All opinions are mine alone. #SickDaySolutions #CollectiveBias #ad I am a full time working mom that commutes an hour each way to work. To say that my plate is full is an understatement. During the winter months it snows, gets cold and with my schedule it is more likely for me to get a cold or the flu. I don’t have time to be sick but when I am I like to be prepared. Most common cold’s linger for longer than we would like so I came up with this handy Kick…

Multi functional vinyl pouches with tutorial
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #GIVEEXTRAGETEXTRA #Kroger #ad #CollectiveBias There is always a date night, pool day, last minute grocery trip, girls night out or sporting event that requires some preparedness. We’ve come up with some great clear vinyl pouches that are small enough to fit inside of a purse or beach bag but large enough to fit all the necessities for an outing. Our first idea was a girls / women’s pouch mainly because I have 3 teenage daughters that are into the dating scene and they are always throwing in last minute items into their bags…

Hosting for the Holidays? Holiday Survival guide + Free printable
#HolidayNecessities #CG My home was absolutely packed with over night guests during Thanksgiving week and I know I am going to have more guests coming and going throughout the month of December. I have learned that there is nothing worse during the holiday season then a guest yelling for toilet paper from the bathroom, having a toddler run around with a runny nose and not having Kleenex nearby, having to clean up a juice spill without any paper towels or not having a quick gift to give a neighbor or friend at the last minute. I am here to share with you some of my holiday prep tips to having…

Emergency Candle kits
Emergency preparedness candle kits Quite a while ago our ward did Emergency preparedness candle kits but I of course didn’t do them that night I was a big procrastinator and just barely got mine done. For these kits you need a wide mouthed canning jar (with lid and ring) 4 candles (like the one in the pictures) you can find these at Wilderness survival gear online for .99 cents each but they go down in price if you buy them in bulk. They are 5″ x 1.5″ candles will burn for 8 to 10 hours. I made 5 jars – one for each level of my home then extra’s just…

Freezer apple pie filling I received some apples that were given to me by a neighbor who got them from her father’s apple trees. She gave me an entire large rubber maid container full.

Canning Spaghetti Sauce.. with a victorio
Canning Spaghetti Sauce using a victorio It has been a LONG time since I have canned Spaghetti sauce and it is almost like having a baby.. okay not really but you forget how painful the process is! So, that is comparable to childbirth right? I ran out and bought a Victorio strainer because in my mind it would make the process so much easier then boiling the tomatoes and peeling the skin off right? Sure, if you want runny spaghetti sauce. I am a thick kind of girl.. I like things in my life to be “thick” I like my man with a little meat on his bones, I like…

It is all I can do to stay on top of my home, appointments, lessons, school schedules, church and of course meals!

So, I finally took the time to prepare some freezer meals and freezer short cuts to make my evenings go a lot smoother. First off I took…
