Spicy Chicken Wings

September 17, 2017 by Jennifer 6 Comments

Spicy Chicken Wings

These amazing chicken wings are so spicy you’ll be ready for an icy drink.  They’re full of flavor and heat that tastes really good – just like wings you find at established wing restaurants.

And these delicious fresh chicken wings are at the Walmart Deli.  I like a side of celery and ranch dressing to complement (and) cool them.  For parties they’re always a hit and are gone in the first 30 minutes.

When I was a kid, we went to a party where some “very hot” chicken wings were served. My brother who was older, teased me that I couldn’t eat one. So I put one on my plate just to prove that I could.

I took a deep breath and then started to eat it. It was the hottest thing I had ever eaten. I was shocked that a piece of chicken could be so hot. My whole mouth was on fire. I wanted to fan my mouth or gasp but I was determined to eat the hot wing. I finished the rest of the wing while he watched in awe. “It wasn’t hot at all”, I said smiling. Then, just as soon as I could (without being seen) I put a large ice cube in my mouth. He was impressed. And I had won.

But spicy chicken can taste good – if you have just the right amount of spices. The breading on this chicken is just the right thickness and is well seasoned. The fiery cayenne pepper is what brings the heat but it’s not too much.

Spicy Chicken Wings (In Stores Only)

You get both drumettes and wingettes in this box. The meat is well trimmed and mouthwatering. The delectable meat brings some coolness to the hot breading.

So take these spicy chicken wings home to eat.  Or bring them to a party, a tailgate, or sports get together. Just bring a lot and expect them to be eaten quickly.

See you at Walmart!

Fashionable Summer Purses

August 10, 2017 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Summer Purses | yesilovewalmart.com

Summer Purses | yesilovewalmart.comThese fashionable summer purses are so pretty.  I love the colors and how the leather feels.  And you can choose from many styles: like a long strap, crossbody, tote, or satchel.

There is nothing like a brand new purse – the leather, the new color, the shininess of the hardware, and the empty cool pockets and compartments just waiting to be filled.

As a kid, it was fun to play with my mom’s new purses.  I’d take all of her things out and put everything that I needed in there.  My play telephone was important so it went in there.  I might need to take an important call.

My favorite doll went in there as well as my latest play makeup set.  I also had lots of important folded up pieces of paper and coupons (just like mom).  Sometimes I’d put our cat in there but he couldn’t stand it for even a couple of minutes.

So, here are my favorite purses for the summer season.

Summer Purses - Crossbody Handbag | yesilovewalmart.comGeorge Women’s Jacquard North South Crossbody Handbag – Floral Trellis

How can you resist the beautiful and colorful flowers on this crossbody?  It’s also a nice choice for a teen.

I like the little flower hardware on the front.  It has two outside pockets, an inside pocket, and a pouch to drop a cell phone in.  And it has a zipper closure on the main compartment.  It’s 9½ x 9 x 2¼” and has a long adjustable strap.  It feels like a flexible leather.

Summer Purses - Classic Tote Handbag | yesilovewalmart.comGeorge Women’s Reagan Reversible Classic Tote Handbag – Cremini Blue

I love a large tote bag.  These two colors, light blue and beige work well with my wardrobe.  So, I’m glad it’s reversible.  When you reverse it to the beige you will see a seam along the bottom, up the sides and in the bottom corners.

The leather is very flexible. It easily conforms to you when you’re carrying it.  It closes at the top with a strong magnet.

It could hold a tablet computer and/or a laptop that had a width of 12”.  It would also be great for school as it can hold a 3” binder.  It is 15½ x 13 x 3½” with a strap height of 9”.

Summer Purses - Wallet on a String Handbag | yesilovewalmart.comGeorge Women’s Double Single Pocket Wallet on a String Handbag – Peach Whisper

This sweet purse has delicate flowers that are embossed into the leather on the front.  I really like its light peach color and the soft, malleable leather.

The purse is 10 x 6¾ x 1”.  Since it’s only one inch wide it’s for holding only what’s most important.  It has a thin adjustable strap that can extend to make it a crossbody.

It has two pockets on the front and one on the inside.  The main compartment is closed with a zipper.

Summer Purses - Logan Satchel | yesilovewalmart.comGeorge Women’s East West Logan Satchel – Coral

This classic purse feels durable but the leather is flexible.  The three separate large compartments will help to keep your things organized.  It’s 12 x 7½ x 4½” with handles that are 9”.

The body has three compartments.  Two are closed with a magnet and the largest one is closed with a zipper.  It has two pouches on the ends and a zipper pocket on the front.  There are no inside pockets.

Summer Purses - Mini Crossbody | yesilovewalmart.comGeorge Women’s Preston Mini Crossbody – Sage Mint

This chic purse has a super soft flexible leather.  You can’t stop touching it.  I also like the pretty hardware and detailing on the front.

It’s a nice pastel mint green. The strap is adjustable and the purse is 9½ x 9 x 2¼”, the same size as the floral purse.  It also has two pockets and a pouch on the outside.  On the inside there’s another pocket while the main compartment is closed by a zipper.

Purses give you lots of options.  Sometimes you want a large purse or tote to carry a lot.  Other times you need a smaller purse to run out the door with for an errand.  You can find many styles and colors at Walmart.

There’s nothing like a new purse.  So, have fun with these fashionable summer purses!

See you at Walmart!

Facial Moisturizers – Treat your Face

July 4, 2017 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Facial Moisturizer | yesilovewalmart.com

Facial Moisturizer | yesilovewalmart.comI like facial moisturizers, they are a great way to treat your face.  My face often needs some TLC (tender loving care).  My skin gets pretty dry during the winter.  And the summer sun also takes a toll on it.  I should start treating my face to softness every day, not just when it feels dry.

Walmart has “Equate” versions of many products.  These Equate™ products compare to brand name moisturizers like Cetaphil™, Aveeno™, and Olay™.

So, this is what I look for in a moisturizer:

  1. It needs to feel good on my skin. No burning or greasiness.  It should absorb and feel smooth and comfortable.
  2. It has to dry quickly. I understand some products take a little fanning to dry.  But, I don’t want it on my pillow or sheets when I wake up.
  3. It needs to leave a matte finish. I don’t want my foundation to slide around on top of it or drip off.
  4. The smell has to be either faintly pleasant or neutral. I don’t want to smell like an air freshener or a medicine cabinet.

What did we think?  Here’s our breakdown for these four moisturizers.

Facial Moisturizers - Naturally Beaming | yesilovewalmart.comEquate™ Beauty Naturally Beaming Daily Moisturizer (Soy Based Complex with Sunscreen, SPF 15) 4 fl. oz.

This pump “natural” moisturizer is for all skin types (especially sensitive).  It’s the most expensive of the four.  This moisturizer was thick and it had the best pleasant/neutral scent.

It felt smooth going on.  It took a while, but it did dry enough to put foundation on.  It wasn’t greasy but it did not give me a matte finish.  This moisturizer may help you with uneven skin tone.  Surprisingly, it’s the only one that doesn’t mention if it clogs pores.

Facial Moisturizers - All-Day | yesilovewalmart.comEquate™ Beauty All-Day Moisturizing Lotion (Normal, with Sunscreen, SPF 15), 6 fl. oz.

This all-day moisturizer is for normal skin.  It was very thick and applied easily.  I really liked how it absorbed quickly into our skin and left a soft matte finish.  Woo Hoo!

Our skin felt very smooth.  The smell was neutral but a tiny bit like sunscreen.  It was nice though, not annoying.  Another good point about it is that it’s made with vitamins B5, E, and C.

Facial Moisturizers - Ultra-Hydrating | yesilovewalmart.comEquate™ Beauty Ultra-Hydrating Beauty Lotion (Original Formula), 6 fl. oz. $3.48

This ultra-hydrating moisturizer is for dry skin and is the least expensive.  The lotion also dried quickly and left a smooth matte finish.  It felt very good on my skin.

The pink moisturizer has a faint pleasant smell that is similar to baby lotion.  It was nice and thick but went on easily.  It’s too bad it’s the only one that isn’t made with sunscreen.  I do like that it hydrates and replenishes skin.

Facial Moisturizers - Daily | yesilovewalmart.comEquate™ Beauty Daily Facial Moisturizer (with Sunscreen, SPF 15), 4 fl. oz.

This pump daily moisturizer is for all skin types.  This was our least favorite of the four we tried.  Sorry.  Our biggest issue is that it took a long time to semi-dry.  My fingers were even greasy looking after applying it.  It was the thinnest in consistency.  And it made my face look shiny.

Which moisturizer is best for you?  Will you use it for sun protection?  Do you need help with skin tone or wrinkles?  Remember, when your skin feels dry – don’t use harsh peels, masks, or toners.

So, treat your skin to a facial moisturizer.  The size for these products is nice. You can just toss them in your purse or gym bag and moisturize throughout the day.

And, of course, the best way to hydrate your skin is to drink lots of water.  It will help your skin stay young looking.

See you at Walmart!

Spring Decor – Home or Garden

June 2, 2017 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Garden, Home Decor | yesilovewalmart.com

Garden, Home Decor | yesilovewalmart.comI love it when it’s time to decorate for spring.  It’s fun to plant my garden and see flowers start to bloom.  Every morning I enjoy walking outside to the feel the warmth of the sun and see how my baby plants are growing.

You will like this collection of special things to help you decorate inside your home, on your porch, or in your garden.  It welcomes the flowers, birds, and new growth.

Garden, Home Decor - Garden | yesilovewalmart.comHanging Garden Decor

The flowers and butterfly on this wall hanging are colorful and beautiful.  I think my mom will like this for Mother’s Day.  It’s made with a thin board and a wire hanger that has a loop at the top.  It’s 8 x 10 inches.

Garden, Home Decor - Hooks | yesilovewalmart.comMetal Hook – Birdhouse, Bird

These hooks have bright colors and are embossed with a raised texture.  They’re metal and painted to look rustic along the edge.  You can put jackets and sweaters on these hooks. Or you could hang a bird feeder or rain gauge on them.  The house is 4½ x 7” and the bird is 5 x 5½”.

Garden, Home Decor - Home | yesilovewalmart.comHome Wall Decor

This classic HOME wall hanging is pretty.  It can be hung on the front of a house or tucked up in a display on the fireplace mantle.  It is made from wood with a black wire background.  The letters have a faint rustic edge on them.  It’s hung by a hangar at the top.  It measures 6 x 12”.

Garden, Home Decor - Wind Chime | yesilovewalmart.comMagnolia Creek™ Metal Wind Chime (In Stores Only) $14.97

This metal wind chime is so pretty.  It has an intricate glass bluebird at the top and the blue glass weight at the bottom.  The chimes sound so nice when a breeze moves them.  It hangs on a hook with a chain.  The bird is 5 x 7” while the total length is 35”.

Garden, Home Decor - Herbs | yesilovewalmart.comHanging Herbs Decor

I prefer to use fresh herbs (rather than dried) when I cook.  So, every spring when I plan my garden, the first thing I can’t wait to plant is herbs.  I’m lucky that my rosemary stays year round; while my thyme comes back every year.

This wall hanging will hold herbs that I want to dry in my kitchen or on the back patio.  The board is 6 x 13” and the clips are about 3 inches long.  It hangs with a piece of twine attached to the back.

It’s spring time – so dig out your rain jacket and gardening clogs.  This decor will help you welcome spring.

See you at Walmart!

Bright Workout Outfit – Get Moving!

May 11, 2017 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Workout Outfit, Bright | yesilovewalmart.com

Workout Outfit, Bright | yesilovewalmart.comHow are you doing on those New Year’s resolutions?  Eating less?  Eating healthier?  Exercising?  A new workout outfit can give you added motivation to exercise.  This outfit has bright colors and is very comfortable – a perfect combination.

How am I doing on eating healthier and exercising?  Well…  I’m doing ok on the food part, but my exercising has gradually dropped off.  So, I’ve got to make it a priority.  And this workout outfit will help motivate me.

Workout Outfit, Bright - Pants | yesilovewalmart.comDanskin Now™ Women’s Fitspiration Active Graphic Legging

I built the whole outfit around these amazing leggings.  They have bright rainbow colored words down the side of one of the legs.  The leggings are comfortable, soft, smooth, and made of stretchy fabric with an elastic waist.

Workout Outfit, Bright - Tank | yesilovewalmart.comDanskin Now™ Women’s Active Mesh Vented Tank with Strappy Back

The thin stripes in this pretty tank match the bright words in the leggings.  The tank is also stretchy and comfortable.  It has “moisture wicking” which means it keeps you dry and cool and prevents odor.

The side/back panels are made with a mesh fabric so they’re airy.  In the back, the straps are doubled and cross.  But you will need a shelf bra for support.

Workout Outfit, Bright - Jacket | yesilovewalmart.comAthletic Works™ Women’s Mockneck Full Zip Microfleece Jacket – Orbit Orange

The fleece on microfleece tops and jackets is so soft and thick.  So it keeps me nice and warm.  This neon orange jacket is bright.  I’ll definitely be seen at night (and in the day).  It’s the perfect color to complement the tank and leggings.  It has pockets in the front.  It’s very fitted so I went up in size for a roomier fit.

Workout Outfit, Bright - Shoes | yesilovewalmart.comDanskin Now™ Girls Lightweight Athletic Shoes – Gray Coral

These sneakers are super lightweight and comfortable.  You hardly feel like you’re wearing shoes.  Remember, a size 6 in girls fits a size 8 in women’s.

So, try to eat well and exercise – even if it’s just a little.  Doing some exercise may help you sleep better at night.  And exercising increases endorphins in your brain – which helps you feel good.

Take the time for you.  Buy a new outfit if it motivates you (like I did).  Get moving!

See you at Walmart!

