20 Years Later…I can FINALLY Leave the House!

20 Years Later…I can FINALLY Leave the House!

I know this is kind of a Taboo Topic, but I had to share this with all of you! I have literally suffered for 20 plus years when it is “That time of the Month” for me. Once I turned about 16, my menstrual cycle got so heavy, when it was that time, I could barely leave the house the 2nd and 3rd day of my cycle. No matter which SUPER PLUS Tampon I used (and yes I tried them all) I would flow through within a matter of a half hour, Even after my doctor put me on Birth Control to try and help manage it.

For 20 years, the only Tampon that would make it even bare able with a Maxi Pad on at the same time was Tampax Super Plus. (With these I could at least last an hour, sometimes two until I flowed through)

Recently (and yes, it was because I had a coupon for them and found a really good sale) I decided to try U Kotex. WHAT A DIFFERENCE. I keep asking myself, “WHY DID I NOT TRY THESE SOONER?” I have been using U Kotex Super Plus  now for the last three months, and it is the first time in my life I can go and do what I want when I want during my Menstrual Cycle! YES, EVEN on my heaviest Days!

If you have suffered like I have, Please, Give U Kotex a try, You will be happy you did, I guarantee it! I have not been endorsed in anyway from U Kotex for this blog post, I wanted to write this post because their Tampons have truly made a HUGE difference in my lifestyle and wanted to share this with you all!

How to save a FORTUNE with Zucchini

How to save a FORTUNE with Zucchini

Want to save a FORTUNE on your grocery bill EVERY year, and get healthier? PLANT SOME ZUCCHINI! My freezer is full year round! Chopped Zucchini, Shredded Zucchini, Zucchini Boats! Did I mention I have a separate chest freezer JUST FOR Zucchini? It is SUPER easy to grow, does not need a lot of watering, and let me emphasize again HOW MUCH IT WILL SAVE YOU ON YOUR GROCERY BILL!

First, let me explain the benefits of this amazing vegetable! The dietary fiber in zucchini helps lower cholesterol, it helps prevent cancer, it is GREAT for prostate health, it is an anti-Inflammatory, it helps prevent heart attack and stroke, it helps lower blood pressure, and it is high in manganese. (Get more details here)

zucchini and ground beef

Now let me explain how it is going to help you save on your grocery bill! I add zucchini to pretty much ALL my dishes! I replace half of the ground beef in a recipe with zucchini, I add it to my soups, I even add shredded zucchini to my mashed potatoes & brownies. The great thing about Zucchini is it takes the taste of what you are baking or cooking! You are going to use less meat in your hamburgers, meatloaf, chicken tacos, whatever you are cooking…THROW IT IN!  You can make YUMMY bread with shredded zucchini and even make Zucchini Crisp. (Tastes just like apple crisp)

zucchini and beef tips

So get out there, buy a packet of Zucchini seeds for $.99 and get your plants growing! That one time $.99 purchase years ago, has saved me thousands over the last few years! (When I clean my zucchini’s I dry some of the seeds and use them the following year)




What is the worst thing you can do for your Desktop Computer?

What is the worst thing you can do for your Desktop Computer?

This is going to surprise A LOT of you…But one of the worst things you can do to your computer everyday is shut it down! Booting and rebooting your computer can really take a toll on it!

A few years back, an IT person at where I worked told me this, and I have to admit I was skeptical, but I am now a believer! We have officially had our E-Machine now for six years! YES, six years with no problems what so ever for this cheapie desktop we paid under $300 for. Sure we slow down a little here and there, but it tunes right back up without a problem!

So, stop shutting the poor little guy off at night and give him a break, you will use a little more electricity, but in the long run you will save more than buying a computer every couple of years!

St. Nick – The night of December 5th

Do you do the St. Nick Tradition?

 

Does your family celebrate the St. Nick Tradition? I assumed everyone’s did, but I am finding out many do not know about him, especially in the United States, so I just wanted to take a second to explain in my own words.

St. Nick visiting is an old German Tradition my Mother always did for us kids, even as we got older. On the Eve of December 5th, Us kids would put outside our bedroom door our shoe or boot, or hang our Christmas Stocking so St. Nick could fill it with goodies!  This usually included a nice little note letting us know if we had been Naughty or Nice and what we needed to improve on. (Of course always signed St.Nick) If you have been extra naughty, you would not get any goodies, just a lump of coal. (And yes, I had a few years of Coal)

I think St. Nick is a great thing to start as a family tradition for a few reasons. The first being, Kids get sooooo excited for the holidays, it is a nice way to settle them down a bit with just a few little goodies and trinkets. It is also a nice tradition they will carry on with their family. My grandmother did it, my mother did it, and I also did this for our son. It is a great way to help build your Childs self esteem, When you write the letter, of course there will be a few “Need to improves” on there, but you can sandwich these comments with praise and appreciation for wonderful things they have done through out the year! Playing nice with their siblings, sharing, helping out around the house, etc.

Another idea I have heard others suggest is making December 5th a family get together, Instead of using their shoes or boots, pick up some of the plain old Red and White Christmas stockings and decorate them as a family event that night, then have them hang them out for St. Nick to fill and leave his special little note in!

Now…Who has heard about the Christmas Pickle? Oh the FUN we have with that on Christmas Morning when it is hidden in the Christmas Tree!

Tired of handing out the same old candy every Halloween? Want to be the house that is the talk of the Trick or Treaters? Think outside the wrapper! Hand out Fla.Vor.Ice pops (unfrozen)!

Now I know there are “healthier options,” and if you do that, that is GREAT! But there are a few reasons I have done Fla.Vor.Ice pops the last few years!

1) Everyone seems to LOVE these, kids and adults a like! (Maybe for us kids it is just a bit more nostalgic) But take a look at them, they are colorful and don’t they just give you that smiley feeling inside? I know they do me!

2) They are tamper resistant! If they have been tampered with in anyway, a parent can tell! (I also put an address label on all of mine, I sure get enough of these free through out the year)

3) It is something different for the kids! I can not tell you the times I drop them in a pumpkin or bag and a kid pulls them out and shows them to his friends or parents with a “AW COOL” being spoken!

4) You can pick these up at pretty much any store towards the end of the summer clearenced. You can get a whole box for just a few bucks!

So, if you are undecided what to hand those little ghost and goblins this year, keep Fla.Vor.Ice Pops in mind, the kids will Thank You!
