Luvs “Take A Stand” campaign!
Here is the question....Was there a time when you drew the line and took a stand?
This year due to the economy I stopped purchasing items without having a coupon, price matching the items, and/or the items being on sale. I refuse to over paying for things. I kept hearing about people saving so much money, and even getting free items. And I was probably standing in line with one of those ladies paying full price. I always thought i was being smart with my money. Being a single parent makes you be smart or you will run out of money quick. I always thought to myself cutting coupons is a chore, price matching how embarrasing, and would i have to argue with salespeople. When it comes down to it, a dollar saved is a dollar in my pocket. Now i have more dollars in my pocket, and i get more for my money. I take it all back. I love coupon clipping, it's my new hobby. Saving money is a challenge I like to conquer. It's like a game. I try to see if I can beat the last savings. Price matching, how crazy is that. I love sales, and clearances. Power to the clipping world!
When my son was born I compared prices and ended up buying Luvs because they were cheaper. They turned out to be great. My son never had leak problems. 10 years later and they are still my diaper choice.
Luvs is committed to empowering moms everywhere to stand up for what really matters to them – from saying no to high prices to trusting your gut when it comes to parenting.

Marissa's very adorable baby avatar is the "celebrity" site host!

Kenmore "Crazy Cleaning Confessions" contest
Where do I start? My cleaning confessions are not that crazy I don't think. You tell me.
Dishwashing....First, I must admit I have a dishwasher but I rarely use it. I only really use it on holidays when I am tired and it is so many dishes to hand wash. I have everyone put the dirty dishes on the right side of the sink. I normally wash my dishes after we have eaten but there are those days where I have been lazy and they just pile up all week until Saturday. By this time they are all crusted up and need to soak, so while I am cleaning the reast of the house i let them soak. Then I come back and hand wash them. Ok, so what do I use my dishwasher for you are asking? To dry my dishes of course. They stay in the dishwasher racks until i put them away the next time i do dishes or we just grab from there what we need.
Washing and Drying...Now let me tell you that i hate this part of chores. I have a two story house so the dirty clothes and hampers are all upstairs. The washer and dryer are downstairs. Here is what I do. I get the clothes and since I dont have a laundry chute, i drop it from the second story down to the floor. Home made chute for me, only on my lazy days. Then once all the clothes is all over my living room floor, i separate it into piles, whites, colors, etc. My son helps by separating his clothes into the piles. Now to washing, i wash and then dry, and wash and then dry. Every load that comes out I immediately fold or hang up. I have my son grab his clothes and put it away as we go along. But this gets tiring so by the time the last load is done, i am pooped. SO the last load stays in the dryer until I need something from that load, or until it is time to wash next time. I have forgotten loads in the washer and oh man they stink so they have to be rewashed. I hate when that happens. My fiancee helps out sometimes by washing his clothes but his confession is he will not fold, hang, or put up any of his clothes. He will do every load and leave it for me as a great surprise. One time we had so much clothes we put it in the guess bedroom on top of the bed, and we would just grab and iron. I never want that to happen again.
Well these were my cleaning confessions. Do you have any crazy cleaning confessions that you want to share? Leave a comment...

Child Passenger Safety Week
When I was in high school a good friend of mine lost her little brother in a car accident. He flew out of the side window in his mom's truck. The mom only had the infant baby in a car seat. She thought he was big enough and did not need one. He died instantly when he hit the pavement. His mom was not going fast. She was in a school zone and had just dropped my friend off at school. She saw the whole thing. I went to my first funeral and it was not something I like to remember. He was so small and the only boy. For that reason, I make sure to buckle up my loved ones, especially the little ones.
Did you know that the NHTSA's (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) Child Passenger Safety Week is this week? Or that Seat Check Saturday is this Saturday?
