What’s in the Box?

Fed Ex stopped by my house the other day. The Frugal Hubby was at home and he starts asking what I’ve ordered. Then I said three words — My Blog Spark. He gets all excited because he’s started to like getting these packages from sponsors and people wanting us to try out their products. It was kind of like a kid at Christmas!
Take a look at what My Blog Spark and Olay sent to me to try. It is really neat!
I’d love to tell you …

Our West Texas Snow Storm

This is what we woke up to this morning!  This is actually my shrub that is in my front yard.  We are 150 miles from Mexico and we have snow! We haven’t heard an “Official” snow measurement but in our yard it looks like we got about 5 inches.  It has stopped but it looks like it could start again at any minute.
Four things we did to get prepared for this “winter storm”!
1.  Get your groceries  before the snow fall actually starts! The Frugal Hubby went to the grocery store …
