HEXBUG Nano Easter Egg Party

Posted on | May 19, 2011 | No Comments

I was lucky enough to be chosen to have a HEXBUG Nano Easter Egg party (thanks to BSM Media for supplying the HEXBUGS).  If you haven’t heard of them yet, HEXBUG Nano’s are small, really cute little motorized bugs that bounce all around.  I am definitely a huge fan of HEXBUGS, the kids love to play with them and they are super small, so storage is really easy.  Even the play sets break down and fit together to take up the least amount of storage space, and I am all about the storage issues.

We had our little party a few weekends ago, with a bunch of kids between the ages of 2 – 12 trying the toys.  They all had a blast.  The two year old was a little small, and while she got such a kick out of the bugs and had a lot of laughs, I wouldn’t let her play with them unsupervised.  As for the rest of the kids (age 5-12) they all loved them and had a great time.

I really thought this would be all about the boys.  I figured the girls would get bored and move on to something else quickly, but they didn’t.  Even the older girls who were 12 had a lot of fun playing.  They made up games and played off and on all day.  When asked, every kid there said that they would love to get more HEXBUGS as a gift and that they would be cool to give as a gift if they had a party to go to.  This is the second HEXBUG party that I have done and there is not one bad thing that I can think of to say.  The whole experience was extremely positive, and I know at least one of the moms there has spread the HEXBUG love by buying them as gifts.

Prices are climbing

Posted on | April 9, 2011 | 1 Comment

I can’t believe how much and how fast prices are rising.  The cheapest I could find gas in my area this morning was $3.73, and that’s a bargain compared to some of my friends in N.Y. who are paying $5.17 a gallon in some areas.  But it’s not just the gas.  I spent about $20.00 more this week on items that I buy all the time.  Some of the items that I found have really gone up are milk, butter, snacks for the kids like granola bars and meats. 

With things getting worse by the day I’m really getting concerned where this will stop.  While we are doing fine now, the truth is there isn’t much more we could cut back on and live normally if anything were to happen.  I really feel bad for the people who are busting their butts to make ends meet yet are constantly faced with more hardships like rising prices.  Last year, with the kids getting bigger and needing more things, I upped our weekly budget to $150.00, but I think we are going to pull back and try to do $100 a week  again.  What I wouldn’t give for a grocery store that has double or triple coupons!

Extreme couponing

Posted on | April 6, 2011 | No Comments

I just watched some of the new Extreme Couponing show and I feel like a total failure.  Did anyone else watch it?  I warned you the other day that what these women do is not realistic for most people and you shouldn’t get discouraged, but I’m finding it hard to take my own advice!  One lady just got about $1,200 worth of groceries and other items for $103 (give or take a few cents).  That is insane!  It took her 2 hours just to check out and she used more coupons then I’ve ever seen.  She had 40 boxes of cereal and used 40 coupons and that was just the tip of the iceberg.  Now I’m really annoyed that I’ve been slacking on my use of coupons.  I’m going to have to get a few great deals this weekend to feel like I’m back in the game.