Hearty Italian Bean Soup

April 26, 2017 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Hearty Italian Soup | yesilovewalmart.com

Hearty Italian Soup | yesilovewalmart.comThis hearty Italian bean soup warms you inside and out.  It is thick, rich, healthy, and satisfying.  When you cook it, your house will be filled with the scent of herbs – oregano, thyme, and basil.

My family likes this soup.  It is nice for a cold day to keep them warm.  And it is very healthy.  The soup has vegetables, white cannellini beans, ham, and stewed tomatoes.  The vegetables are sautéed in butter with onions and garlic.  And I recommend topping it with fresh parmesan cheese and parsley.

I serve this soup with lots of sliced garlic bread – to soak up every drop at the bottom of the bowl.  And when it’s reheated the next day it tastes like you just made it.

You’ll need these ingredients for the soup.

Hearty Italian Soup - Ingredients | yesilovewalmart.comHere’s how to make it.

Chop the vegetables and prepare all of the ingredients.  Rinse and drain the beans.  Remove 1½ c. beans to a small bowl.  Mash them until smooth.  Set the mashed and unmashed beans aside.

Hearty Italian Soup - Chop | yesilovewalmart.comHeat butter in a large 5 quart pot over med-high heat.  Cook vegetables, garlic, herbs, seasonings, and ground pepper for 15 minutes.  Stir every 3-4 minutes.

Hearty Italian Soup - CookSprinkle flour evenly over the top and stir to combine.  Stir in ham, tomatoes, broth, and mashed beans.  Increase heat to high and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 15 minutes.  During the last 5 minutes, stir in remaining beans.  Taste to check if there is enough salt and pepper.  Serve in bowls and sprinkle each with cheese and parsley.

Now it’s time to snuggle together and warm all of our little toes by the fireplace.

Try this hearty Italian bean soup, it tastes so good!

Raspberry Crumb Cakes – Tasty

March 12, 2017 by Jennifer 1 Comment

Raspberry Crumb Cakes | yesilovewalmart.com

Raspberry Crumb Cakes | yesilovewalmart.comThese little raspberry crumb cakes are fresh, moist, and tasty.  They are the perfect “bite size”.  I first saw them on the discounted “We Baked Too Much” rack.  My family and I were quickly wowed by them.

Raspberry Crumb Cakes - Box | yesilovewalmart.comRaspberry Crumb Cakes 16 oz.

There are eight 2 oz. cakes individually wrapped in the box.  It’s a nice size – great for lunches.

The cake is moist and sweet – they’re soft, even the crumb topping is soft.  The raspberry filling is like a jam.  It’s sweet enough so the raspberries are perfect, not too tart.

Raspberry Crumb Cakes - Wrapped | yesilovewalmart.comWe eat these crumb cakes as a quick snack or with a cup of coffee or juice.  And you could put them on a serving plate for a brunch or party.  Now we want to try their other flavor – cheese.

We’re hooked on raspberry crumb cakes.  I think you will like them!

See you at Walmart!

Spa Experience – Indulge

February 26, 2017 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Spa Experience | yesilovewalmart.com

Spa Experience | yesilovewalmart.comGoing to a spa is too expensive, you say?  You don’t want to take the time and it may even feel a bit selfish?

But you should take the time out of your busy life to treat yourself.  You need time to unwind, relax, be at peace from all distractions, and just be.  It’s OK to recharge your batteries and take a break for yourself.

Make your own “spa experience” at home.  You deserve a little alone time.  It doesn’t have to be for hours.  And don’t let your kids get in there with you.  Or it could turn into a swimming party.

Treat yourself.  Prepare a cold drink (a smoothie if you can).  Don’t forget to buy some of your favorite sweets, maybe even some chocolate.  Listen to music you enjoy – soothing music.  And dim the lights.

Spa Experience - Lilac Breeze Candle | yesilovewalmart.comMainstays™ Lilac Breeze Candle 20 0z.

Candles will give nice soft lighting.  Use scents that you like.  This lilac breeze candle exudes more than just lilac flowers.  You also detect aromatic greens, violet, woods, and a berry-infused musk.  The scents may lift you to a more peaceful feeling.  It’s a gentle lilac, not overpowering.   Lilac reminds me of the lilac bushes that grew in the corner of my parent’s back yard.

Spa Experience - Lavender Scented Epsom Salt | yesilovewalmart.comLavender Scented Epsom Salt Soaking Aid 1.5 lbs

Pour these aromatic bath salts in your warm tub water.  They can help relax and soothe your muscles.  The bath salt quickly dissolves and makes the water softer.  It’s a beautiful scent that remains even after the bath.

Relax.  Let go of all your worries and “to do list” thoughts.  In fact, don’t picture anything or anyone.  Focus on the candle scent, the nice warm water, and the taste of your “favorite sweet”.

Spa Experience - Passion Fruit Body Scrub | yesilovewalmart.comNSPA by Nirvana Spa™ Passion Fruit Shower Scrub 7.6 oz.

Soak for about 10 minutes (or more!).  Then use this granulated body scrub and a loofah to exfoliate your skin.  It will buff away dry dead skin and gently reveal fresh new smooth skin underneath.  Don’t forget your feet!  It has vitamins A, E, & B5 to nourish your skin.  You smell mostly passion fruit with a little bit of coconut.

Spa Experience - Moisturizing Lotion | yesilovewalmart.comAveeno™ Stress Relief Moisturizing Lotion 12 oz.

Dry off from your bath soak.  Now rub “moisturizing lotion” into your skin to lock in moisture.  It’s perfect during the dry winter months.  The lotion has a lavender scent with chamomile and ylang ylang oils in it.  It refreshes your skin.

Spa Experience - Mist Body Spray | yesilovewalmart.comBody Fantasies Signature Twilight Mist Body Spray 3.2 oz.

This body spray is fruity, floral, and earthy.   It’s light, pleasant, and pretty.  The spray is not overwhelming – even with all the scents.  It has mandarin, coconut, and plum scents.  The flower scents are magnolia, tuberosa, tiger, orchid, and violet.  And it has earthy scents of sandalwood, musk, tonka bean, and vanilla. The body spray is a small size.  So, it easily fits in a purse or a travel bag.

Take time to decompress and de-stress.  It’s OK to take 30 minutes or even an hour to have some serenity and indulge.   A candle sets the mood and gives you soft lighting. The warm bath salt water helps you relax.  The scrub revives your skin.  The lotion soothes and nourishes it.  And the spray gives a nice lingering reminder of your “spa experience”.

So, indulge yourself or give this spa to someone who needs to be refreshed!  Put these items together in a gift bag with a special note for a new mom, your sister, or a friend.

See you at Walmart!

Valentine Shirts | yesilovewalmart.comValentine shirts are fun – because you can wear them any time of the year.  I’m all for wearing t-shirts about love.  These fashionable t-shirts look cute with jeans or layered under a cardigan.  They are comfortable and made from cotton.  And a few shirts catch your eye with metallic colors.

Valentine Shirts - Meow | yesilovewalmart.comLanguage of Love Valentine’s Day Graphic T-Shirt – Women’s – Black

This black tee is sweet.  It shows the word “love” in other languages.  The word “love” is printed in a striking metallic red.  And behind the words, you can see a “lock and key” in gray.

Valentine Shirts - Love Words | yesilovewalmart.comLove at First Meow Valentine’s Day Graphic T-Shirt – Women’s – Black

Valentine Gift Ideas – Not Just for Girls

February 6, 2017 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Valentines Gifts | yesilovewalmart.com

These gifts are perfect for Valentines.  And they could be given to teachers, friends or even your guy.  They are nice for any time – a birthday or even Christmas – because love should be given all year.   Here are the gifts that caught my eye – lip balm, necklaces, stuffed plushes, and even a hat.

When my girls were just toddlers I loved surprising them with Valentine gifts.  I’d wrap them in beautiful pink tissue paper.  They opened their gifts together – to be shared – since they were gifts of love.  I still continue the tradition now that they’re older.

Valentines Gifts | yesilovewalmart.comStuffed Animals – Banana Foodie, Toast Foodie, Strawberry Foodie, Tea Foodie, and Donut Foodie

These stuffed animals are so cute.  And their tags have sayings like “Without you I’m toast.” and “I’m donuts about you.”  I pounced on these when I saw them because – my daughters are crazy about Shopkins™, which are similar.

Valentines Gifts - Toast | yesilovewalmart.comThey are velvety, soft, squishy, and use bright colors.  Each animal is around 7-7½”, but the banana is 6 x 10½”.

Valentines Gifts - Donut | yesilovewalmart.comThese animals would be a great gift topper for your man.  You could tie the banana to a loaf of banana bread, put the donut on a box of his favorite donuts, or attach the strawberry to a berry pie.  It’s a cute way to give him food (which is what he really wants.)

Valentines Gifts - Necklace | yesilovewalmart.com18” Necklace with Greeting Card

The two sweet birds sitting on this gold necklace are so cute.  The card says “My love grows for you every day.”  The branch they’re sitting on is 2” long. “You make my tail wag” is what the second card says.  The tiny ½ x 1” silver pendant says “Love you more.”  Both cards are 3½ x 5”.  It’s a unique way to give a Valentine card.

Valentines Gifts - Hershey Kiss | yesilovewalmart.comHershey™ Kisses Lip Balm – Classic Chocolate, Mint Truffle, and Raspberry Crème

Hershey kisses and lip balm together?!!  What a great combination.  I bought one of these and really liked it.  Classic Chocolate, Mint Truffle, and Raspberry Crème were our favorite scents.  And they have a pink Cherry Cordial too.

The balms go on smoothly and are made with jojoba oil and shea butter.  They really do smell like their names.  When you open them you see that the balm is in the shape of a kiss.  Each little kiss container is silky soft.  They’re 1½ x 1½”.  They’re too cute and would make a great teacher gift.

Valentines Gifts - Plush Toy | yesilovewalmart.comValentine’s Day 15″ Large Animal Plush Toy – Rainbow Bear

This year in the stuffed animal Valentine section, I found amazing giant teddies and monkeys that could literally hug you with their long arms.  But this precious bear was the one that came home with me.

He was perfectly squeezable, not stiff.  The fur is sooooo soft.  I love the vibrant neon colored hearts on it and the sheer red bow.  I especially liked his large size.  He’s 2’ tall in length but he can also sit.

Valentines Gifts - Hat | yesilovewalmart.comFaded Glory™ 2 Piece Cuff Beanie Set – Be Mine Blue

This is such a pretty hat and glove set.  It’s super soft and stretchy too.  Love the puff ball, snowflakes, and the silver metallic threading.

So, give something nice to the ones you love for Valentine’s Day.  Share your love!

See you at Walmart!

Colorful Layered Veggie Chip Dip

February 1, 2017 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Veggie Chip Dip | yesilovewalmart.com

I bet you’d like to do a full body dive into this tasty dip.  It sure attracts a crowd at a party – with the different layers and pretty colors.

We love the creamy bottom layer.  It has great seasonings – garlic, pepper, dill, and thyme.  The dip is topped with layers of chopped vegetables to scoop up with your chip.  You can add olives or mushrooms.  My husband likes jalapenos on it.

Carrots, celery, and cucumbers go really well with this dip.  And it is perfect for tortilla chips, ridged chips, and thin wheat crackers.

You’ll need these items from Walmart.

Here’s how you make it.

Cream Cheese Layer. In a medium bowl, with a mixer set on medium speed, combine the cream cheese and sour cream.  Add salt, pepper, garlic salt, dill, thyme, and cracked pepper and mix until well blended.

Scoop that mixture into a large 9 x 13” platter.  Use a scraper to spread it out and make it even and smooth.  Refrigerate it for 30 minutes.

Avocado Layer.  Put the avocados in a small bowl.  Toss them with a small amount of lemon juice (to keep them from turning brown).  Evenly spread out the avocado pieces on the cream cheese layer about ¼ inch in from all of the edges.  I made an outline first, then filled it in.

Tomato Layer.  Put diced tomatoes on the avocado layer – about ¼ inch in from the edge of the avocado layer.

Onion Layer.  Put onion on the tomato layer – about ¼ inch in from the edge of the tomato layer.

Bell Pepper Layer.  Put bell peppers on the onion layer – about ¼ inch in from the edge of the onion layer.

Cheese Layer.  Put cheese on the bell pepper layer – about ¼ inch in from the edge of the bell pepper layer.

Cilantro Layer.  Put cilantro on the cheese layer – about ¼ inch in from the edge of the cheese layer.

Serve with crackers, chips, and veggies.

This recipe will feed a crowd.  It is served on a large 9 x 13” platter.

Are you ready for this year’s Super Bowl?!  Our kids love to watch the game and root for Dad’s favorite team.  They make posters for each team.  And the girls dig out their pompoms to cheer them on.  Plus, we all love the commercials – especially the funny and heartwarming ones.

But the best part is eating chips, veggies, and dip during the big game.  So, enjoy the Super Bowl – we hope your team wins!

Adorable Felt Snow Girl

January 23, 2017 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Felt Snow Girl | yesilovewalmart.com

Don’t you just love this adorable little snow girl?  She was so much fun to make.

Now I want to make a whole family of snow people!  Can you believe she started out as a gingerbread girl?  As I was choosing the ribbon and dress colors my daughter suggested she become a snow girl instead.  I’m so glad she did.

She would look cute alone as an ornament or she can be sewn on an apron, pillow, or towel.  You can change the ribbon colors, dress color, or add beads or sequins.  She could be holding something as well.

The finished size for the snow girl is 4 x 5”.  If you want to make her smaller, reduce the size of the pattern and use thinner ribbon.  You could also enlarge her into a stuffed lovey.  As I created her, I used sewing thread so the stitches wouldn’t show.

Here’s what you’ll need to buy.

