Wordless Wednesday - Rocks!

This past weekend we went to Hickory Run State Park to check out the Boulder Field. I've never seen anything like it. The pictures can't even really show how enormous it was. The rocks just went on forever!  It was really, really cool. If you're ever in Eastern PA (near the Pocono Mtns), you should definitely check it out.

You'll find more Wordless Wednesday entries at 5 Minutes for Mom and WordlessWednesday.com.

Follow Me Back Tuesday! (6/8)

Hi all! Thanks for stopping by! For those of you new to my blog, Welcome!! I hope you'll stick around for some conversations. I tend to chat about deals, jewelry, life and great products. I'm always looking for new and fun products and I like to share them with you! 

I'm excited about a new feature I'll be starting this week called "Treat Yourself for Under $5...Shipped!" Even when money is tight, I like to be able to do something special for myself. And for under $5, I don't have to feel guilty treating myself every once in awhile.

I hope you'll hang around for the fun! It's going to be a great summer and I'm looking forward to all of the conversations!! Be sure to enter my giveaways, too, while you're here. They're all ending soon.

10 Things That Make Me Happy - Snacks!

So, it's after midnight here and I'm thinking about food. Not good! So I'm going to give you this week's 10 Things and then I'm headed to bed, so I'm closer to breakfast!

1. Robert Rothschild Farm Onion Blossom Horseradish - Tangy dip with the kick of horseradish that's so good with pretzel sticks. An instant appetizer!

2. Herr's Creamy Dill Pickle Potato Chips - These are only available online, but they are sooo worth the order. If you like pickles, you'll love these!

3. Santa Cruz Organic Lemonade - This lemonade is pretty tart, which is why I love it. I like to pour half a glass of this and fill the rest of the glass with ice water for a clean, refreshing treat.

4. Tastefully Simple Bountiful Beer Bread - This is super easy to make and so good. It's delicious with dip and great for a party.

5. Pretzel M&M's - These are brand new and they perfectly satisfy a salty-sweet craving.

6. Baked Whole Grain Wheat Rosemary & Olive Oil - These are so good you don't even need anything to spread on them. A great baked snack you won't mind indulging in.

7. Mini Babybel Cheeses - Semi-soft cheese wheels packaged individually in wax casings. Great for taking on the go with your lunch.  Delicious cheesy goodness at only 70 calories a wheel!

8. Yoplait Whips! - These yogurt mousses are delicious frozen. It's really like you're eating ice cream. It's that good. My favorite is the key lime pie. Sooo good. And for around 70 cents a cup, you can afford to indulge a little!

9. Sweet & Salty Caramel Bugles - So addicting. You will eat the bag in one sitting, so limit yourself. Buttery, sweet caramel coating your favorite Bugles salty snack.

10. Donsuemor Madeleines - I just found out that this is the company that made Starbucks' Madeleines and I can get them at Whole Foods! I'm going tomorrow! Soft and wonderful cold from the refrigerator. These are the perfect mate to a cup of coffee or tea.

Friendly Friday!

Hello! And Happy Friendly Friday! These weeks are going by so quickly. I feel like, at this rate, summer will be here and gone again before we know it!!

It's time for Friendly Friday! Friendly Friday is a great way to find new readers and followers for your blog! It's hosted by three lovely ladies: Christi at The Frugal Novice, Xenia at Thanks, Mail Carrier &  Charla at Healthy Home Blog! Be sure to follow their blogs and say hello!

Here's how it all works:

To join in the Friendly Friday celebration, include your link in our list, follow the hostesses in the first 3 spots and then start blog hopping! Visit other blogs on the list and comment to give them some blog love. Then take a minute to follow them through Google Friend Connect – this is a good way to keep up with other blogs, but also lets us show support to each other!

When people comment on your blog and let you know they’re a part of Friendly Friday, return the favor and follow them back. This way everyone gets traffic and followers out of participating, and it’s a win-win situation. We would love for you to also grab our Friendly Friday button and post it on your blog and/or in a post – the more bloggers that find out about Friendly Friday and participate, the better!

(Thanks for the perfect explanation, Christi!)

Now It's your turn to join! Add your link to the linky below! You can also grab the code and add the linky to your blog too! Hope to see you back again every Friendly Friday!

So welcome! Thanks for Stopping by for Friendly Friday! It's good to see you all!  This short week has sure been busy. I feel like there's so much I haven't gotten accomplished and here it is Friday already! Maybe the weekend will give me some free time. (not likely!) 

I've been struggling this week to figure out a good way to describe my blog. Right now, I'm calling it "Hip Hodge-Podge". It's a big mixed up barrel of goodies these days filled with personal stories, photos, fun finds, product reviews, giveaways, and much more. I really like to just let inspiration hit me and that's what determines the conversation that day. I love having my readers chime in too. I tend to end many of my posts with an open-ended question, hoping to spark conversation. You all are just so darn interesting! I'm always learning from you all! And laughing! And yes, sometimes crying too.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you'll follow my blog and leave a comment to say hello! Be sure to enter the 3 giveaways I have going on this week. (You'll find them in the top right corner of my blog!)

Have a great weekend, everyone!
