as you can get them without tearing them
6.heat a flat griddle (or i guess you could do one at a time in a frying pan) spray it with non stick spray. cook them on each side for about 1 minute 

I guess I could have rolled them out to make sure they were all round and stuff or even used a pizza cutter to make them look better...but aint nobody got time for that with 3 kids ;)

so now you will have a bunch of homemade tortillas that you know exactly what was put in them (for all the health conscious folks) & they freeze really well too! 


(told you they were ugly)

enjoy!

Coupon app's if you don't have them. GET THEM



There are so many couponing apps out there that no one else because we'll they aren't very well advertised so basically all this free money that no ones claiming. so here a list of the apps that I have on my phone 


#1. Target cartwheel app. This is my FAVVVVVE ever!! Obviously its only for target but they put out awesome offers all the time and you can save on so much stuff from milk to condoms! Offers change all the time. Sometimes they have super cool ones like "One day only save 40% on all kids shoes"! so check it often, you add your rewards to "my cartwheel" and after the cashier rings up all your stuff you pull it up on your phone and they scan it right there *boom* you just saved $6 for being on your phone which most people do all the time anyways!

#2. Ibotta. This app you pick the store you'll be shopping at and watch little videos or learn facts for stuff and you earn the rewards, once you go shopping and buy the items on your ibotta you go to the app to redeem them! Basically, scan the products bar code, upload a picture of your receipt and then they'll approve it and put the money in your ibotta account. Once you have $5 or more you can transfer it over to your paypal or get giftcards for places like starbucks,whole foods and itunes! Totally worth it if your buying the items anyways right? PS.if you do sign up for ibotta go through my link kieras ibotta !

#3.checkout51. Just like ibotta, but instead of being deals for different stores, its just deals on stuff. like .60c off kens dressing, or .50c back on a gallon of milk. All you do is upload your receipt!

#4. shopkick. You get points just for walking into certain stores, points you can use to buy gift cards. yes points for JUST walking in the store 

#5. Target mobile coupons. text offers to 827438 . they literally text the coupons right to your phone, it really cant get any more simple than that

everyone should also know of course 

coupons.com
target coupons
smartsource coupons
red plum coupons
Hopster coupons

(all printable coupon websites!!)

everyone loves free stuff 

fun fact for target-


Did you know if you have a manufacturer coupon for lets say  $1/1 lucky charms cereal 
and target.com or target mobile coupons also has a TARGET coupon for $.50/1 lucky charms cereal
and the target cartwheel app has 5% off any lucky charms cereal

YOU CAN USE ALL 3!!!

1-manufacturer 
1-target coupon
1-cartwheel offer

can all be used for the same product

ahh target, how I love you.

I gave up shopping at walmart awhile ago, because well lets be honest.. #1. walmart is gross and #2. the coupon policy SUCKS.  #3 target will price match walmart. yep *mind blown* and #4 if you have a target card (they have a credit and debit card available) you get 5% off everyday and FREE SHIPPING on target.com !!

I feel like I said target a lot in this post but im sorry...I just love target ...target target target=)

2. Season your chicken (I only do one side)
3. mix your pepper jack,spinach and cream cheese in a bowl until well combined
4. using a spoon spread cheese mixture on each pounded chicken until it looks covered enough to your standards

My 6/29 walgreens trip!

Hello,

So like I said id be posting some awesome walgreens deals here for ya'll so let me just start with a couple things. 

#1.You need a walgreens reward's card (its free to get just go into your local store and sign up for one)
#2.Transaction limits on FREE stuff vary by store, its best to call and ask before you go in (i normally limit myself to 5 since there is 5 people in my family)
#3.You will need access to a printer WITH ink lol, yes you cannot print coupons without ink.
#4.a little bit of hip lingo if I say RR i mean register reward (which is a little printed off coupon you get when you buy qualifying items
#5. RR's print out for each SEPARATE item. so if i'm buying a toothbrush that gives me $1RR and a coke that gives me $1RR you will get 2 different print out's 
#6.there is a 1 RR limit per transaction!! SO if you want to buy 3 of the same thing and get the RR's every time you need to do 3 separate transactions (note my #2 on your stores limit for transactions)
and lastly and probably most confusing but ill try to explain it the way i would to my husband 
#7-Say your buying 5 different items ,4 of those items you have coupons for and you want to pay using your 2 RR's that were printed out after your last transaction, you would have to purchase what people call (a filler item) basically you can only have ONE paper per item (paper meaning coupon or RR) so if your buying 5 things and want to use 6 papers, your gonna need one more thing since you have to have one item per paper. (this is really the most confusing thing i promise lol)


Every week various people put out "ad previews" which is basically seeing a stores ad before it comes in the paper on sunday..speaking of paper on sunday GET ONE, its cheaper to have it delivered every sunday than it is to go to the store and buy one SO sign up with whatever your local paper may be! you only need sundays since thats the one with weekly coupons! ANYHOO back to what i was saying "ad previews" will be all over the internet about (wednesday) every week. I go between diffrent ones depending on who has the best picture that i can actually read lol so this week 

its this one (iheartwags) - so feel free to click on that and check out the ad for yourself to see if there is any other deals that I'm not particularly interested in but you might be.

Hi,

SO..this is my first blog ever..we'll not ever if you count having an xanga account when i was like 13, so I guess I should say this is my first blog ever as an adult? lol I'll try to make it all fancy and nice to look at over time but for now..default settings it is ;)  SO basically i've had a ton of people interested in couponing trips i've made, crafts i've done, stuff I cook, I've had a lot of people ask me for advice on motherhood and how to handle certain situations without completely wanting to kill yourself while being a stay at home mom of 3 kids who well...are cute but REALLLLLY annoying sometimes. So thats what this whole little thing's gonna be about, and of course if anyone has any questions or requests I'll do my best to answer all of those. Ill be posting up some awesome walgreens deals here in a few minutes that start 6/29 so make sure you have your printer ink and pen&paper ready ;)