  • Rainbow Classic Craft Felt – white, pink, orange (IN STORES ONLY) $.23 (I used a shade of pink that was not available at Walmart.)
  • 3/8” Offray™ swiss dot pink polka dot ribbon $ 1.00
  • Blue and green polka dot ribbon (Not available at Walmart)
  • Thread: light blue, black, white, light pink, pink, green
  • 2 (4 mm) miniature black buttons
  • DMC™ black embroidery floss #310 33¢
  • Watercolor set with pink in it
  • 2 mini 2/8” wide red Blumenthal Lansing Favorite Findings™ heart shaped buttons $2.29
  • Thin silver metallic cording
  • Polyester fiberfill stuffing

She looks adorable!  So be creative – make her for an ornament, apron, pillow, towel – anything.

Southwest Salad – My Favorite

January 14, 2017 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Southwest Salad - Open | yesilovewalmart.com

Southwest Salad - Open | yesilovewalmart.comThe Southwest Salad is my all-time favorite salad (from Walmart).  If you need a quick fresh salad with tasty flavors, this is the one.  It “packs a kick” with jalapenos in the pico de gallo, the dressing, and the crunchy topping.

The salad is crisp with both iceberg and romaine lettuce in it.  Sprinkled throughout are grated carrots and red cabbage.  There is a good amount of grilled chicken breast heaped on top.

They include three cheeses in their nacho cheese blend – Cheddar, Colby, and Monterey jack.  All are flavored with nacho taco seasoning.

Pico de gallo is included in a cup.  It uses the standard ingredients: tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and jalapeno peppers.

The crunchy topping is fried tortilla strips, red pepper, and jalapenos.  They’re all yummy but that fried jalapeno gives you a surprising jolt.

Now the creamy Southwest Chipotle Ranch Dressing makes it all come together.  It has a smoky flavor, buttermilk, garlic, onion, and a big kick from the chipotle peppers.  I wish they sold this dressing by the bottle because it would perk up any salad.

Southwest Salad | yesilovewalmart.comMarketside™ Southwest Salad (1 lb, 1.25 oz)  (IN STORES ONLY) $3.98

This is a big salad so it’s a good thing it comes with TWO forks.  It’s great for a lunch salad that “wakes you up” at work.  And it would go perfectly with a Mexican dinner.

I like to mix the salad all together in another bowl and take it to an event.  People are surprised and impressed by the flavors.

The Southwest Salad has just the right amount of heat, texture, crunch, and flavor.  It’s my favorite!

See you at Walmart!

Christmas Ornaments Kids Love

December 23, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Christmas Ornaments - Cones | yesilovewalmart.com

My kids love to decorate the tree.  And when they get to choose ornaments– they think it’s awesome.  These are fun Christmas ornaments kids will love.

Every ornament on our tree is special to us.  They bring back so many memories – like the time our tree fell over.

Has your Christmas tree ever fallen over?  Mine has.  You might think we had too many ornaments on it.  Or that my kids hung them all on one side.  But no, out of the blue, it just started tipping – in what seemed like slow motion.

Moms have super powers in emergencies, you know.  I don’t normally have quick reflexes.  But, I bolted in there and caught the tree before it was halfway over.  Apparently catching your Christmas tree is right up there with catching a baby.

So, we broke a few glass ornaments that day.  But these ornaments are great replacements for any that have broken over the years.

Christmas Ornaments - Kids Love | yesilovewalmart.comHoliday Time™ Snowman Ornament  (IN STORES ONLY) $1.94

I couldn’t resist this colorful snowman.  She’s wearing a precious knit hat and scarf with little yarn bumps of snow on them.  Her body is clear but filled with translucent tinsel.  I love the pom pom buttons down the front – such a cutie!  It’s 3 x 3½ x 5”.

Christmas Ornaments - Dogs | yesilovewalmart.comHoliday Time™ Balloon Dog Ornament  (IN STORES ONLY)  $1.68

These adorable balloon dog ornaments come in red, blue, pink, gold, and silver.  I love their shiny metallic finish.  Both of my girls are very good at tying balloons so they’ll like these.

Holiday Time™ Block Twist Ornaments (IN STORES ONLY) $1.68

Kids won’t be able to resist twisting the blocks on these characters.  They can change up their body parts.  The four styles are:  nutcracker, gnome, Santa, and snowman.  They’re 1½ x 1½ x 4½” in size.

Holiday Time™ Puff Ball Snowman Ornament  (IN STORES ONLY)  $1.68

These super cute snowmen are see through and have puff balls inside them.  I like the scarf and glitter on their mittens and hat.  They come in four colors:  blue, purple, green, and red/black.  They’re 3½ x 2½ x 4½”.

Holiday Time™ Ice Cream/Popsicle Ornament (IN STORES ONLY)  $.98

These colorful metallic sweets are lightweight.  Both come in purple, blue, pink, and orange colors.  The popsicle is 2¼ x ¾ x 5” and the cone is 2¾ x 5¼”.  They’re topped with metallic beads and stars.  They look so good – you wish they were real.

My kids like having ornaments just for them.  So add some fun to your tree – your kids will thank you.

See you at Walmart!

Christmas Decor – Special

December 11, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Christmas Decor - Special| yesilovewalmart.com

For Christmas, I love big decorations on my front porch or entryway.  I want guests to enjoy my decor when they first come in.

These nutcrackers, tinsel decor, and lighted hanging sphere are very nice.  Small decorations are easy to decide on.  But a big item requires space for storage – so it has to be special.

Holiday Time™ Glitter Decor Nutcracker (IN STORES ONLY) $19.74

This nutcracker has black marabou feathers that look like real fur.  I adore the detailed snowflakes on his shoulders and boots.  He has large rhinestones and thick glitter.

He’s in a 3-D form that’s open on the back so he can rest against a wall.  But this makes him lightweight and delicate so he’d probably be better indoors.  He’s 10” wide, 4” deep, and 2¾’ tall.

Holiday Time™ Christmas 33” Wooden Nutcracker Decor $19.74

Here’s a stunning nutcracker greeter made of wood.  He has a very sturdy base.  I like the colorful glitter, the fur on his beard, and the ribbon on the present.  He’s 12” wide, 4½” deep, and 2¾’ tall.

Holiday Time™ Candy Cane Tinsel Decoration (IN STORES ONLY) $7.44

You can’t miss these large tinsel candy canes.  The shiny bow and holly in the center look good.  The thick metallic tinsel makes these stand out.  When we put this in front of our house or fence – it can easily be seen from the street.  It hangs from a loop at the top and is 1½ x 1½’.

Holiday Time™ Tinsel Sleigh Decor (IN STORES ONLY)  $7.94

This tinsel sleigh is really special.  It has stripes along the runners, holly on the side, and is open in the middle.   So it can hold Christmas letters, goody bags, sweets, or decorative ornaments.  It is 14” wide, 9½” tall, and 5¼” deep.

Holiday Time™ Christmas Lights 8” Outdoor Light up Metal LED Sphere $11.84

This hanging sphere comes in silver or gold and is big at 8” wide.  It’s striking with the scrollwork and pretty red glitter.  Small lights are all over the sphere to give it a bright glow.  You can see it light up if you press the “try it” button.

And it has a timer to set the lights for 6 hours and is off for 18.  The lights can be set at:  steady on, flashing, and fading.  There are 18 cool-to-the-touch LED lights.  Plus, if one burns out the rest remain lit.  It operates on 3 AA batteries.

This Christmas decor is special.  You will enjoy it for many years.

See you at Walmart!

Pancakes for Kids – Cat Shaped

November 26, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Pancakes for Kids | yesilovewalmart.com

pancakes-for-kidsMy kids love pancakes.  I bought this cat shaped pan/pancake mix set last Christmas for my daughter.  She was tickled to unwrap it on Christmas morning so she could  make kitty pancakes.

She was able to make them, just by following the directions on the box.  But, with each pancake I could hear her frustration – they weren’t turning out well.  They didn’t taste that good, were sticking to the pan, and weren’t looking cute.

So, we made some changes to help her succeed.  We used Bisquick™ mix for the batter – to make the pancakes taste better.  Then, we tried different ways to make the pancakes look nice.

And we had success!  She was thrilled when we finally ate our first beautiful cat pancake.

So, in the Pancakes for Kids – Cat Shaped – Directions, I share my tips to create great pancakes with this mix set.

pancakes-for-kids-skillet-setMarie Callender’s™ Homestyle Pancake Mix and Skillet Set  – Cat (IN STORES ONLY) $5.00 (You can also buy cow and monkey shaped pans.)

You’ll need:

pancakes-for-kids-ingredients | yesilovewalmart.comBaker’s Joy™ The Original No-Stick Baking Spray with Flour 5 oz. $2.35

Garlic Herb Mashed Potatoes

November 22, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Garlic Herb Mashed Potatoes | yesilovewalmart.com

garlic-herb-mashed-potatoes | Yesilovewalmart.comMashed potatoes are a critical element at most holiday dinners.  And this recipe is so creamy and delicious.  It has great garlic, herbs, cheeses, and cream. You really should try my mashed potato recipe.

First you sauté an herb mixture (green onions, garlic, thyme, and chives) in salted sweet cream butter, then, you add in creamy dairy goodness (cream cheese, Brie cheese, and whipping cream).  And season it to perfection.

Great Tip:  Make the mashed potatoes the night before and refrigerate them.  Then, right before your special dinner just pop them in the oven for 15 minutes.

Your potatoes will be hot, creamy, and cheesy.  You’ll be treated to a big flavor of butter, garlic, and herbs.  It might be hard to keep from eating the whole dish.

Here’s what you’ll need to make them.

These are the items you may not already have in your pantry.

Shenandoah Growers™ Fresh Herbs (Thyme and Chives) ¾ oz.$1.98 ea.

Here’s how to make them.

garlic-herb-mashed-potatoes | Yesilovewalmart.comWith a mixer, mash the potatoes, onion/butter mixture, cream cheese, whipping cream, salt, and 1½ tsp. pepper on low to then medium speed.  Mix until everything is nicely blended together.  It will be thick.  Don’t add additional whipping cream. (It will thin when it’s baked in the oven with the Brie.) Taste it to adjust the seasoning if needed.

These mashed potatoes are a step above – they are delicious.  I hope you have a very happy and filling Thanksgiving.

Fall Lace Tops – Comfortable

November 17, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Fall Lace Tops | yesilovewalmart.com

fall-lace-tops | yesilovewalmart.comThese comfortable lace tops are the perfect colors for fall – warm burgundy, flaming red, beautiful gold, medium olive green, and strong navy.

The weather is starting to cool down now.  So, I’ve been on the hunt to find just the right colors to welcome the changing season.

The tops are soft, lightweight, and colorful.  They show off their delicate lace.  And the details make each one unique.

fall-lace-tops-burgundy | yesilovewalmart.comNo Boundaries Brushed Hacci Henley Long Sleeve Top with Scarf – Burgundy – Juniors $12.88

This top has a warm burgundy color.   Look at the sweet lace trim across the front of the shoulders.  The sleeves have stretchy woven lace that is about 5½” long. The fabric is stretchy and soft so it almost feels like a thin sweater.  It’s tailored for a fitted look.

Each of these Hacci tops comes with an infinity scarf.  Its single length is 45” so it is intended to be doubled which gives it a length of 21”.  It falls at just the right place below the buttons.

fall-lace-tops-red-rover | yesilovewalmart.comNo Boundaries Thermal Henley – Red Rover – Juniors (IN STORES ONLY) $ 9.88

The “Red Rover” is perfect to wear during the upcoming holidays – Christmas and Valentine’s Day.  This cute thermal top has lace along the front.  The sheer half diamond lace area in the back is high enough that your bra won’t show.

The elbow sleeves have a little elastic inside to give it a ruched look.  It has a rounded hemline on the front and back.

fall-lace-tops-gold-heather | yesilovewalmart.comFaded Glory Long Sleeve Thermal Henley – Septre Gold Heather – Women’s $7.96

Notice the beautiful gold color of this Henley.  It has a thermal texture and a V-neckline.  This form fitting Henley will keep you warm.  It would be great to use in a layered look.

fall-lace-tops-olive | yesilovewalmart.comNo Boundaries Long Sleeve Embellished V-Neck Top – Olive – Juniors $9.88

The embellished olive V-Neck has a thin material with a textured weave.  The lace has intricate detail and is sheer (on the shoulders, in the center, and down the front) so you’ll need a camisole under it.  The three small pearl-like buttons are nice.

fall-lace-tops-navy | yesilovewalmart.comNo Boundaries Knit Baby Doll Top – Navy – Juniors $9.88

This baby doll navy top feels lightweight and is breezy along the bottom.  The lace trim on the front and the stunning flower and scrollwork panel on the back are sheer.  So you’ll need a camisole inside it.  The soft fabric gathers around the wrists.

With scarves, elbow sleeves, thermal warmth, textured fabric, and incredible lace – it’s hard to choose.  But I know you will look beautiful and be comfortable in these fall lace tops.

See you at Walmart!

Hamburger Cabbage Stuffed Buns

November 10, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Hamburger Cabbage Buns | yesilovewalmart.com

hamburger-cabbage-stuffed-buns | yesilovewalmart.comWant a bite of heaven?  Then you have to try these amazing hamburger cabbage stuffed buns.

The yeast-made bun is sweet and soft.  It’s cooked to a golden brown and smothered with butter.  The inside is stuffed with a savory mix of seasoned hamburger, cabbage, carrots, potato, onion, and garlic.

Warm, right out of the oven is when my family loves to eat them.  You’ll smell the buttered yeast roll first.  It’s a flavorful pocket bite of sweet bread with a garlicky meat and vegetable mixture.  The buns are the perfect size so it’s like a little meal in one.

These meat and cabbage buns are called Bierocks.  Bless the Germans who brought them to America (probably to celebrate Oktoberfest).  But, these buns are perfect for any meal.

My favorite Oktoberfest event sells these warm little buns along with sausages, sauerkraut, roast chickens, pretzels, and potato salad.  And Oktoberfest brings back memories of music too.  You can’t help but dance to the songs or at least tap along.  Together with everyone at our table we danced “The Chicken Dance”.  You’re still humming the tune on the way home.  Oktoberfest is a great time to party!

