Hello, and good morning. Welcome to Its A Mom Life, happy Wednesday. This is a great day for a mom tips and tricks blog! Do you plant a garden? What do you grow? Last is when do you start your seeds, if you do start your own? I use to pre buy all my plants that I could not just plant in the ground. That was before tho and after spending so much money as I have a large garden, years ago I set out to start trying to replant some of my own plants. I still buy some from the green house, and try to always get some flowers and plants need to support our loyal greenhouses. As I am from a small town I try to get a little bit from both greenhouses! So what's some tricks that I use when starting seeds? I have started some seeds already it was the end of February and I do try to start them earlier then that,but life happened and it was the end of the month! Story of my life there haha. There are so many different products put there to start your own seeds, however all that stuff adds up v...

Hello, good morning happy Tuesday. This diy Tuesday is a good one, I have been making this product for a long time now! This is something that I found to work great, and save a LOT of money! This is making your own fabric softener! This product is one of the easiest things I make and will not go back to store bought! This product contains ingredeints that you will more then likely have on hand and if not very cheap to get! So if you're ready let's get to it! For homemade fabric softener all you will need is: an empty jug ( I just have a very old fabric softener jug)  2 cups of conditioner any kind, I use the cheapest from Wal-Mart, you can use dollar store but for the size difference I use Wal-Mart!  You will need 3 cups white vinegar. Last you need 6 cups warm water.  That is all you need! So now let's make it, take your 2 cups of conditioner and 3 cups white vinegar and mix together, pour into the jug, then just add the 6 cups water. Give it a shake I try ...

Hello, welcome back to Its A Mom Life, let's finish our last "love" month off shall we. This is a shorter week so the challenge will be easy! I'm hoping anyways! With there only being 4 days left, I purpose we finish the month off strong! This is a full money freeze! Unless you have bills that are needing to be paid or come out of an account, don't use that money! Put those debit and credit cards away, in a drawer, freeze them in a cup of water so you can't grab it. Do what you have to do but don't touch that account! It's only 4 days you can do it, no milk don't have cereal, no bread improvise! You can finish the "love" month off strong and finish saving that money! How did your month challenge go? Did you learn any tricks with this month's challenge? The real question is did you notice the money you saved? Let me know in the comments down below what you thought about this month's challenge! As always don't forget to...

Hello, happy Sunday welcome to Its A Mom Life! Sundays can be a good rest day, they can also be a good prep day! I have always worked the best with having a list and a good game plan. When I became a mom 10 years ago now, I realized I needed a game plan, with more kids in the mix a day to day plan didn't quit cut it anymore. I like to plan, I had got a planner from my sister a couple years ago and I couldn't go back. With diving into a weekly planner, it was awesome. I have a planner that has a month over look, and a weekly layout! I look forward to sitting down and planning for my up coming week now on Sundays is when I do my weekly planning. Do you use a planner, if so what kind do you enjoy? The one I have now is roughly the same outline, I am still getting use to using it as it's only been a couple months! I have used loose leaf paper, journals, and the weekly layout. I have not invested in making my own yet. This might come for next year! With this to I love a nic...

 Hi, welcome to Its A Mom Life I'm Kandis, however I normally go by: mom,mommy,mommom and mamma hahaha.... I will joke when people ask me what is name is, and reply with a questioning look with "-umm... mom,mamma, oh yes my name is Kandis! Have you ever felt this way? I thought we could talk about mom quilt and all the roles our names play! It is an amazing feeling to be called mom, however I tend to almost forget that I am not just mom, don't get me wrong I am not anything but happy to be called mom, but I need to remember I'm more! I am thinking about the last time, that I went out, with the hubby, or for a girls night out! Is this something that sounds familiar! How many times in a day I get asked where something is, my 2nd kid he now says to me " but, you're mom you know where it is!" How about the number of times or days I didn't get my shower I'm because well life happened! There is so much in my name, and I need to show all sides of it ...

Hello and welcome to Its A Mom Life, do you have a go to recipe that gets used over and over? In this house when I go to make a cake, when it's chocolate it's the same one! My COCOA FUDGE cake, this is out of Betty Crocker's cookbook new and revised edition. This was my mom's cookbook and is still being well used. I can find this page easy as the page is full of chocolate stains! I had used this recipie the other week for my part of my daughter's birthday cake!
