The antiperspirant is a full sized product and it works fantastically but I don't care for the fragrance of it so I gave it to my hubby. ;) The other products, except for the blotting papers, are more sample sizes but are perfect for throwing in my travel bags or even my purse.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-55213840609097252442016-06-29T13:43:01.646-07:002016-06-29T13:43:01.646-07:00Debbie, do you think the supplies you get in the b...Debbie, do you think the supplies you get in the beauty box are worth the $5 if you had used coupons or sales?

I think the weather was just to "hormonal" for them. ;) My tomatoes have fruit on them but they are really small.<br /><br />I know you can get copies of the cookbook via Amazon.com. The newer versions have a different cover than this one does but it is still the same cookbook. :)Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-75342415169678320362016-06-21T12:40:23.080-07:002016-06-21T12:40:23.080-07:00I feel the same way about Blogger!

I had to go in and create my own, and it's not nearly as good. Frustrating!<br /><br />My garden is going into full swing too. I've already harvested 2 crops of radishes! I've got onions and lettuce coming out my ears, and even a few grape tomatoes! I love this time of the year, it helps a ton with my budget.<br /><br />Finally, I'm going to try to find a copy of that cook book! I'm very interested. <br /><br />Have a great week Debbie!Jessica Jarrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14088243667002486509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-20536280601214139152016-06-20T15:25:52.152-07:002016-06-20T15:25:52.152-07:00Cheryl, your hubby is right...we all have those we...Cheryl, your hubby is right...we all have those weeks. ;) Smart man you married! :) <br /><br />I love Amish and Mennonite cookbooks.

Hope that was the last for you.<br /><br />I have a really old cookbook that was Mom's that I use often, but my most used is an Amish cookbook. Those country ladies sure do know how to cook!<br /><br />We all have those weeks, where we have to splurge on eating out. I think it is a necessity once in a while!!

My father managed an exclusive resort in Hawaii and I basically grew up there from the age 4 on. :)<br />I'm so sorry you crushed you hand. I pray it heals quickly for you. I'm sure your entire family will be happy when you can take back over on the cooking of meals. <br />I do hope you have a wonderful weekend! :)Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-847294683498063902016-06-17T18:19:03.553-07:002016-06-17T18:19:03.553-07:00Hi Debbie, I'm sure the gremlins in your syste...Hi Debbie, I'm sure the gremlins in your system are related to the same ones that eat the socks in the laundry. I only wear the little stocking sockettes and I am constantly finding one has gone missing. Horrid little gremlins!<br />Our week has been quite a big one. We have been getting ready for our daughter to move back in with us. She has been lucky enough to win a position with a resort very close to us. This led to her father and I driving for 9 hours to Brisbane and back yesterday. She and her father had organised a covered trailer for us to load her things into. The hire of the trailer and the cost of fuel worked out to be about half what a removalist would have cost. Hubby is playing tetrus in the shed to make all that is not going in the house fit. <br />I crushed my hand between a gate and airconditioning unit at a neighbours. This has meant I have not been of much use for the moving. Another neighbour came and helped with the heavy lifting today. Our daughter is now moved in.<br />Hubby made a big pot of rich beef broth earlier in the week. This was our meals for several days. I'm almost physically capable of getting some baking done. A bit of choice for meals is being looked forward to.<br />Here's to us all having a better frugal week. Life is good.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964345893499561504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-2969301055318900162016-06-17T16:56:40.563-07:002016-06-17T16:56:40.563-07:00Barbara, I would happily bring you some if you liv...Barbara, I would happily bring you some if you lived near me. :) I did try what you suggested but those mean old Gremlins are not allowing it. ;)Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-83630824503917213452016-06-17T16:38:58.730-07:002016-06-17T16:38:58.730-07:00I wish I had a sweet friend that wanted to bring m...I wish I had a sweet friend that wanted to bring me banana bread. About font size after you type your text you can highlight all the text and choose the font size and style you want. That might work.

And they have a baby box as well. Will be telling some friends about both.<br />Meant to tell you that I was on a taco kick last week as well. More like pan fried quesadillas one night and baked tostadas another time. cheers, SJ in Vancouver BCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-49199556029676105442016-06-17T14:25:26.925-07:002016-06-17T14:25:26.925-07:00HI SJ!

Here is the sign up link for the Walmart Beauty Box https://beautybox.walmart.com/<br /><br />I have always been bothered by the heat ever since I was a child. It got worse though when I moved from Hawaii, which had humidity, to the dry heat of Idaho for college. Now I can't handle humid heat at all either. <br /><br />I'm so glad you found those mugs...what a blessing, and the dvds too!

I'm always looking for another cookbook..hahaha.<br />So, how do you sign up for the quarterly WalMart package? I've never seen that offered.<br />In reading this, I wondered if being bothered from the heat is part of CFS? I, too, do not do well when it is even mildly hot. Thoughts from you or others? And, I also get brain fog with it and use my timer all the time (pun intended).<br />I had great finds on the Tuesday Senior Day at our local thrift and scored a number of dvds as well as some mugs that are part of my dish set.<br />Blessing to you!!