This recipe makes a lot – 24.  But once the buns come out of the oven they’re eaten quickly.

Here’s what you’ll need to make them.

hamburger-cabbage-stuffed-buns-supplies | yesilovewalmart.comBuns

In a small bowl, stir yeast in very warm water until it dissolves then set aside.

hamburger-cabbage-stuffed-buns-buns1 | yesilovewalmart.comIn a separate medium-size bowl, combine sugar, salt, and melted 1 stick butter.  Microwave milk on high for 60 seconds, and stir it into the sugar mixture.  Let it cool.  Then add eggs and the yeast.  Stir.

hamburger-cabbage-stuffed-buns-buns2 | yesilovewalmart.comStir in 3 c. flour and beat with a mixer on medium speed until smooth.

hamburger-cabbage-stuffed-buns-bun3Add 2½ c. more flour and stir until dough is soft.

Place the dough onto a floured surface.  Knead it and add in just enough flour (about ½ c.) until it isn’t sticky and feels smooth (about 6-8 minutes).

Shape it into a ball.  Put it in a large greased bowl, turn it over and let rise until doubled (about 1 hour).

hamburger-cabbage-stuffed-buns-buns3 | yesilovewalmart.comMeat and Cabbage Filling

Brown the hamburger in a skillet on medium-high heat.  Drain off the grease.  Set aside.

In a dutch oven or large pot, cook the vegetables, garlic, and ½ stick of butter over medium-high heat, and stir frequently.  When they are soft, add the meat.  Stir in the salt, and pepper and then taste it to see if it needs more.

hamburger-cabbage-stuffed-buns-meat-cabbage1 | yesilovewalmart.comWhen dough has doubled, prepare baking sheets lined with parchment paper.  Punch down the dough and let it rest for about 5 minutes.

Roll dough out on a large floured surface to a size of 24 x 24”.  Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 4” squares.

hamburger-cabbage-stuffed-buns-meat-cabbage2 | yesilovewalmart.comPut 2 T. of meat/cabbage mixture in the center of each square.  Pull opposite corners of the dough to each other, and pinch together.  Then bring the other corners in and pinch.  Also pull in any openings and pinch them in that center.  Place bottom side down on parchment sheet.  Make sure it looks dome-shaped.

Let rise for 20-30 minutes.  Preheat oven to 375°.  Bake for 10-11 minutes, turning halfway through.  Immediately brush the tops with cold butter.  This makes 24 buns.

So, put your dirndl (dress) and apron on.  And enjoy making these special little buns of love.

Guten Appetit! (Enjoy your meal!)

Fall – Scarecrow, Pumpkins – Decorate

November 4, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Fall Scarecrows Pumpkins | yesilovewalmart.com

I am happy that fall is finally here. I love it when the temperature cools and the leaves change their colors.   This scarecrow, pumpkin fall decor will bring warmth into your home.

Our favorite place to go to soak in the beauty of fall is a farm near our town.  There you can pick pumpkins in their patch or apples in their huge orchard.  It’s usually sunny but chilly.  After a long hot summer we’re happy to have cool weather.

We are all excited to go on a hayride, when we arrive.  So we all snuggle in close.  We like the beauty of the different colored trees.  My favorites are the orange and burgundy leaves.

It’s always tough deciding on our favorite pumpkin.  So we usually end up taking several tiny (aka baby) ones home too.  They need a loving home, right?

We love the steamy hot cider that comes straight from the fresh apples.  The smell of the trees, pumpkin vines, and the cider is wonderful.  It’s so refreshing just being there together.

Here are my favorite picks to help bring a little outdoor beauty into your home.

The large gold metal pumpkin with large sunflowers and pumpkin gourds makes a beautiful centerpiece.  It will look impressive on your Thanksgiving table.  It is about 9 x 12” and looks great from any side.

Face Painting Colorful

October 25, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Face Painting Colorful Model1 | yesilovewalmart.com

face-painting-colorful-model1Face painting brings a colorful and fun look to your face.

My kids love to get their face painted – ever since they were little. It’s amazing how a little paint can transform kids into animals, clowns, pirates – just about anything.

When they finally get to see themselves in a mirror they just light up – so proud of their new look.  My girls especially love to choose butterflies or flowers.  The more color and glitter the better.

To paint the face, I used a “coloring book” technique that worked really well.  First I painted the outline of the butterfly and flowers.  Then I filled in the outline with the colored paint.

face-painting-colorful-model2This technique is easy to do and does not involve a lot of erasing (wiping off).  I used an eyeliner and a paint that could be easily wiped off – in case I made a mistake.

And don’t be discouraged if it takes a few tries to get it right.  Faces are 3-D and not an easy flat canvas.  Plus, you’re painting with your hand up in the air.  But, your child can lay down on a sofa or bed; it makes painting their face easier.

Here’s what you need to create this look:

face-painting-colorful-supplies

  • Glitter Fashion Makeup Set  (IN STORES ONLY) $6.98 (This is the “face paint”)
  • Rimmel London™ Colour Precise Eyeliner – White .042 oz. $5.47
  • Cotton swabs
  • Wet wipe cloths
  • Small paint brushes
  • Tissues
  • Optional:  Fright Night™ Frightening Lashes, Pixie Dust (IN STORES ONLY) $4.98

This paint set is nice for beginners to use and it is reasonably priced.  A child or teen can use it paint their own face.  Or Mom and Dad can use it to create a fun look for their child.

Here is what we learned when using the paint set.

Good:

  • Paint wipes off if you make a mistake
  • Pretty colors
  • Easy size to hold

Not so good:

  • Paint can smear, if you touch it. It does not dry.
  • Crayons are hard to see on skin
  • Glitter gel is faintly visible
  • A few of the colors can leave light stains – but scrubbing takes it off.

We had fun with this face paint set.   I like the “coloring book” technique.  We loved using rainbows in the design.  This set gave me some wonderful colors to work with.

So, give this face painting look a try, you and your kids will have fun!

Halloween Party Fun

October 15, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Halloween Party Fun | yesilovewalmart.com

halloween-party-fun | yesilovewalmart.comI adore these fun Halloween party items; they all come together so well.  For a children’s Halloween party these decorations are eye-catching, colorful, and adorable.

For my first Halloween party, I remember bobbing for apples.  How hard could it be to get an apple out of a big pot of water?  All it takes is one big bite, right?

I tried to get a bite, but the apple only got pushed down into the water.  No, there weren’t any stems to latch onto.  It took me forever to finally push it against the edge.  Both my costume and I got very wet.

I also got to see “dry ice” for the first time at that party.  My friend’s mom made a large pot of red punch.  Then she added dry ice and we were completely mesmerized.  It was such a cool thing to blow the “fog” and put our hands through it.

These Halloween party supplies are designed to be cute, but not scary.  Little ones will like the happy little characters.

halloween-party-fun-bags | yesilovewalmart.comCello Treat Bags with Ties, 20 count (In Stores Only) $.97

These two Cello Treat Bags are my favorite in the series.  My kids would love to receive one of these.  But shopping for all of the special goodies – to put in the bag, is my favorite thing to do. They’re 5 x 9”.

halloween-party-fun-pails | yesilovewalmart.comMini Pail (In Stores Only) $.97

Mini buckets are so useful at a party.  They can hold candy or be used for games.  Sometimes I fill them with sweets and toys to give out to the children.  These mini pails are metal, colorful, and shiny.  After a party, my kids tie strings to them and use them as lift elevators on our stairs. They’re 4½ x 4” in size.  halloween-party-fun-napkin | yesilovewalmart.comLuncheon Napkins – Trick or Treat Spider 2 Ply, 18 count (In Stores Only) $.97

Large bright orange napkins are a nice contrast to the purple plates.  They’re 6½ x 6½”.

halloween-party-fun-notebook | yesilovewalmart.comGoogly Eye Notebook 4.5” x 4.5” (In Stores Only) $.97

Googly eye notebooks make great party favors.  Or they can be used in a writing game.  They’re a good size at 4½ x 4½”.

halloween-party-fun-plates | yesilovewalmart.comPlates – Trick or Treat, 10 count, 6.8” (In Stores Only) $.97

Plates – Trick or Treat Pumpkins, 8 count, 8½” (In Stores Only) $.97

The Trick or Treat party plates jump out at you with their purple color.  And the smaller plate has really fun characters on it.  Your kids will want to use them (even before Halloween).

So, bring a little Halloween fun home now – your kids will like it.

See you at Walmart!

Pumpkin Face Door Greeter

October 8, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Pumpkin Face Door Greeter | yesIlovewalmart.com

pumpkin-face-door-greeter | yesIlovewalmart.comTrick or Treaters can see this happy pumpkin face door greeter when they walk down your street.  He’s all about giving out candy with a very happy smile.

You’ll like how easy this pumpkin face is to make.  Kids can’t help but smile when they see him.  And you can add a few empty candy boxes or wrappers to his mouth if you want.

pumpkin-face-door-greeter-candy | yesIlovewalmart.comOn Halloween, we decorate and turn on our porch lights so kids can easily see us.  We love the tradition of handing out sweets to kids in costumes.

My uncle loved to play pranks on people.  One Halloween night he dressed as a ghost.  He put a big sheet over himself and cut out holes for his eyes.  Then, he went to his friend’s house next door.  His friend was quite surprised to see such a large trick or treater. He had a large bowl of candy and was ready to give my uncle a few pieces.

But, my uncle took the whole bowl of candy.  His neighbor friend just stood there frozen – with his arms out still holding the imaginary bowl.  His mouth dropped open unknowing how to respond – since the trick or treater was bigger than him.

My uncle only made it a few steps down the sidewalk before he burst out laughing.  He was laughing so hard he could hardly speak as he took the sheet off to reveal himself.

He and his neighbor got the biggest laugh out of that prank.  Hopefully no trick or treaters will walk off with your whole bowl of candy.

Here’s what you’ll need to make the pumpkin face door greeter

pumpkin-face-door-greeter-supplies | yesIlovewalmart.com

  • Hallmark™ orange reversible heavy weight gift wrap paper 25 sq ft. (In Stores Only) $3.98
  • Astrobrights™ cardstock – Neon 8.5 x 11” (In Stores Only) $3.97
  • Black construction paper 6 x 7½”
  • 4 sheets of cardstock
  • Green marker
  • Optional: candy wrappers or boxes (none that are yellow)
  • Pumpkin Face Patterns

We change how we decorate the front porch each year.  So next Halloween we’ll hang him on an inside door.  Then we’ll be able to enjoy his happy face too.

pumpkin-face-door-greeter-two-doors | yesIlovewalmart.comThe pumpkin face door greeter will definitely add some fun to your neighborhood, even if you don’t hand out candy on Halloween.

Original Potato Salad

October 1, 2016 by Jennifer 2 Comments

Original Potato Salad | yesilovewalmart.com

original-potato-salad | yesilovewalmart.comThe “Original Potato Salad” from the Deli is tasty and nourishing.  You will appreciate the traditional taste of this potato salad.  It has the flavors and ingredients you expect – just like the potato salad your mom made.

When I’m planning for a picnic or a day-camping trip, potato salad is the first thing that comes to my mind.  Hot dogs, hamburgers and chips are just lonely on a plate without potato salad.  Isn’t it kind of un-American to have a picnic without potato salad?

It takes some time to make a good potato salad though…  Sometimes we plan last minute outdoor get-togethers.  So I’ve got to have a ready-made salad that can travel easily and be one that everyone loves.

If the salad doesn’t taste good, it can almost ruin a beautiful picnic.  It has to taste good.  And I mean so good, that you want seconds.  It also has to taste like either the one you make or your great great grandmother made.

original-potato-salad-container | yesilovewalmart.comWalmart Deli™ Original Potato Salad 16 oz. (In stores only.) $2.17

Of course, potato salad has been in existence forEVER.  But you’d be surprised to find out that not every store gets it right.  I’m so glad Walmart knows how to make Original Potato Salad.

The potatoes are diced in pretty good size pieces.  They’re just right, being both tender and firm.  Meaning, they hold their shape but melt as you eat them.

It has just the right amount of mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, mustard, and salt.  It’s nice and thick.  Everything stays together when it’s scooped up.  In every bite you taste the celery, onion, and red bell pepper.  I love the crunch of the sweet pickle relish.

But, I recommend buying a larger container because everyone will want “seconds”.  The 16 oz. box won’t be big enough, it only serves about 2-3 people.

It tastes so good you’ll want to let the flavors linger.  Dessert may just have to wait.

See you at Walmart!

El Dorado Casserole

September 25, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

El Dorado Casserole | yesilovewalmart.com

el-dorado-casserole | yesilovewalmart.comEl Dorado Casserole is easy to make.  It has two layers you mix – a meat layer and a sour cream layer.  Then you add a layer of cheese, and a layer of tortilla chips.

You’re definitely going to taste the garlic and onion in the meat layer.  And you’ll experience a little kick from the green chilies in the sour cream layer.  You’ll love the melted cheese and the crunch from the tortilla chips.  It all comes together beautifully into a delicious Mexican inspired dish.

If you’re a friend of mine and you’ve just had a baby or gotten out of the hospital this is the casserole I’m going to bring you.  You’re welcome.

We learned over the years, that it is better to give “smaller-sized” dishes to people.  For us, it was overwhelming to eat a very large dish all at one meal.  Since, within two days of receiving a meal, another friend would bring over another dish.  So the leftovers never got eaten; half of it usually went to waste.

Now, when I make this casserole I put it into TWO 8 inch square aluminum pans.  One pan for our friends and one for us.

When I deliver the casserole to a friend, I cover the pan with aluminum foil and write on it FREEZE OR UNCOVER AND BAKE AT 350º FOR 35 MINS.

