Organizing the Odds and Ends with Trinity Home Storage

January 31, 2013 By Shannah 5 Comments

One of my New Year’s resolutions was to get our house more organized and clean up some of the odds and ends that resulted from us finishing our basement.  I have spent most of January organizing different areas of our house including my craft room and our toy storage areas. We had a few places that still needed some attention though.

The first was our DVDs and video games.  We had moved them into the basement from our family room but their old DVD holder didn’t fit into the space we had for them.  So, they just lived on the floor for awhile.
When I was offered the chance to work with Trinity, makers of some awesome home storage products, I obviously jumped at the opportunity because it would help me with organizing some of my odds and ends and actually achieve success with one of my resolutions.

Dinner Done with #CookClassico

January 21, 2013 By Shannah 8 Comments

One of my personal goals this year is to become healthier.  This includes eating out less and focusing more on healthy, home cooked meals.

There are a few ingredients that, when kept on hand in the pantry, can make this goal a lot less easier.  One of those items is canned tomatoes.

When I was in the store the other day, I noticed that Classico {makers of the yummy pasta sauce} has started making canned tomatoes too!  They can be found at Walmart and 100% fresh…free from preservatives too!  You can get even more details on these new canned tomatoes by visiting the Classico Canned Tomatoes website.
From crushed tomatoes to tomato puree to whole peeled pear tomatoes, there was a great selection to choose from.  I picked up the whole peeled tomatoes to make a family favorite: chicken curry with chickpeas.

Sponsor Spotlight and a Thank You

January 7, 2013 By Shannah Leave a Comment

I hope the first week of 2013 treated everyone well!  I struggled a little to get back into the regular swing of things but am slowly falling back in my normal rhythm.

2012 was a great year for this little ole blog!  I owe all of the blog’s success to YOU, my dear readers.  Without you, there would be no blog and I’d just be that weird girl who talks to herself.  So, a big THANK YOU for coming here to read what I have to say and being so supportive 🙂

Also helping Just Us Four thrive during 2012 {and now in 2013} were some pretty awesome sponsors.   I know lots of people have mixed feelings about sponsors for blogs but my sponsors help me bring you more content and giveaways so I think they are pretty darn great.  🙂

Let’s take a look at a few of this month’s sponsors:

ModCloth

ModCloth is one of my newest sponsors and I am so excited to have them onboard.  I got a yellow infinity scarf from there recently that I am in total love with.  Seriously…the Mathlete had to ask me to stop wearing it because I wore for it at least 5 days straight.  Seriously cute stuff over there so be sure to check it out!

Stella & Dot

Another favorite of mine that has been a sponsor for awhile is Stella & Dot.  They have so many great pieces at really great prices.
A good friend of mine recently became a stylist for them and she is LOVING it!  If you are interested in earning some extra money or maybe starting your own business, I highly recommend you check them out!  During January, Stella & Dot Stylists who sign up will receive an extra $100 in product credit for a fabulous start to launching their business.

One Kings Lane

Now that the basement construction is complete, my work has begun with decorating it!  One Kings Lane is a daily must visit site for me because they offer some awesome finds at great prices.  I love going on to see the newest sales and see what I can find to help put the finishing touches on our newest space.

Pick Your Plum
Crafting is a serious hobby around the Just Us Four house these days.  Without Pick Your Plum, I think my crafting habit would totally break the bank.  Thankfully, I can get some cute {and super helpful} craft supplies at crazy prices just by checking in to see the deal each day.
YOU can see the new deal available each day right there in my sidebar!

Social Spark
Set Your Price. Choose your Advertisers. Sign up for SocialSpark!
