Thrifty Teacher's Gift Baskets - $46 worth of items for only $12
I am very proud of the gift baskets I made for Payton's teachers. Planning ahead definitely saved me lots of money. I was able to put together a $46 gift basket for only $12. Here is how I did it.
Christmas Container - Dollar General $2
Starbucks Tumbler and Starbucks Hot Cocoa - $15.98 - Used a Starbucks gift card that I won from another blog giveaway
Tiny Prints Personalized Notepads - $16.99 - Used a gift card I had earned
Bic Pens - $1 - I got these for FREE with a coupon during the year
Staples $10 gift Card
Planning ahead saves me money plus takes away a little stress during the holiday season. I already had the ribbon and the basket bag. I think they turned out great and I can't wait for Payton to give them to her teachers tomorrow.
Did you make any gift baskets as gifts this year?

Giveaway Extended - The Good Life for Less Review and Giveaway
MomAdvice.com is one of the first blogs that I began reading many years ago. I immediately felt a connection to Amy Clark because she was a mom with small children like me. I began to read her blog almost daily and loved how she always found thrifty ways to have fun and entertain with her family.
I was thrilled when the Penguin Group contacted me and offered me a book to review. I couldn't wait to receive it. As soon as I unpacked Amy's book, I opened the cover and began to read. I read the whole book that evening. I simply could not put it down. Her book made me feel like I was have a conversation with a friend.
Amy's book truly does provide ways to Giving Your Family Great Meals, Good Times, and a Happy Home on a Budget. I especially loved the selection of recipes she included in Chapter 3 and how she keeps a clean home in Chapter 5.
About the Author
Named one of the Top 50 Power Moms in Nielsen’s Online list and a “Power Mom” by Parents Magazine, Amy Allen Clark consults with marketing teams for companies offering and offers guidance on how to reach moms.

Carmex Everyday Lip Conditioner Review
As a member of the Carmex Blog Squad, I recently received a free sample of their new Everyday Lip Conditioner. As you most know, I love Carmex and use it daily. I have it at home, in my purse, and most of the time in my vehicle. I try to prevent my lips from chapping especially during the winter months.
If you are looking for something new to try to prevent chapping and keep your lips feeling soft, give Carmex Everyday Lip Conditioner a try. I truly believe you won't be disappointed.