So if your friend has plenty of meals in the fridge, this casserole is ready to freeze for later – when the meals stop coming.  They can bake it and have enough until the next meal comes.

el-dorado-casserole-salad-bread | yesilovewalmart.comAnd both families also get half of a large salad, half of a loaf of garlic bread, and half of a dessert.  This way, each family gets a whole dinner, not just one dish.

Here’s what you’ll need to make it.

el-dorado-casserole-ingredients | yesilovewalmart.com

  • Ground Beef Chuck Hamburger 80% lean, 20% fat (1-½ lbs.) (IN STORES ONLY) $3.66/lb.
  • 2 cans Great Value™ Tomato Sauce (8 oz. ea.)  (IN STORES ONLY) $.33 ea
  • Great Value™ Garlic Salt 5.25 oz. (IN STORES ONLY) $1.98
  • Great Value™ Minced Onion 2 oz. (IN STORES ONLY)$2.44
  • 2 cans Great Value™ Sliced Black California Ripe Olives (2.25 oz. ea.)  (IN STORES ONLY) $1.53
  • Great Value™ Small Curd Cottage Cheese 16 oz. (IN STORES ONLY) $1.98
  • Daisy™ Sour Cream 8 oz. (IN STORES ONLY) $1.34
  • 1 sm. can Great Value™ Chopped Green Chilies 4 oz. (IN STORES ONLY) $.68
  • 2 Bags Great Value™ Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese (8 oz. ea.) (IN STORES ONLY) $2.22
  • Tostitos™ Bite Size White Corn Tortilla Chips 13 oz. (I recommend brand name for this.) (IN STORES ONLY) $2.88

Here’s how I make it.

el-dorado-casserole-hamburger | yesilovewalmart.comIn a skillet, brown hamburger on medium heat.  Drain off grease.  Add tomato sauce, olives, garlic salt, and minced onion.  Mix. Set aside.  Preheat oven to 350º

el-dorado-casserole-sour-cream-cheese | yesilovewalmart.comIn a small bowl, combine cottage cheese, sour cream, and green chilies.  Set aside.

Grease a 9 x 13 casserole dish with butter (or two 8” square baking pans).  Spread half the tortilla chips on the bottom of the dish.

el-dorado-casserole-add-meat | yesilovewalmart.comCover with half of the meat mixture.

el-dorado-casserole-add-cheese | yesilovewalmart.comSpread half of the cottage cheese mixture on top of the meat layer, then top with half the cheese.

Repeat all of the layers.  Bake uncovered for 35 minutes.  Let stand for about 10 minutes.

My family is pretty happy when someone needs a meal because they get to enjoy this little treasure.

Enjoy, your family will like it too.

Colorful Mascara, Rainbow Eyeshadow

September 15, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Colorful Mascara | yesilovewalmart.com

colorful-mascara | yesilovewalmart.comColorful mascara and rainbow eyeshadow are hot beauty trends right now. YOU can look beautiful and have fun with these mascaras and eyeshadows.  This is a stand out look with a white outfit, denim, or a colorful top.  And a late night party is the place to show this off.

colorful-mascara-plain | yesilovewalmart.comI wanted a look to go with a lot of outfits, so I used four colors: green, blue, purple, and pink. And the mascara and eye shadow had to be affordable and fairly simple to apply.  My model and I loved how it turned out.

I liked colored mascara long before it became trendy. As a teen, blue started it all.  I couldn’t wait to buy it.  It was pretty exciting when people noticed that you had a new color on your eyelashes (other than black or brown).  “Yes it is blue – ISN’T IT COOL!”

colorful-mascara-look | yesilovewalmart.comWhen I was in junior high I was in awe of my sisters’ makeup. They tried all of the latest trends and products.

And the products they didn’t want ended up in a shoebox – that I happened to find. I felt like I was opening an incredible treasure box when I first found it.  I was so excited to try everything in there.  And I had often seen models wearing make-up in my sisters’ magazines.  So I was confident about recreating the models’ look.

The first thing I put on was the colorful blue eyeshadow. To see a metallic baby blue on my eyelids probably made me look ridiculous.  But anything that would bring excitement to my face had to look pretty, right? Uh.

Here’s what you’ll need to create this look.

colorful-mascara-supplies | yesilovewalmart.com

  • Hard Candy™ 1,000 Lashes Mascara – Lush Green Vert
  • Hard Candy™ 1,000 Lashes Mascara – Divine Purple
  • Hard Candy™ Ginormous Lash Volumizing Mascara – Electric Blue
  • Hard Candy™ Fierce Mascara Volume Vibrant – Ferocious Fuchsia
  • Maybelline™ Expertwear™ Eyeshadow – Electric Blue
  • Covergirl™ Eyenhancers Eyeshadow – Knock Out Pink
  • Covergirl™ Eyenhancers Eyeshadow – Kaboom Kelly
  • Eyelash curler
  • Toothpick (please use caution when using this)
  • Cotton swab

Who wants to always wear black eyeliner and neutral eyeshadow? It’s time to shake things up.  Go bold and have fun wearing this trendy colorful mascara and rainbow eyeshadow.

Bath Time Fun – Kids

September 8, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Bath Time | yesilovewalmart.com

Bath Time | yesilovewalmart.comBoy oh boy here are some really great bath time items (Foam Soap, Dino Fizz, Magic Fish Bath Sponges, Bath Crayons – to name a few).

My kids have turned bath time into an adventure over the years.  Sometimes all four have piled in there with swimsuits on.  Several times it’s turned into a “revolving hurricane”, “Quick, move the rug and plants,” I’ve yelled as a big wave was about to escape.

My kids snorkel in the tub too.  They’ve even had bath foam decorating contests in there.  In the winter, it’s the next best thing to an indoor pool.

These products can make bath time even more fun.

bath-time-foam | yesilovewalmart.comMr. Bubble™ Original Foam Soap 8 oz. (2 ct) $4.48

Our all-time favorite is foam soap.  We’ve used blue and pink foam for years – so orange and purple are new colors.  I saw rainbow foam on my last shopping trip – which we can’t wait to try.  You can make just about anything with it.   Plus, you can make your bath buddy look like Abraham Lincoln (with his beard).

bath-time-egg | yesilovewalmart.comDino-Fizz™ – Tyrannosaurus (IN STORES ONLY) $1.42

Our newest favorite bath product is the Dino-Fizz Tyrannosaurus Egg.  It is really exciting to see the egg when you first put it in the water.  There is an immediate rush of bubbles like a volcano is erupting.  And then we keep checking the dissolving progress of the egg – it dissolves fast.  Our purple egg turned the water a light plum purple.

We expected the dinosaur to be the typical hard plastic kind.  But instead, it was a tiny, thin soft dinosaur.  After the egg dissolves, the dinosaur pops to the surface and floats.

My kids smelled good after the bath.  I mean, they always smell good after a bath but the purple water gave them a light fruity scent.  I’ll guess it was “grape”, so that was nice.  The dinosaur egg made the bath very fun.

bath-time-sponges | yesilovewalmart.comGaranimals™ Magic Fish Bath Sponges (3) (IN STORES ONLY) $3.50

When you drop this packet in the warm bath water it dissolves instantly.  And out pops a sponge shaped like a fish.  It colors the bath water and is about 2-3” x 4½-5½” long.  These three packets had pink, yellow, and blue sponge fishes.  They enjoy the fish sponges at every bath now.

bath-time-crayons | yesilovewalmart.comMunchkin™ Bath Crayons (5 ct.) $5.97 + free shipping

My kids have played with bath crayons in the tub since they were little.  You can color and draw on the tub or tile with a nice bright color.  It’s as if you’re using real crayons, but they wash off easily.  The actual crayons are half the length of the tube.  I like the darkness of the crayons.  With their wax they stay put until you wash them off.

bath-time-body-wash | yesilovewalmart.com3-in-1 Body Wash, Shampoo, and Conditioner – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™, Monsters™, and Despicable Me™ $2.78 each

Aren’t these the cutest 3-in-1 bath washes you’ve ever seen?  I asked my youngest son to choose his favorite because I was “only going to buy one”.  But the decision was so tough, even for me, so we bought all of them.

The turtle is citrus cool, the monster is scary berry, and the minion is strawberry banana.  I do recommend you smell them though, to make sure you like the scent.  They seemed like strong scents in the store but were totally fine in the tub.

bath-time-markers | yesilovewalmart.comMy First Crayola™ Washable Bath Markers (4 ct.) (IN STORES ONLY) $4.97

This was a new product for us.  You have to press down on the tips to activate them. It takes a little practice to get the color flowing.  You have to press as you paint.  They release a very light pastel color as you paint the tub.

You can find these bath items in the beauty shampoo area, the baby bath toys area, or the pharmacy soap area.  Notice what ages the product is intended for as well.

So, if your kids dread taking a bath, then these bath time things will make it fun.

Just now I was in our tub retesting the markers and crayons.  And I thought, “I sure could use a hot bath soak”.  Maybe I’ll have to do some more testing!

See you at Walmart!

Chicken Wings – Sweet Spicy Barbecue

September 1, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Chicken Wings | yesilovemart.com

Chicken Wings | yesilovemart.comThese boneless barbecue chicken wings are perfect.  The shiny sticky coating and their finger snacking size make you want to jump right in.  They’re more like a chicken nugget because they’re boneless.

The best thing about them is the coating.  It’s thick and perfectly chewy.  The semi sticky sauce on the coating isn’t your typical barbecue.  It’s a sweet and spicy sauce – very very good.  It’s not too sweet and not too spicy – just right.  We really liked the “medium heat”.

Chicken Wings - OpenWhen you get to the chicken meat inside you’ll find that it’s oh so soft and pulls apart.  The meat carries the same delicious flavor as the coating.  I loved the combined bite of the saucy chewy coating with the tender chicken.  Yum.

Chicken Wings - BoxSweet and Spicy Boneless Barbecue Chicken Wings (IN STORES ONLY) $5.98/ lb

These chicken nuggets (wings) are very good.  So enjoy, you’ll love the sweet/spicy taste!

GIANT Bubble Wand

August 27, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Giant Bubble Wand | yesilovewalmart.com

Giant Bubble Wand | yesilovewalmart.comOur GIANT bubble wand is easy to make and use.  Over the years, my kids have made lots of bubbles with this wand.  It will help you make perfect GIANT bubbles too.

We bought our first bubble wand at a craft show – before we had children.  A man dipped a small plain wooden dowel with a rope attached into a bubble solution.  And out would fly large bubbles (about a foot wide).  It looked so fun and easy, so I bought the wand.

But, the wand was small and easily got tangled – it was hard for us to use.

Giant Bubble Wand -2 | yesilovewalmart.comSo, our bubble wand design is simple.  You start with a long wooden dowel (3 foot) that can be painted (or not).  The rope is a “jump rope”, that is easily taken apart.  And the plastic rings allow the rope to slide to create the bubbles.

Giant Bubble Wand -3 | yesilovewalmart.comHere’s what you’ll need to make it:

Giant Bubble Wand - Supplies | yesilovewalmart.com

  • Dowel ½” x 36” $.97

  • Super glue – I use Loctite™ Gel Control

Giant Bubble Wand -4 | yesilovewalmart.comWe made bubbles like this (photo above) that are about 2 feet wide and 6 feet long.  I give tips on how to get the best bubbles (see GIANT Bubble Tips).

And you also need my GIANT Bubble Solution.  You will find all the “ingredients” to make it at Walmart.

GIANT bubbles are great for parties or group events.  The wand and solution make a fantastic gift for “kids” (of all ages).

GIANT Bubbles – Amazing Fun

August 20, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Giant Bubbles | yesilovewalmart.com

Giant Bubles | yesilovewalmart.comOur love of making GIANT bubbles started when my daughter took it on as a science fair project.  It quickly turned into a family project since everyone wanted the chance to help make them.

And, now we create GIANT, consistently forming, and long lasting bubbles.

Giant Bubbles - Hands | yesilovewalmart.comScience fair attendees were impressed with photos of my girls with these GIANT bubbles.

School Supplies – Show Off

August 11, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

School Supplies | yesilovewalmart.com

School Supplies | yesilovewalmart.comIt’s so exciting to get new school supplies.  You can’t wait to show them off the first day back to school.  The more bright, colorful, and fun – the better.

Amazing new stuff always seemed to motivate me.  Ready to write a book report or calculate math problems?  You betcha! – as long as I got to crack open my new supplies.  I was all in.  At the beginning of the school year you’re so refreshed from the long summer break.   You look forward to a fresh start – making new friends and learning new things.

These cool new school supplies will get your year started off right.

School Supplies - Pencils | yesilovewalmart.comCasemate™ No. 2 Wood Pencils, 12 count  (In Stores Only) $.97

Casemate™ No. 2 Neon Pencils, 12 count $.97

Why have boring yellow pencils when you can have these “glow sticks” – I mean, pencils.  I like the patterns and rainbow designs (on the left).   But look at the super bright neon ones– hard for someone to lose these pencils.  How fun – the erasers are colorful too.

School Supplies - Sharpie | yesilovewalmart.comSharpie™ Highlighters, 12 count (In Stores Only)  $5.24

I’m a big highlighter person.  I use them on my shopping lists, notes, calendar, and more.  This pack is great because of the amazing colors.  I can share the pack with my kids, since the package has two of most all the colors.  And I’m super happy they included a purple!

School Supplies - Calculator | yesilovewalmart.comCasemate™ 8-Digit Display Handheld Calculator (In Stores Only) $.94

This handy calculator comes in all my kid’s favorite colors, so they each got one.  It’s a great price, is pretty lightweight, and is 3 x 5”.

School Supplies - Notebooks | yesilovewalmart.comU•Style™ Color Wave 1 Subject Notebook, 80 Perforated Sheets, College Ruled (In Stores Only) $2.47

These notebook covers have a holographic-like dimension.  You truly have to see them in person.  Plus the colors are NEON (much brighter than I can capture here) – so eye-catching.  I also like the clear plastic spiral.

