Santa Cruz Boardwalk - $10.95 Unlimited Rides DEAL


My mom took us (kids& myself) to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk a couple weeks ago.  We had so much fun and I would do this again and again!  My mom actually got on the roller coaster with my son and I went on the water boat ride with him.  When I was online looking at what there was to do at the boardwalk of course I clicked on Coupons and Discounts and WOW I found a DEAL!  The regular day pass for unlimited rides is $39 so when I saw the $10.95 price I was thrilled.  All we had to do was go AFTER 5pm (Wed/Thurs) and bring in a Pepsi can (used or not).  How awesome is that?  


We went early in the day to play games (grandma/grandpa gave each kid $25) and look around plus sit on the beach for a bit. Hint- BRING BEACH STUFF because the beach was amazing but we didn't have a blanket or any beach toys.  Yes, there are plenty of stores that sell that stuff but I wasn't going to buy it there, LOL!  We enjoyed corn dogs for lunch- yummy!  Then we headed back to hotel for some afternoon swimming and came back after 5pm.

We were there about 3 hours and I'm sure the kids could have went a bit more but it was my mom's birthday and we wanted to take her out to eat.  I was prepared to take her out on the pier at one of those fancy restaurants but she wanted to go to the favorite cafe we found in Santa Cruz - http://www.santacruzdiner.com/.

It was a WONDERFUL DAY!

The Couch Is My New Bed

What the HECK is going on??? I can't sleep at night because I'm HOT.  I have the window open in the bedroom but I can't get comfortable so I toss and turn all night.  When I get tired of tossing then I head into the living room that has a ceiling fan and I let that put me asleep.  I don't sleep soundly on the couch but it comfy. 


I'm not sweating~ just HOT!  WTH?  Is the summer weather bothering me (hasn't before) or am I approaching the Menopausal stage of my life.  Whatever it is I'm not liking it and it needs to GO AWAY.  My hubby is not liking it either. 

I need my sleep.

Love Pinterest for Recipes! What I Made This Week.

This week I used 2 recipes from pins I have on my FOOD BOARD.


I made this YUMMY Cheesy Broccoli Chicken Foil Packs (minus the broccoli lol) and the family LOVED it!  It was so easy to put together.  The kids ate everything and it filled us up.  We will doing this recipe again soon! I told my hubby next time I will put the broccoli in.  

I highly recommend this recipe and please visit Best Life 4 Moms to get the RECIPE!






The other recipe I made this week was Crockpot Cube Steak and Gravy -another HIT!  It might not look the best but it sure was yummy.  Cube Steak can be a chewy meat but when it was cooked in the crockpot, oh my what a difference.  I made rice/ side salad to go with this dish.  I love using crockpot recipes because I can put it all together in the morning and then enjoy the rest of the day.  Some days are so busy that I don't event think about dinner until 5pm and at the point I say "Eating out tonight?".  So crockpots recipes ROCK and save me money!


I also recommend this recipe so please visit The Post-It Place to get the RECIPE.


What is your FAVORITE RECIPE from Pinterest?

Naughty Makeovers for Nice Girls Book Review



Naughty Makeovers for Nice Girls is loaded with makeup and fashion advice to empower a Nice Girl to transform herself into a spicy but classy woman in every situation. So, go ahead and channel your inner naughty. Instead of fading into the background, become a star in your own life!

When I signed up for this Book Review I didn't quite know what I got myself into being 43 and not sure if this would fit into my life.  But it does.  It can fit into just about anyone's lifestyle that is for sure.  I loved seeing the 3 different looks on each style (Nice Girl, Trashy Girl, and Naughty Girl).  The Naughty Girl looks were awesome and I could see myself dressing like that for sure.  I'm more the Nice Girl now- only because I'm in Mom Mode 24/7.  

I love the list it gives for Naughty Girls to have in their closets- time to spend some money on Mommy kids! Are you looking for a Naughty Make Over?

Naughty is the new Nice..
That’s the mantra and message of the new “tell-all” how-to paperback, physical book from beauty maestro Dimitri James. In Naughty Makeovers for Nice Girls, James creates a new kind of finishing school–one for nice girls who always finish anywhere but first.

Also check out his Skinn Cosmetics website that the author owns. There are some wonderful products and information on the site.  

I didn't grow up on makeup or what was in is what I needed to have so beauty was not part of my growing up but I sure do love clothes.  The book goes through what makeup to apply and even let me know what colors are great to wear with my eye color.  Learned a few colors that I don't tend to wear so I will give it a try.  Also I now have a list of colors I can wear with my red hair- big plus there! I know I could use a makeover and this book is going to help me do it!

The chapters are:
  • Naughty at Work
  • Naughty on First Date
  • Naughty Online
  • Naughty Cougars
  • Naughty in the Hood
  • Naughty at Home
  • Naughty Traveler
  • Naughty at Church
They give us so many tips and looks that you want to be NAUGHTY!  I know I will do a second look at myself in the mirror everyday- Am I Naughty today!  

LOVE THIS!


In the near future I will be hosting a GIVEAWAY for a copy of this book. Who wants a NAUGHTY MAKEOVER???


I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Magic Mike~ Who is Going To See This Movie?
