My "The Land of Nod" grand opening shopping haul!
This is a sponsored post.
Sometimes I feel like kids have the best stores to shop from. And when I walk into stores like The Land of Nod, I am proven right.
I had the opportunity to shop at The Land of Nod last week before it was open to the public. I'm so glad I went sans kids because they would have ran up quite a bill from all the awesomeness in the store. We noshed, we drank, we mingled,

5 Frugal Food Tips: Frugal Friday
Contributing post by Justine Burgess
Heading into the summer, sometimes it feels like half my budget gets spent eating outside of the house. It’s super-busy, and it seems like the time just gets away from me.

Don't Let Scent Insufficiency Take Over!
We all love Gain. When I pour some in the washer it makes me think of commercials where the clothes are washed in the river and come out clean smelling and fresh. As it turns out, Dr. Alan Hirsch from the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, has proved that what I experience has some truth in it!

Recipe: Fritos Preparados
One of my favorite treats to make is something that my mom introduced me to. It's sold in street corners all around her home town of Magdalena de Kino, Sonora. Now... I don't make this treat very much, but when I do it's a huge hit. You also have to eat them soon after making them, otherwise, they'll get soft. I don't think that's going to be a problem though. These are delish. ¡Buen provecho!

This is a sponsored post
Grants help families pay for children’s medical expenses not covered, or not fully covered, by a commercial health insurance plan.
My kids have insurance (thanks to the hubster). However, we have the cheapest insurance available which means that our co-payments are high and a simple trip to the ER will cost us about $150 (not including procedures and medication). So

Not everything that saves you money or time is really worth what it saves- sometimes being uber-frugal can result in a headache or heartache. Here are five things that, in my opinion, are absolutely worth the monetary splurge.

5 reasons why you should watch Devious Maids

Don’t miss the premiere of Devious Maids Sunday, June 23 at 10/9c on Lifetime.
I may have grown up watching novelas as a young adult, but I stopped once I got married. It was then that I got into the Desperate Housewives-type of shows. Similar to novelas, but in English and where Latinos/Latinas are in the minority. However, ever since Desperate Housewives ended,