Hair Braid Rope – Cute Look

August 4, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Hair Braid Rope | yesilovewalmart.com

Hair Braid Rope | yesilovewalmart.comThis is a beautiful way to give your hair a stylish braided look.  It is SUPER easy to make and to wrap around a ponytail.

My girls are always trying new looks and styles in their hair.  So they love this beaded rope.  It turns a regular ponytail into something more fashionable and fun.  The beads add color to it.  And the criss crosses make it look like the ponytail is braided.

If you have long hair you can easily extend it so the beads are further apart.

Hair Braid Rope - Spread Out | yesilovewalmart.comIt’s a great way to keep a ponytail tamed if you’re playing a sport.  In hot weather it keeps it off your neck.  I’m sure a French braid could be woven through the loops as well.

Hair Braid Rope - Suede | yesilovewalmart.comOf course, you can change the type of rope, the beads, and elements:

  • For an adult or nighttime look – use black suede and metal beads.
  • For a southwest look – use brown suede with turquoise beads, and attach delicate thin feathers to the bottom.
  • For a more feminine look – use ribbon instead of the suede and glue flowers to the beads.

There are so many possibilities once you know how to make it.

For these hair braid ropes, you’ll only need suede trim and beads.

Hair Braid Rope - Supplies | yesilovewalmart.comBeadsmith™ Ultra Micro-Fiber Suede Faux Leather – White .118” x 9’ $4.25 + $2.00 shipping

Cousin™ Fun Pack Acrylic Pony Beads – Assorted Deco (125 ct) $2.99 order site to store

I chose white suede to see it easily in the hair and so the focus is on the colorful beads.  But you can change it up and use colored suede to wrap it.

We loved these deco beads because of their design and rainbow colors.

Pony beads have a larger hole – so they are a good place to start.  If you choose different beads, make sure the hole is large enough to get both pieces of suede through.

So, try making hair braid ropes for you and your kids!

Once you make one, you’ll see how easy it is.   And you can make them for different outfits or occasions.

Pecan Tarts – Sweet

July 29, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Pecan Tarts | yesilovewalmart.com

Pecan Tarts | yesilovewalmart.comThere are only a handful of ingredients used to make pecan tarts.  You expect a nice crust, fresh pecans, and a brown sugar goodness filling.  They usually taste like a mini pecan pie.

When I was a kid, I usually avoided any type of sweet that had pecans in it. So, if a brownie had pecans in it, I’d pick out and throw away the pecans (gasp!).

As I grew older, I cautiously introduced new foods.  And to my surprise, I found that pecans were actually quite good.

Pecan Tarts - Platter | yesilovewalmart.comThen along came mini pecan tarts.  (They are lovingly called “Tassies.”)  Now I find that it’s incredibly hard for me to only eat one or two.

There are 16 tarts on the tray – each tart is 2” wide.  The crust is good but a little on the plain side.  The crust would be better with a little more butter taste to it.  Of course, I liked the small pecan pieces.  They are nice and chewy.

The filling is good, but the consistency is like a jam.   I missed the homemade texture that has more brown sugar, vanilla, and butter in it.

Pecan Tarts - Package | yesilovewalmart.comThe Bakery™ Mini Pecan Tarts (IN STORES ONLY) $6.24

BUT when you take a bite of the tart as a whole – the three parts come together and taste good.  Believe it or not, I wished it had a few more  pecans in it.

When you eat these tarts, they do taste like a few bites from a pecan pie!

Colorful Shorts – Comfortable

July 22, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Colorful Shorts | yesilovewalmart.com

Colorful Shorts | yesilovewalmartI live in shorts in the summer.  I like comfortable everyday shorts to go bike riding in, take walks, run errands, and weed my garden. 

These fun shorts are cute, colorful, and comfortable.  They vary from super short to knee length.  And they have fabrics like stretchy denim and microfleece.

Shorts are great for special summer events.  That’s when I want a classier style like a denim.  Who can bear to wear capris right now?  In this heat they feel like pants. 

Colorful Shorts - Boucle Mint | yesilovewalmartNo Boundaries™ Boucle Shorts – Mint – Juniors $5.88

Mint shorts – love the pretty delicate lace along the edge.  I like the unusual weave of the stretchy fabric.  It’s very lightweight and has an elastic waist with a working drawstring.  But, it doesn’t have pockets.  The colors for this Boucle short are pastel.

Colorful Shorts - Bermuda OrangeNo Boundaries™  Tie Front Knit Bermuda Shorts – Glow Orange – Juniors $6.88

Bright orange bermuda shorts – perfect for working out.  My favorite thing about them is the super soft microfleece feel on the inside.

They are very comfortable – lightweight with a loose fit.  The legs have a bottom hem, but with a raw edge giving them a casual look.   It has an elastic waist with a working drawstring.  And it does not have pockets.

Colorful Shorts - Belted Cuff | yesilovewalmartRiders™ by Lee™ Belted Cuff Perfect Mid-Rise Shorts – Dobby Stripe – Women’s $14.87

Nautical looking shorts – made out of STRETCH denim!  They’re the next best thing to wearing jean shorts.  I like the low ribbed texture and rolled up hem as well as the braided belt.  They’re nicely made with pockets in the front and back.

olorful Shorts - Belted Perfect Yellow | yesilovewalmartRiders™ by Lee™ Belted Perfect Mid Rise Bermuda Shorts – Transparent – Women’s $14.87

Bermuda shorts – also made out of a denim stretch fabric – love that.  They’re longer at knee length.  They have pockets in the front and back.  And they come with a thin belt.

Garden, Yard – Decorate It

July 14, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Garden-Yard Decor | yesilovewalmart.com

Garden-Yard Decor | yesilovewalmart.comWhen the garden center starts to fill up with garden, yard, and patio décor – you can’t get me to leave. I found so many decorative things this year – rain gauges, solar lights, wind chimes, and bird feeders.  I feel perfectly at home there, excited about what I want to plant in my garden as well as how I want to decorate it.

Every year I like to add something new to decorate my yard and garden.  I find that it brings a spot of color and fun.  Plus, it’s so much more welcoming to children.  They love to hear the chimes and watch the solar lights change color.

Yard décor is even better if it can feed the beautiful birds that visit as well.  It’s exciting when we see new types of birds.  I run into the house to grab my camera before they’re gone.

Garden-Yard Decor - Solar Light | yesilovewalmart.comMainstays™ Ceramic Bird Solar-Powered Decorative Light  (IN STORES ONLY) $9.88

Mainstays™ Metal Sunflower Solar-Powered Decorative Light $12.97

These two solar lights stood out – above and beyond the normal lights.  The ceramic bird is stunning – so nicely made.  It is 3 x 3¼ x 4¼” long.

The yellow flower is big at 7” wide.  The large bulb on it is made of crackled glass. The light changes color – so cool!  Both of the supports on these solar lights are 33” long.

Garden-Yard Decor - Bird Feeder | yesilovewalmart.comHeath Outdoor Products™ The Townhouse Bird Feeder $15.47

Among all the traditional bird feeders, this townhouse has such a modern look.  The color would be nice if you photographed birds on it.  It should attract small birds.

The lid locks to keep out squirrels.  To open it, press the knob on top and raise it up, then lift the lid to add bird seed.  Surprisingly it holds up to two pounds of bird seed.  The seed comes out at 4 different ports on the bottom tray.  It’s made of steel with very strong cable and is 10” tall.

Garden-Yard Decor - Bronze Wind Chimes | yesilovewalmart.comArtistic Collection™ Hand Crafted Wind Chimes (IN STORES ONLY) $9.97 each

For bronze wind chimes, I found birds, butterflies, frogs, flags, ladybugs, and lots more.  It took me about 20 minutes to decide on these chimes.

I love the marbles, glitter, and how colorful they are.  They’re all about 4-5 inches wide and 28” long.

Garden-Yard Decor - Rain Gauge | yesilovewalmart.comMainstays™ Solar Rain Gauge (IN STORES ONLY) $15.28 each

The flowers, insects, and scrolled metal on this rain gauge are amazing. They are beautiful – so pretty when the bulbs light up during the night.

But, you have to be careful when these fill up.  The glass cylinders are marked, but the “inch” marking isn’t an actual inch.  The 5½” mark is equal to about 7 real inches.  Confusing, huh?  So you’ll have to find the lines that work for you.  They’re 15” long on a support that is 14” tall.

Garden-Yard Decor - Hummingbird Feeder | yesilovewalmart.comPerky-Pet™ Magnolia Top Fill Hummingbird Feeder $7.23

This magnolia hummingbird feeder is the prettiest one of its group.  It looks pretty easy to take care of and holds 16 oz.

I was surprised to find a tag with an “instructional scan code”.  So, you can connect to a three minute, easy to follow YouTube instructional video on how to fill and clean the feeder.

Garden-Yard Decor - Wind Chime | yesilovewalmart.comMainstays™ Wind Chime – Butterfly and Rooster $9.84 each

These decorative wind chimes are weather resistant and for both indoor and outdoor use. The design is about 3-4” wide and the length is 24”.

The rooster has my mom’s name all over it.  It looks just like the rooster weathervane on her garden shed roof.  The butterfly wind chime is more my style.

So, go out, have fun choosing your decor.  Make your garden and yard look good!

See you at Walmart!

Hot Trend – Beautiful Lace Tops

July 7, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Lace Tops | yesilovewalmart.com

Lace Tops | yesilovewalmart.comLace is such a hot fashion trend right now.  It’s so romantic and feminine.  You can stay cool this summer and look beautiful while wearing them.

It’s fun to wear tanks and breezy lightweight tops in the summer.  I love tops with a little lace strip or panel.  And with so many easy undertops available I can choose one that isn’t lined.

After looking at many different styles and colors – these four tops are my standouts.

Lace Tops - Double Strap Crochet Tank | yesilovewalmart.comNo Boundaries Double Strap Crochet Tank – Red – Juniors $9.88

This was the first lace top I swooned over.  The double straps are so unexpected.    I like how it’s sheer on the top and along the hem but has a liner.  It’s a little longer in the front.  And the back is a solid fabric.  This tank uses an antique floral lace.

Lace Tops - Front Peasant| yesilovewalmart.comNo Boundaries Lace Front Peasant Top – Coral – Juniors $12.88

This peasant top is so pretty.  Love the sheer panel in the front and the thin peekaboo slits along the sleeve seams.  This airy top is made of a soft rayon.  The decorative ties at the top look sweet with the tassels on them.

Lace Tops - Lace Tank | yesilovewalmart.comNo Boundaries Crochet Lace Tank with Fringe Trim – Coral – Juniors $12.88

This lace tank is so pretty.  I’ve laid a white tube top inside it – so you can see the details better.  The racerback is made of a solid fabric. The fringe at the bottom is three inches long.

Lace Tops - Crochet Slider Tank | yesilovewalmart.comNo Boundaries Crochet Slider Tank – Mint – Juniors $9.88

This beautiful slider tank is very sheer in the front.  It needs an undertop – like a tube top, bandeau, or cami.  The solid back is a stretchy fabric.  Elastic is along the back of the neck and in the straps.

These delicate lace tops would be nice additions to your summer wardrobe.  So choose one that makes you feel beautiful when you wear it – because you are!

See you at Walmart!

Patriotic Flag Chocolate Chip Cookie

June 30, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Flag Cookie | yesilovewalmart.com

Flag Cookie | yesilovewalmart.comThis giant cookie cake would definitely score you points if you brought it to a 4th of July party.  The flag on the top is a showstopper – so beautifully frosted.  It flat out looks impressive.  That’s why I bought it.

I love making and taking things to a 4th of July get-together that have red, white, and blue on them.  But when it resembles a flag it gets attention.  Who doesn’t love it when you walk into a party with an eye-catching dessert?

Flag Cookie - Container | yesilovewalmart.comThe Bakery™ 12” Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake with Icing 1.88 lbs. (IN STORES ONLY) $8.98

When I opened the lid I smelled a fresh cookie right away.  It was easy to cut through and lifted out of the pan nicely in one piece.

The semi-sweet to almost dark chocolate chips tasted fine.  The cookie itself tastes like their standard chocolate chip cookies but is very soft.  You don’t actually get the texture of a cookie.  And I wouldn’t describe it as a cake.  It’s a thick heavily frosted soft cookie.

The blue and red frosting tasted the same as the white.  The blue frosting temporarily makes your teeth look blue though. The frosting is smooth and sweet but a bit heavy on the shortening.  There is a good ½” of frosting on top.  I happen to like this frosting but a little goes a long way.  When you take a bite of the cookie, the frosting dominates.

Flag Cookie - Serving | yesilovewalmart.comThis cookie will look awesome at a 4th of July party.  But serve it in smaller squares –  it is very sweet.

Enjoy your patriotic flag cookie!

See you at Walmart!

4th of July – Patriotic Centerpiece

June 25, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Patriotic Centerpiece | yesilovewalmart.com

Patriotic Centerpiece | yesilovewalmart.comThis 4th of July patriotic centerpiece looks like I spent a lot of time making it, doesn’t it?  It really and truly can be made in 30 MINUTES!  I love the big flowers, fun bow, and rustic looking bucket.  If you want one for your home or ten to set on tables for a large event – these “super easy to make” centerpieces will look impressive.

I’ll never forget one of the best 4th of July parties at our friends’ house.  Everything was set up outside.  For the kids, she had a trampoline, bubbles, hula hoops and more in one area.  The food was plentiful with hamburgers from the grill, corn on the cob, watermelon, salads, and plenty of lemonade.  At the end of the night they had sparklers for the kids and lit fireworks for the adults.

But you know what impressed me the MOST about her party?  It was her décor.  She had red, white, and blue sprinkled everywhere and in fun ways.  It was just cleverly arranged.  Some looked western and some like worn Americana.  Flags of all sizes were displayed.

The décor was a beautiful reminder that we were celebrating our country’s freedom.

Here is what you’ll need to make this centerpiece.

