For as long as I have known my husband he has never spent more then $20 on a pair of shoes, unless of course they are cleats for soccer. Sometimes he does find high quality shoes on sale but often times he’s buying shoes from retailers that are known for their knockoffs. Unfortunately, you really do get what you pay for and sometimes the quality of the shoes he buys are just not up to my standards. They fall apart easily and we end up having to buy more shoes more frequently, using up money that could have been budgeted for something else. I have worked with Lugz once before…

This Easter you might be thinking outside the box of candy.

This camera retails for $39.99 and has the following features. 2.1 mega pixel shots 3…

Easter has long been our favorite holiday to celebrate and sometimes my birthday falls on it, making the holiday an even more enjoyable experience for our family. Peeps have long been a go to treat in our kids Easter baskets. I guess you could say this tradition was handed down from my parents since I always had a Peep or two in my Easter basket as well. The great thing about Peeps is there is so many types of them that is makes it so easy…

They are also just the right size, not too large or too small. Majestical Jewlery has many pieces of…
