Progresso Soup Prize Pack | Giveaway (closed)

Hey guys, I have gotten another chance to work with MyBlogSpark to review a great product and this time around it is for the newly improved Progresso soups. I received a nice prize pack that came with one can of Chicken Tortilla Progresso Soup and one can of Light New England Clam Chowder Progresso soup, a spoon rest, soup can rack, and soup mug with matching spoon. I am a big clam chowder fan so I really wanted to try that variety first. I will say that honestly I prefer the original over the light but I added a little garlic and black pepper and was pretty pleased with the overall taste.

They offer Progresso® New World Recipes™, Progresso Light, Progresso Reduced Sodium, and Progresso High Fiber (just to name a few).

I'm allergic to clutter

I spent the weekend getting rid of things. I have been pushing things around here and there and finally got sick of it. I packed up my car trunk and parted with a whole lot of stuff. My kids had a HUGE zipper bag (the kind you get a king-sized comforter set in) filled with Christmas related stuffed animals. Now don't get me wrong, so many of them were so adorable and filled with memories but realistically I'm no hoarder. I keep a few things as memories but I donate most things. When you open up a bag of things that make you sneeze then you know it is time to let it go. It feels so good to see spaces open up and it truly feels like we are moving forward. Now I did come across 3 bags of baby clothes but I still have to sort through it. I had no problem getting rid of the 1 year and older stuff. There is just something so special about the baby stuff. I still believe in the "less is more" mentality.

My husband is just not right

Today was the most wonderful day of the year...Black Friday. I was so well prepared for this shopping extravaganza that everything was ironed, set out, alarm set, packed up and organized the night before. I took the bag that is pictured as my "purse" because it is super lightweight, compact and I could wear it on my back so my hands could be free to shop. When Dwayne saw me bring out my little cinch sac he said it looked like a shoplifter bag. WTH?? Wow, just when I thought I heard it all...The man said it looked like I was going to go out to steal. The girls told me it was a smart move and that it looked fine. Although Dwayne still did not care for me using it I did so anyway. I was at my final destination and we were waiting in line to pay. I asked Dwayne to grab a small toy train for William and he hands it to me. I had my shopping bag in my shoulder and my cinch sac slung around my arm so I could grab my shopping discount pass and wallet. I accidentally put the train in the wrong bag for a split second and your boy tried to bring me out in the store. He told me I was trying to lift the toy train. What a jerk! We laughed so hard and then headed to Chick-fil-A for some breakfast. Oh the adventures of Shelly and Dwayne are always so interesting....

Renuzit Adjustables Giveaway {closed}

Winners are #22 Steph and #60 Shelley~ Congratulations!

The holiday season is in full swing and if you are like me then you like to keep a nice festive scent in the air all over your home. With Renuzit Adjustables you can do so for a great price! They sell for no more than a dollar at most retail stores and they come in some really nice scents. I love the holiday line~ Winter Berry, Festive Snow, Apples & Cinnamon and Holiday Cookie. I received the Apples & Cinnamon Adjustables right in time for the holidays. I am keeping it in the hallway bathroom since this is the one my guests will use. I currently have one in Simply Vanilla in my office and I really like the sweet, subtle smell. I think these would make simple teacher gifts for the holidays if you put them in a decorative cellophane bag with some coordinating shredded stuffing paper or gift tissue.Not a bad frugal gift especially if you have a lot of teachers to buy for!

The Renuzit Team has sent me some coupons for FREE Renuzit Adjustable Air Fresheners to share with friends and family! Two (2) readers will receive three (3) coupons each.

To enter please let us know what your favorite Renuzit scent is or which one you would like to try.

Happy Thanksgiving

I wanted to wish all my favorite people in the blogworld a very Happy Thanksgiving. I am so thankful for everyone who takes time to read and comment on my blog. If you are traveling please be safe and enjoy your time with loved ones. We are staying home and I am going to prepare a big feast with the girls. We are doing the same traditional meal like we do every year since I always get outvoted. Don't be surprised if I post photos!
I am also preparing for Black Friday with Dwayne. We have our list made out of what we need from each store. I plan to pack snacks and bottled water just in case. We are keeping things simple and are mostly buying necessities although I do have Keurig on my mind (hint hint)...I'll even take the cheaper model. We were lucky last year that it was not as crowded as we thought it would be so let's hope it works out that way this year. I can't wait!

Are you brave enough to hit the streets on Black Friday?
