Will Smith Touched My Arm

I recently had the chance to attend the annual Walmart Shareholders Meeting 2011.  It’s definitely not what most of you might think. It’s actually fun, informative, and my favorite is getting to hear the stories of the associates.   Last year was absolutely inspiring and this year was super cool. First, I want to tell you [...]

Take the Pet Pledge to Protect!

If you didn’t meet Rambo, check him out ’cause he’s a cutie!  We ‘protected’ him with the new PetArmor, flea and tick medicine and I’m happy to say that it’s still working like a champ.  I’m so happy that I can afford this for my pets. I challenge you to protect your pets and by [...]

A Peek at Dyson – Testing

I love seeing “behind the scenes” of products I love because in the end, it gives me more of an appreciation of what goes into the product. I’ve had the chance to attend several plants and factories and see how things are made and built and I just LOVE it. Seeing the hard work behind [...]

Pick Up Today – Making Our Summer Treat!

I have never had an ice cream maker.  Well, I take that back actually ’cause in our early years of marriage, we did have the one where you used rock salt and such but I don’t think it was mine. I think it was borrowed.  So finally after 15+ years, I decided to buy me [...]

Rambo’s Protected!

Have I showed you guys my new little dog?  Meet Rambo!  He’s a long haired Chihuahua who loves, actually, he prefers to be outside ALL the time which means I have to worry about ticks! I know many of you folks take your dogs to the vet to get their flea & tick medicine but [...]

Making that Gift You Bought Extra Special

So fellas, you’re buying a Mother’s Day gift, something really awesome like an Apple iPad, which truly is an awesome gift that she’s gonna love.  But, do you know what would really say that you put some thought into it?  Customizing it! Let’s say you’re buying her that oh so pretty white iPad.  What’s an [...]

Just a Hint or Two for Mother’s Day

With Mother’s Day around the corner, not only am I trying to decide what to get my own Mom but I’m also dropping hints to my family for myself.  You’d think after 18+ years of marriage that my husband would be able to get the kiddos together and pick something out on his own but [...]

Easter Goodies!

I just love the Easter holiday!  Look at all these Easter goodies for the kiddos!  I wanted to create three Easter baskets for my son Truett and two of his friends; Chloe and Chase.  I found some great items to put in them like bubbles ($1), sidewalk chalk ($1), mini ‘magna doodles’ ($1), and of [...]

Pharmacy Feedback – Please

walmart

We have a great Walmart pharmacy here in Sweetwater.  They are prompt and if you don’t pick up your subscription within a certain amount of time, they give you a call to remind that you it’s ready for pickup.  They are friendly and seem to always know their stuff.  But just like with anything in [...]

How to Make a Valentine’s Day Piñata Craft

Valentine's Day Pinata

During the middle years of our marriage, I did a lot of crafts.  In fact, I custom made things and sold them to folks so we’d have grocery money.  While I did need the money back then, I just really enjoyed crafting in general and promised myself that in 2011, I’d do more of the [...]

How is Walmart’s Lighting?

walmart-wskylight-full

They want to know!  As a Walmart Mom, I was asked to fill out the survey and pass it along to you, to hopefully fill out.   It takes, literally, 5 minutes and would be very helpful to them! It’s about their lighting system and whether or not you notice certain changes.  Like, did you know [...]

Fresh Start: Organizing

Every year, I swear I’m going to get organized. For some reason, it never happens.  Well this year, I’m making myself and have found a couple of creative uses for things that I’ve had lying around that I bought from Walmart.  I know you’ve probably seen both over in the home/school supplies section too! First, [...]

A Fresh Start – Carrying a Lighter Load

Hopefully anyways….. For the new year, like everyone else, I plan to work on my weight.  As many of you know, it’s been a struggle for years for me but the difference this year, is that I’ve actually learned some important things.   I’ve had the fortunate opportunity to visit the California Health and Longevity [...]

Toy Haul – Our Donation of Toys this Holiday Season

One of the cool things about being a Walmart Mom is certain opportunities like this toy haul and the recent food haul that I did, where we were given gift cards to make purchases and then donate.  On both hauls, I ended up spending a good chunk of my own money and was happy to [...]