Patriotic Centerpiece - Supplies | yesilovewalmart.com

  • Elegant Expressions™ by Hosley Metal Chalkboard Pail (7” diameter rim x 6” tall) IN STORES ONLY) $2.97
  • Flora Craft™ Foam 5” block (IN STORES ONLY) $2.97
  • Red White and Blue Dahlia Mixed Bouquet  (IN STORES ONLY)$5.00
  • Batik with Contrast Border Bandana  (IN STORES ONLY) $1.00
  • Offray™ Blue Polka Dot Ribbon 1½” x 9’ (IN STORES ONLY) $2.97
  • 1 Red Burlap Bow (pkg of 3)  (IN STORES ONLY) $1.97
  • Flora Craft™ Floral Tape 60 ft x .5 in. $.97
  • Rubber band
  • 2 wood skewers or chopsticks at least 11” long
  • Small US flag about 4 x 6½” on a stick at least 10”
  • White chalk

This patriotic centerpiece looks beautiful on our front porch next to our rocker.  But I also like seeing it on my kitchen counter.  Maybe I should make TWO.  Now that sounds like a good solution.

I hope you enjoy your patriotic centerpiece.  Have a wonderful 4th of July!

Americana Fashion – 4th of July!

June 20, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Americana Fashion | yesilovewalmart.com

Americana Fashion | yesilovewalmart.comI’m so excited to celebrate the 4th of July!  I’m planning to stay cool in this Americana outfit with a breezy tank and fun shorts.

It’s great how everyone goes all out wearing patriotic clothes for the 4th.  And it’s so nice to take the day to just relax and be with the family.  We love to eat hot dogs, s’mores, and drink lots of ice cold lemonade.

Of course, the absolute best part is the community fireworks celebration!  We spread out our blankets to lay on and then it’s just oooh and aaah over how incredible they are.  We never want the fireworks to end.

Americana Fashion - Graphic Tank - Navy | yesilovewalmart.comRocker Girl Burnout “Americana” Graphic Tank – Navy – Juniors $7.88

This racerback tank is lightweight and will be comfortable on a hot 4th.  It has a loose fit and hangs down lower in the back.  The material is very soft and has a burnout texture so it’s see through.  I really liked the washed look on the LOVE print.

Americana Fashion - Graphic Tank - Ultra Blue | yesilovewalmart.comRocker Girl Burnout “Americana” Graphic Tank – Ultra Blue – Juniors $7.88

Here’s another style of the burnout tanks.  I like the metallic stars and the distressed look of the stripes.  It is such an eye-catching royal blue.

Americana Fashion - Tie Front Belted Shorts | yesilovewalmart.comLei Lowrise Denim Tie Front Belted Shorts – Medium Wash – Juniors $12.92

These shorts are low rise and sooo short – but I couldn’t resist the stars printed on them and the Americana belt.  They have a cuffed hem and pockets in the front and back.

Americana Fashion - Earrings, Bracelet | yesilovewalmart.comHeart Earrings (IN STORES ONLY) $3.00

Flip Flop Earrings (IN STORES ONLY) $3.00

9 Piece Bracelet Set  (IN STORES ONLY) $3.00

It’s fun to wear patriotic jewelry on the 4th!  The heart earrings are so delicate and sweet.  They are 3/8” x 1¼” in size.

The flip flop earrings are super cute.  They’re ½ x 1”.

To accentuate the look, I found these red, white, and blue bracelets.  They’re very lightweight, thin, and have silver etchings.  They’re shiny and oh so chic in person.

Americana Fashion - Earrings, Bracelet | yesilovewalmart.comWonder Woman Women’s Flip Flop – Americana Print $5.44

Aren’t these Wonder Woman flip flops fun?  I’m sure she’s giving that look to all the superhero men that drool over her.  Hee.  These Americana flip flops sparkle with glitter on the straps.  I really like the vintage look they have.

Americana Fashion - Head Wrap | yesilovewalmart.comMesh Retro Head Wrap – Red (IN STORES ONLY) $4.00

We’re going to be outside all day on the 4th,.  This pretty head wrap will keep my hair back (or I might twist the head wrap into a ponytail holder).

It’s made of a delicate mesh with flowers through it.  It’s actually wide but naturally folds in when it’s put on.  It has an elastic piece in the back.  I saw some navy and white colors too.

So, I’m going to be in red, white, and blue for the 4th!  I can’t wait to see what everyone else is wearing.  It’s fun to see people paint their hair or wear zany springy headbands or sunglasses.

Have fun with this Americana fashion.  And enjoy some good food and fireworks! Have a great 4th!

See you at Walmart!

Lego Business Card Holder, Gift for Dad

June 11, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Lego Card Holder - Fathers Day | yesilovewalmart.com

Lego Card Holder | yesilovewalmart.comMy kids have been brimming with excitement – working on this business card holder to give my husband for Father’s Day.  Our kids are currently crazy about Legos™.  We’ve even competed (and won – woo hoo!) in a few brick building challenges that were insanely intense.

He has received quite a range of gifts over the years from what???! to yum to that’s cool!   But no matter what gift he opens he always makes them feel like it’s the best gift EVER.

When they were little I remember them taping some licorice to a piece of paper in the shape of a tie.  One year they all put their painted hand prints on a t-shirt that said “Best Dad Hands Down”.  I think his favorite is when we make him a sweet that involves chocolates, pecans and caramel.  We can never go wrong with a sweet.

This year’s gift is definitely going to get the that’s cool!  title.

Lego Card Holder - Creative Bricks | yesilovewalmart.comLego Classic Creative Bricks #10692 $13.98

We made the card holder with this box of Lego Classic bricks.  My daughters created the shape of the holder.  And my sons built the cool car and airplane for the top.

Lego Card Holder - with card | yesilovewalmart.comIsn’t it awesome?!!!  We know he’ll love it.  We absolutely love it.  It’s so colorful and screams fun and guy and cool all at once.  We were ooing and awwing over it once it came together.

And I created fun “business cards” for him to put in the holder.  Below is a template for the business cards, so you can print them.

You and your kids can use these cards to write special notes for him and leave them in the card holder.

It’s really easy to make.  In the directions, every step is photographed and explained.

Lego Card Holder - completed | yesilovewalmart.comWe can’t wait to see his surprise when he unwraps it on Father’s Day.  And one of these days, I think we’ll catch him silently zooming the car around on his desk – during a long phone call.  How could he resist?

If I know him, he’ll keep our cards in it.  But that’s OK.  Father’s Day is about making sure he knows how much we love, appreciate, and think of him.

Melted Pony Beads Bowl

June 5, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Pony Beads Bowl | yesilovewalmart.com

Pony Beads Dish | yesilovewalmart.comCan you believe this beautiful bowl is made out of melted pony beads?!  In person it is really stunning.  The beads melt so smoothly that it almost looks like a glass bowl.  It’s pretty durable too.

I love how the clear beads really show off the flower designs.  I think the rainbow colors make it cheerful and bright.

I made several “experimental bowls” to discover the best way to make this bowl.  It was no easy feat coming up with both the design and shape.  I tried using all translucent beads, putting them inside two nesting bowls, letting them melt down on different surfaces, etc.  I would have preferred a deeper bowl but going deeper creates wrinkles on the sides.

Pony Beads Bowl 2 | yesilovewalmart.comSo this sweet bowl ends up being 7½” around the rim and is 1¼” deep.  After a few tries, I am super happy to finally share this bowl with you.

Here are the supplies I used to make mine.

Pony Beads Dish - Supplies | yesilovewalmart.com

  • The Beadery™ Barrel Pony Beads – Pearl Multi (900 ct) $5.87 + $4.40 shipping
  • Horizon™ Pony Beads, Clear (500 ct) (IN STORES ONLY) $1.97

I love these pearl pony beads.  They’re bright colors and include our favorites – light pink, hot pink, and lavender.

This bowl is a great gift for someone you love.  And you may want to keep a bowl for yourself.  If so, you’ll need another bag of clear beads.  For each bowl using this design, you need approximately 100 Pearl Multi beads and 300 Clear Pony Beads.

I think your Mom would love this incredible gift.  She could use it as a candy dish or jewelry bowl.   So put a bag of her favorite candy inside or place earrings or bracelets in it.  Or give Grandma a fruit bowl filled with small fruits and shelled nuts. It can be used in so many ways.

Have fun making your bowl – the person you give it to will really enjoy it!

Cool Summer Toys

May 31, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Summer Toys | yesilovewalmart.com

Summer Toys | yesilovewalmart.comMy kids are going to have fun with these cool summer toys (a new bubble pond and wands, neon 3D chalk, a teepee, and more).  With summer comes the chance for new adventures and fun.

As kids, we especially loved playing with water.  One of our favorite things was running through the spraying water from our sprinklers.  We’d fill squirt bottles with water and have a water fight too.  My dad assembled a large pool on our patio.  He set the swing set slide over the edge of the pool.  And we loved sliding down into the water.

Building tents, writing on the chalk with sidewalk, and blowing bubbles sure kept us happy (and out of our mom’s hair).  We could hardly be coaxed to come in for meals.

Summer Toys - Dive N' Grab Scrambler Fish Set | yesilovewalmart.comPlay Day™ Dive ‘N’ Grab Scrambler Fish Set (12 pcs) (IN STORES ONLY) $7.88

These brightly colored sea creatures are easy to see on the bottom of the pool.  They are soft plastic.  The fish are pretty solid and will dive quickly in the water.  The net will help the kids grab them.

Summer Toys - Bubble Fun Pond | yesilovewalmart.comPlay Day™ Bubble Fun Pond (14 pcs)  (IN STORES ONLY) $9.86

This is a great bubble set.  To make large bubbles – you need a big area to pour the bubble solution.  This pond inflates to a good size at 18” wide.

Everyone can easily get their wand covered when they dip into the pond.  The wand makes several different sized bubbles at once.  And it’s easy to dump out and rinse the pond too.

The set comes with four bubble wands.  Each wand fastens together with 3 pieces to be 26” long.  It also comes with a large 32 oz. bottle of bubble solution.

Summer Toys - Jumbo Ball | yesilovewalmart.comIntex™ Jumbo Ball  (IN STORES ONLY) $4.97

I love this jumbo beach ball – with fun rainbow colored polka dots on it.  It’s HUGE at 42” long – a little bigger than a yardstick.

I can imagine toddlers trying to get their arms around it.  Older kids will have fun passing it to each other at the pool.

Summer Toys - Sidewalk Chalk | yesilovewalmart.comCrayola™ Neon 3D Washable Sidewalk Chalk  (IN STORES ONLY)  $4.96

When it cools down on summer evenings my kids love to get out their sidewalk chalk.  They go out to our open driveway and just start creating.  This set of neon chalks will bring bright colors to their art.

But the cool thing is – the sidewalk chalk comes with glasses so you can see the colors in 3D.  The warmer colors like the pinks are higher/closer to you.  The blue is lower/further away.

The glasses alone are pretty awesome.  When you look at a light through them you see a rainbow effect.

It’ll be hard sharing the glasses among four so I better get another package.

Summer Toys - Teepee | yesilovewalmart.comPlay Day™ Teepee $17.88

What a cute teepee for little ones.  It sets up to a height of 5 feet.  Love the bright colors.  It’s easy to assemble and take down.  It’s nice that it all fits back into this carrying case.

Kids will love pretending that this is a house or fort.  With a stack of library books it becomes a reading nook.  Adding a pillow and sleeping bag it could be an indoor camping tent.

There’s lots of imaginative fun ahead with these cool new summer toys.

See you at Walmart!

Baby Back Ribs

May 25, 2016 by Jennifer 2 Comments

Baby Back Ribs | yesilovewalmart.com

Baby Back Ribs | yesilovewalmart.comWith baby back ribs – that finger LICKING sauce gets all over as you tear into them.  And the great smell makes you feel like you’re sitting at a picnic next to a smoky barbecue pit.  With barbeque, the meat has been smoking or grilling for hours – to give you “meat falling off the bone” goodness.

These pork baby back ribs are amazing!!  We couldn’t stop eating them and wanted MORE.  They have that right off the grill taste – like Walmart has a smoker or grill in the back.

The sauce on them is very flavorful – not too sweet and not too hot.  You can taste a smoky flavor but just the right amount.  (When I photographed them, I couldn’t help but lick the sauce off my fingers).

Baby Back Ribs - Plate | yesilovewalmart.comPork Baby Back Ribs (IN STORES ONLY) $4.98/lb

And, when you get to the meat on the ribs – its heaven.  It falls off the bone and is perfectly moist and soft.  It was a nice balance between the textured outside and the soft inside.

When you’re done you relish and enjoy the flavors that mingle in your mouth.  Delicious.

I love that these ribs are ready made – no cooking – take them straight to the dinner table.  They are sold in half and full racks.

They truly taste like restaurant baby back ribs.  So, enjoy some ribs this summer.

See you at Walmart!

Facial Masks – Pamper Your Face

May 19, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Facial Masks | yesilovewalmart.com

Facial Masks | yesilovewalmart.comIt’s fun to put on a facial mask and treat your skin to some lovin.  But what’s the right one to get?  How do they smell?  What do they look like?  Do they work?

We tried these facial masks (two peel-off, two wash-off, and one overnight) so we could find out.

When I came home, I said, “I bought some facial masks to try”.  Immediately there was electricity, excitement, and a breeze in the air.   My youngest daughter raced into the room with big eyes and a huge smile – she was thrilled to put on these masks with me.

She was adorable getting into the spirit of things.  She put on fun music and cut cucumber slices.  We thought we’d put them on our eyes but ended up eating them instead – oops. : )  She ran to get headbands to keep our hair back.  So, I’m glad we bought these facial masks – she had a lot of fun.

