Spinach Quiche Recipe

This is a very versatile recipe. You can add pretty much any vegetable you want and it will come out great. My favorite thing to do is use up left over vegetables, this way I’m not wasting any food but we’re also not eating the same old thing. I cook this in a cast iron skillet but you can transfer the mixture into a pie pan or even a baking dish.

Spinach Quiche
Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup spinach
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup chopped onion
6 egg whites

Salt and pepper to taste

In a skillet heat the oil. Add onions and cook till just see through. Add mushrooms and spinach. Cook till spinach is wilted, it should only be five minutes tops if that at [Read more…]

Easter Adorable from The Children’s Place @thechildrensplc

Why do so few clothing stores make only a couple of options for boys? Nothing really cool or super fab. There are not many stores that cater to both boys AND girls. I love being the mom of a son, but shopping for fun clothes for him is challenging. He has his own taste (the child thinks he is a rock star) and it’s nearly impossible to fins clothing that he likes that I can afford. Hello? Do I look like I can afford boutique shopping? No, no I can’t. But he can look like I do, right? Enter The Children’s Place– home of all sorts of fabulous, at a price even I can afford (oh, and they are SO GOOD about sales- yay! Make sure you sign up for their newsletter and emails if you haven’t yet, you are so missing out if you are not on those lists!)


Yes- the girls clothes are really cute, trendy, and fun. But how often can you REALLY find great, stylish, boys items? Right? You know what I mean, moms, aunts, and grandmas of boys. It’s not easy. And they really make the outfit with the boy in mind- from belts to ties to hats- they know what a trendy boy wants to wear. Of course, you can buy jeans and T-Shirts there as well, but they are just so much more fun to shop at then any other store for me. If you look at my photos from this website, you can see that EASILY more then 70% of Little Man’s clothing comes from The Children’s Place. They keep the kid (and mommy’s wallet!) [Read more…]

Tiny Tillia- Sweet Gifts from Avon

I am a sucker for a stuffed animal. If it is stuffed and full soft I fall in love and so does my son. We are kindred spirits in our love of all things cute, soft and cuddlable. I especially like stuffed critters which are unique and different, like lets say a stuffed giraffe wearing a tie.

This particular giraffe is just about the softest thing I have ever touched. He is sixteen inches tall and ours name is Jeff the Giraffe. Yours of course will have another name but Little Man is the official name giver and we are glad its name wasn’t “Brownie” or “Cutie”.


This is, of course, the cute stuffie who was sent with the gift for mommy, which is actually a gift for Little Man. This gift set includes a Citrus Sherbet Shampoo and Body Wash, a Calming [Read more…]

Pros and Cons of Shopping Once a Month

The following is a guest post by Outside the Box Mom:

questions about using coupons

Thanks to your comments on this series, we have some great questions to address…

Based on a comment left in this series about 1 big monthly shopping trip using coupons, I began wondering about Once a Month Grocery Shopping. Is it possible with coupons?

Advantages of Grocery Shopping Once a Month:
*help you stick to budget
*allows large amount of money to spend at once
*makes you more aware of actual spending
*save money with bulk purchases
*force eating out of the pantry
*encourages eating all that you purchase (instead of just the most recent purchases)
*reduces the number of trips and impulsive purchases
*reduced travel, especially great if you live a great distance from grocery stores
*reduced amount of times with kids at store
*reduces major shopping trips only 12 times per year
*save on gas
*save time ( 1 trip vs 4 trips)

Disadvantages of Grocery Shopping Once a Month:
*have to calculate a month’s needs
*must last 4 weeks / 30 days
*save up money weekly vs. monthly
*requires weekly trips still needed to replenish produce
*requires care and organization in creating your list
*requires refrigerator/freezer room for up to 4 times your usual stock
*lose variety of sales from other 3 weeks of the month (if strictly avoid shopping [Read more…]
