Frugal Southern Mom

It's finally summer. Time to start making lasting summer memories!  As a kid I would always look forward to summer trips, we camped out a lot. The highlight of the day when you were camping was walking to the country store and picking up an ice cold coke in a bottle and finding some kind of junk food you had never tried before and making sure you picked up the makings for s'mores for-later that night by the fire! Driving on the summer trips were always fun. My dad would always stop by the same places while enroute to the camp grounds, so we learned quickly which stores had the best junk food and we would always beg to stop there!   Sometimes during the road trip, it never failed someone would always ask, "Are we there yet?  Or state, "I am bored!" My Dad would just shake his head and try to come up with things we could do while traveling in the car so we wouldn't ask this timely question!! Today I have instilled some of these same games in my daughter's l...

My daughter and I have been trying to find some Mom and daughter time, which lately seems to be impossible. She works evenings and I work day shift.  A few nights ago we found a few hours at home together and I was anxious to try out a new foot creme gift set I had recently received in the mail to review.  First we tried the foot peeling, it's gritty and oily and we followed that up with a warm foot bath. After drying our feet I have to admit our feet felt smooth. We then followed up with the foot creme , which also left our feet feeling smooth and soft.  Next we tried the warming balm for your feet. This left our feet feeling warm and cozy. We both agreed this would be great to use in the winter months when you always have cold feet! It was time for the leg creme.  The smell is wonderful and very relaxing.  Lastly we tried the cooling gel, this makes your feet feel very tingly and I can see this being a great product to use when you have been on ...