Peel-Off Masks

Facial Masks - PomegranateFreeman™ Feeling Beautiful™ Pomegranate Revealing Peel-Off Mask .5 oz $1.37

I love pomegranates so we thought this peel-off mask would be nice to try.  I was hoping it smelled like berry, but it did not.  It came out in a thick clear/slightly purple liquid.

It felt fine on our skin and went on smoothly and easily.  It looks clear and shiny on your face.  And it dried pretty quickly.

After the peel-off mask dries – your skin feels a little tight.  When you peel it it comes off in small pieces and tickles a little.  Then, we washed our faces with warm water.

The package says it refines and purifies, immerses skin in super nutrients.  And it uses an 8 antioxidant blend to guard against free radicals and environmental stress.  It can be used with all skin types.

Facial Masks - Banana Oat | yesilovewalmart.comFreeman™ Feeling Beautiful™ Sweet Tea and Lemon Peel-Away Clay Mask .5 oz $1.37

After the clear mask it was a shock to see this mask come out as a thick orange liquid.

The nice thing about the orange color is you can see exactly where it is – so you can peel it off.  It had a nice smell – a mix of lemon and tea.

We liked this peel off mask better because it smelled nice, was easy to see, and peels off in large sheets.  Since it clung so well I’d think it would remove even more unwanted things from your skin.

The package says it pulls off pore-clogging grime, absorbs oil, refines, and tones skin.  It’s for normal/combination skin.

Both peel-off masks lift off grime and oil to leave your skin feeling refined.

Wash-Off Masks

Facial Masks - Dead Sea Minerals | yesilovewalmart.comFreeman™ Feeling Beautiful™ Dead Sea Minerals Anti-Stress Mask .5 oz $1.37

We thought the orange mask was a shock until this BLUE mask came out!  And it’s very thick like a mud.  But, it smelled amazing – like lavender.

Even though it suggests putting on both your face and neck we only put it on our face.  We didn’t want it to get on our clothes.

Within five minutes or so it hardened.  Then we washed it off with warm water.  I’d recommend using a washcloth to get it all off.

This is the mask you want to use at a spa party because everyone will get a laugh out of seeing each other’s blue faces.

The package says it clears pores, smooths skin, is nutrient rich, replenishes and balances moisture, and rinses away skin stress.  It’s good for all skin types.

Facial Masks - Sweet Tea, Lemon | yesilovewalmart.comFreeman™ Feeling Beautiful™ Banana-Oat Instant Smoothing Mask .5 oz $1.37

This banana oat mask smelled like a yummy banana coconut smoothie.  It looks like a light yellow colored gel.

It felt really smooth and comfortable when we put it on.  It goes on clear and was gentle.  It also clings to your skin, so use a washcloth to get it off.

This wash-off mask was our favorite.  It smelled good, had a clear gel and made our face feel smooth.

The package says it exfoliates dead skin cells.  It’s good for all skin types.

Both wash-off masks smell good, and leave your skin soft and smooth.

Overnight Mask

Facial Masks - Honeydew, Chamomile | yesilovewalmart.comFreeman™ Feeling Beautiful™ Honeydew and Chamomile Sleeping Mask .5 oz $1.37

We thought this had a garden fresh smell – kind of like honeydew and cucumber.  It is like a very thick white lotion.

It went on smoothly and was clear.  It stung when it was first applied and then felt fine.  The package says it “absorbs like a cream, so it won’t get on your pillows”.  We found that it mostly dried – but felt a tiny bit of oil when touched.

It was fine to sleep in and washed off easily the next morning.

If you ever have a really dry face, like happens to me sometimes in the winter, this is what you should use.  It hydrates deeply and rejuvenates skin.

I don’t regularly use a night moisturizer so the sleeping mask was so good for my skin.  It needed the hydration.

I’m so glad we tried these facial masks with smaller packs first.  Each package gives you 2-4 applications.  So, after you try one, you can buy your favorite in a regular sized container.

I would absolutely buy these masks if I had a spa party.  Guests would have so much fun trying out the different masks.  And they would make a great gift for a teen.

If you have dry skin, choose an overnight mask.  If you want to clear pores get a peel-off.  And if you want to exfoliate then a wash off would be a good choice.

All of them left our skin feeling smooth, soft, clean, and pampered.

See you at Walmart!

Pretty Spring Tank Tops

May 12, 2016 by Jennifer 6 Comments

Tank Tops | yesilovewalmart.com

Tank Tops | yesilovewalmart.comThe bright spring colors on these tank tops are so pretty.  When I’m going for a layered look I want my tank top to have some pretty design or detail on it.

I usually buy tank tops to wear in the summer when it gets blazing hot.  There are 90º to 100º days when I hand my girls a spray water mister (that we keep in the fridge) and say, ”Have at it (please cool me down or I may faint)”.  I do a slow turn around and they love squirting my neck with the cold water.  I’m happy to repay the favor.

But I also buy them for fall and spring weather – when half the day may be warm and then gets cool.  Or when the weather starts cool and then gets warm.  Then my tanks bring a little color under a sweater or jacket.

Tank Tops - Lavender Sky | yesilovewalmart.comWhite Stag™ Lace Trim Medallion Tank – Lavender Sky – Women’s $4.94

This lavender tank is my favorite with the detailed design along the front.  I’m a fan of tanks that cover my bra strap and stay in place.  This tank and the orange one have the softest material.

Tank Tops - Orange Cupcake | yesilovewalmart.comWhite Stag™ Lace Medallion Tank – Orange Cupcake – Women’s $4.94

This tank has a unique design along the scoop neckline.  The color reminded me of a Dreamsicle.

Tank Tops - Limoncello | yesilovewalmart.comFaded Glory™ Lace Trim Tank – Limoncello – Women’s $4.94

This tank is ribbed so it’s very stretchy.  It’s made of a thin material so it can be worn as a camisole.  And it’s long so you can tuck it in.  The lace is delicate.

This top and the Tribal one below are very figure hugging.  They have more of a casual look to them.

Tank Tops - Racerback Ribbed | yesilovewalmart.comNo Boundaries™ Racerback Ribbed Tank – Tribal – Juniors $3.88

I was drawn to the bright colors and racerback on this tank.  It’s very stretchy and form fitting.  It would be fun to wear while working out.

None of them had a tag in the back – that was nice.  All of these tanks are so reasonably priced.  So, you can stock up with different colors.

The hard part is picking the right one to wear.  Good luck and keep cool this summer!

See you at Walmart!

Jewelry Set – Necklace, Earrings, Bracelet

May 8, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Jewelry Set | yesilovewalmart.com

Jewelery Set | yesilovewalmart.comCreate a necklace, earrings, and bracelet jewelry set for someone you love.  My mom is going to smile when she opens this beautiful set.  She will especially love the bird accent pieces and the beading.

You can make nice jewelry with cords, beads, accents, and a starter pack from the craft department (at Walmart).  The bird accent set was so pretty.  And I really liked a variety mix with pink and yellow beads.

Here is what I used to make these.

Jewelery Set - Supplies | yesilovewalmart.com

  • Cousin™ Stretch Cords (elastic and thin plastic kinds from 4 pk) 48 ft. (IN STORES ONLY) $3.94
  • Blue Moon™ Modern Mix Beads 2.47 oz. (pink, green, yellow) (IN STORES ONLY) $3.46
  • Cousin™ Mother’s Day Accents (4 pc) (IN STORES ONLY) $2.88
  • Cousin™ Mother’s Day Findings Starter Pack (179 pcs) (IN STORES ONLY) $2.88

You will need a towel, wire cutters, round nose pliers, chain nose pliers, glue, and scissors to put the jewelry together.

But don’t let this list scare you, it is not hard to make.

I show three techniques to make this jewelry in the directions.  First, you need to twist the wire to make a charm.  Next, you attach a bead string onto a charm.  And finally, you tie a secure knot.

Jewelery Set - Bracelet | yesilovewalmart.comThe best thing about jewelry making is – the possibilities are endless.  You can change the type of beads, the order of the beads, and how you use the accents.

Jewelery Set - Earrings | yesilovewalmart.comYou need to decide on the order of the beads first.  Then fastening the beads together goes quickly.  If you make a mistake twisting the wire on a charm, just cut the wire and make a new one.  There are plenty of wires in the bag for practice.

Jewelry Set - Full | yesilovewalmart.comYou’ll have fun making your own jewelry.  It is easy to do, even if you haven’t ever made jewelry before.  I makes a great Mother’s Day or birthday gift.

It’s so rewarding to turn a bag of beads into an eye catching set of jewelry.

Beautiful Spring Decor

May 5, 2016 by Jennifer 3 Comments

Spring Decor | yesilovewalmart.com

Spring Decor | yesilovewalmart.comBuying spring decor is one of my absolute favorite things.  These colors and flowers perfectly match my style.  This decor will look so pretty in a kitchen, on the patio, the porch…  It would look nice anywhere.  And they make nice Mother’s Day gifts.

Spring Decor - LED Bird | yesilovewalmart.comLED Decor  (IN STORES ONLY) $3.88

Love this precious bird.  And he also lights up.  The LED light inside is powered by a button cell battery.  It’s 4 x 4 x 5”.  It’s made in tan and blue too (perfect for my Mom).

Spring Decor - Metal Butterfly, Flower | yesilovewalmart.comMetal Hanging Decor  (IN STORES ONLY) $3.88 each

All of the metal hangers look good, but I really liked these two.  They’ll look nice on the fence by our garden.  They have a raised texture and/or 3-D dimension.  The butterfly is 7½ x 10“ and the tulip is 9 x 9½”.

Spring Decor - Chalkboard | yesilovewalmart.comChalkboard Decor  (IN STORES ONLY) $4.88

This will go on my kitchen counter.  I love that it’s a chalkboard so I can write important notes on it like “I went to Walmart!”  Hee  Hee.  It stands up and is 9 x 12”.  I’m pretty sure you’ll like their other floral styles too.

Spring Decor - Mini Pillow| yesilovewalmart.comMini Pillow Hanging Decor  (IN STORES ONLY) $1.98 each.

These mini pillows are so cute.  The colors are so bright and fun. The canvas cover on the front looks waterproof.  The back has soft fabric.   They’re 4” x 5”.

Spring Decor - Candle Holder | yesilovewalmart.comCandle Holder  (IN STORES ONLY) $3.88

This candle holder is so pretty with the cut out daisies.  It will look amazing when I have a lit candle in there.  This will go nicely in our guest bathroom.  It’s 3¾ x 3¾”.

Such beautiful things – but not just for spring.  These make lovely home décor all year round and in every room.  Spring is a way of life and can make a room look so happy.

See you at Walmart!

Deli Fresh Pepperoni Pizza

April 29, 2016 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Deli Fresh Pepperoni Pizza | yesilovewalmart.com

Deli Fresh Pepperoni Pizza | yesilovewalmart.comYou might be shocked at the taste of this deli fresh pepperoni pizza!  The pepperoni had a nice spicy kick and was scattered around on top.  It had tiny pieces of ham also.  It was topped with four cheeses: provolone, parmesan, romano, and mozzarella.  I noticed a mix of herbs for seasoning.

We’ve always bought frozen pizza or we order the carry out/delivery kind.  There’s no particular reason.  We just didn’t give it a chance – what a mistake.

I bought an extra large pepperoni pizza.  I recommend using a flat large baking sheet to slide it onto the oven rack and to remove it.

That first bite?  It was delicious.  It was soft, flavorful, and fresh.  The cheese, herbs, meat – everything came together nicely.  It had the right amount of tomato sauce. The onion and garlic powder gave it a zesty taste.

The crust was on the thin side and was soft and chewy while the bottom was crunchy.  I cooked it 18 minutes.  (This is on the low end of their recommended cooking time range.)

We all liked this pizza and were so surprised at how fresh and flavorful it was. It’s hard to beat a carry out pizza, but in 18 minutes you’ll have a delicious fresh pizza hot out of the oven.

Deli Fresh Pepperoni Pizza - Box | yesilovewalmart.comMarketside™ Extra Large Pepperoni Pizza (45 oz.) (IN STORES ONLY) $7.99

The medium (23.5 oz) was $5.99.  So for $2.00 more you get twice the amount of pizza when you buy an extra large.

We’re saying goodbye to frozen pizza.  See ya!  And hello! to deli fresh.

I saw a bacon pineapple pizza there – that will soon be in my shopping cart.

See you at Walmart!

Summer Sandals – Stylish

April 25, 2016 by Jennifer 1 Comment

Summer Sandals | yesilovewalmart.com

Summer Sandals | yesilovewalmart.comI was thrilled to see these new stylish sandals.  I live in sandals and flip flops all summer.  These beauties ranged from floral to sparkle and more.

Summer Sandals - Jewel Hooded | yesilovewalmart.comFaded Glory™ Women’s Jewel Hooded Sandal – Blush $16.82

These sandals caught my eye – they are sparkle central.  Love the silver studs and bronze faux rhinestones on the top.  They buckle on.  Their neutral color goes with lots of my summer outfits.

Summer Sandals - Jewel Thong | yesilovewalmart.comFaded Glory™ Women’s  Jewel Thong Sandal – White $14.96

Here is another pair with bling and sparkly faux rhinestones.  They’re a slip-on with elastic around the heel.  They will look nice with a maxi dress because they’re so pretty.

Summer Sandals - Flower Detail | yesilovewalmart.comFaded Glory™ Women’s Flower Detail Sandal – Orchid $9.82

I went bold with this bright purple and faux leather.  I love the pretty flowers down the top.  It’s a slip-on with elastic on the heel strap.

Summer Sandals - Gold | yesilovewalmart.comFaded Glory™ Women’s Sandal – Gold (IN STORES ONLY) $16.82

This gold metallic bling could be a little much for some, but not me.  I like this gladiator and snakeskin look.  It has large faux rhinestones all over the top.  It goes on with a buckle by the ankle.

These new sandals do mean I’m going to need new nail polish too, right?  Hee hee.  Oh, and don’t forget the toe rings.  I saw some cute ones I just had to show you…
