THIS is how you end hunger in America!

My 6 year old's teacher called us last night to do an overview of where she is in the learning process. She's a very considerate teacher, does this a lot - love her for it! Anyway!

She then tells my husband that there is a girl in class that never brings snack. Here's the thing - these kids do not eat lunch until almost 1pm and so they have snack in the morning so they are not starving. It is required that you pack it and understood that if you do not pack it, your child will not have a snack as the school does not provide it. So this child sits and drinks water from the water fountain while all of the other kids eat their snack.

Ms. Teacher told my husband that our daughter gets up everyday and gives the little girl half of her snack. Then she told us that our daughter had asked permission to start bringing two snacks to school every day so that she can share with the child.

Today, I packed two juices and two sandwiches. My daughter said, "make sure you packed her a juice so that she doesn't have to drink that fountain water any more."

How do you change the world? How do we put an end to hunger? How do we reach those that are hurting?

Simple, be like a 6 year old and care about someone other than yourself.

Video Product Review: KitchenAid Food Processor

I won the KitchenAid Food Processor at our Hallelujah Acres' company picnic. I thought it would be great to try it and write my review accordingly. You know my blog rule, I only write about it if I like it! WELL - I love it!!! Watch this video:



As you can see, the KitchenAid Food Processor is quiet and so easy that my son could operate it WITHOUT INSTRUCTION! (Except for the instruction "don't stick your fingers in there.")

My biggest likes for this product are:

• Super Quiet
• Easy Push Buttons
• Very easy to operate
• Simple Cleaning Process
• Dishwasher Safe
• Storage box for attachments included
• Low price
• No more skinny, mushy tomato slices!!!
• No more crying while chopping onions!!!

My only dislike that I could come up with for this product is that it is heavy! Not too heavy for me to move but heavier than most other machines. Of course it is better than other machines in performance so the weight is worth it!

Do I recommend this product?

Absolutely! I may buy this and give it away as Christmas gifts this year.

ABC Distributing Catalog came in!!!

OK, so every year my Mother orders us stuff for Christmas out of the ABC Distributing Catalog. So we get one in the mail yesterday and I am looking through it and I found the coolest thing. Terry, my hubby, is a really good artist and did a great deal of art when he was a teenager. He has been talking about taking it up again and we've looked at different sets. I find this in the ABC Catalog.

We have agreed to buy iPads for each other this year. How do I sneak an additional $60 in and buy this for him without him noticing? Hmmm....

Do I buy it? Do I not buy it? If you have one of these, let me know what you think of it. Will my husband like it for a Christmas present? Let me know at bargainladies@gmail.com.

Keeping My Word Y'all

A couple of blog posts down (stay with me now) I promised to exercise. I'm so doing it!!! I found a co-worker willing to walk with me each day. So, I eat while I work and then use my lunch hour to walk. We walk an uphill/downhill trail for 2 miles at The Villages of Hallelujah Acres. Monday, we did this in 45 minutes. Yesterday, we did it in 35 minutes. I am hoping that soon I will be doing a 10 minute mile. That's running you know?

I've had quite a few views of my blog - to you all I say "THANKS!!!" I even had someone in Germany view the blog. To you I say "Danke!" (I took German in High School - loved it! I don't speak it fluently though because I was not one to do homework.)

Talk to me:

Are you exercising? Do you speak German?

How's that for random!?!?!?
