Great Shoes, Great Prices


It is always nice to get a good deal on shoes, especially when you love them as much as I do. Heartland has several new pairs of shoes, all for great prices.

The Twisted X Cowboy shoes can be worn around the town or can be dressed up and worn with a suit. They have the ruggedness of a cowboy boot, but the classiness of a dress shoe.

I love cowboy boots, especially when they are made for women. These Dingo Boots are designed specifically for a cowgirl. They feature a special dancer heel and fashion toe. So you can be sure to be the best looking one on the dance floor.

The Spira Wave Walkers are so comfortable, they are perfect for seniors. The revolutionary design features a special patented WaveSpring in the heel that stores and releases up to 96% of energy otherwise lost to the ground. You will walk faster for longer distances.

Back-to-School


It is back-to-school time again. You know what that means, school clothes, computers, school supplies and back packs. Luckily Heartland America has been helping me out each year on a lot of back-to-school items. This year they have even more great savings on special school items.

Back packs are usually the first item my kids want to shop for. It is always about looking cool and who has the most expensive bag. But really, my kids need something that can hold up throughout the year. The black leather back pack from Heartland America is top quality, and for a low price. Not only will it be good for my 11th grader, but my son is entering college this year and his laptop will fit perfectly, with room to spare.

My son really wants a WIFI tablet; they are all the craze this year. Luckily Heartland has one that does not cost more than $200. It includes a 7 inch full-screen TFT LCD display with 16:9 aspect ratio and 800x480 resolution; full-size touch operation with sliding menus, icons and drag, 2GB storage; SD card slot; built-in mic; and rechargeable battery with up to 3 hours run/7 hours standby times. It is perfect for my new college student.

And lastly, the best back-to-school item of the year, the Lexmark 4-in-1 printer. Normally my kids go to the library and pay far too much to print off their school papers. This year with the Lexmark printer, I know I will be saving in the long run. This printer has a 2.4 inch color LCD display, Ethernet and USB ports, 25-page automatic document feeder with Accu-Feed technology that virtually eliminates paper jams, fast print speeds up to 32 pages per minute and more. And it is wireless!

Kitchen Gadgets


The best inventions are the ones that make life simpler. Heartland America has many items that cut time and save money on your daily tasks. My favorites are the gadgets you can use in the kitchen. The last thing you want is to spend your entire day in the kitchen preparing food, when you should be out with your guests.

The Perfect Browning Pan is one of the most creative baking ideas I have seen. Brownies almost always fall apart when you try to cut and serve them. With the Brownie Pan, your brownies are already pre cut so there is no need to worry about the mess after cutting the brownies.

Another gadget that caught my eye was the Elite Smoothie Blender. Usually you can use any old blender to make smoothies, but this one is specifically designed to give you the best quality smoothie. It has removable stainless steel blades that effortlessly turn ice into smooth, creamy slush. Plus it has its own removable spout, so you can skip the hassle of spilling everywhere when trying to pour smoothies into your glass.

And lastly, I have never found a buffet server at such a low price. The 3 tray buffet server has 300 watts of power that keep everything warm. It is perfect for open houses, graduation parties, potlucks and more.

The best pet bed around


I have a two-year-old English Bulldog named Bubba. I love him to death, but he is a very loud sleeper. He snores louder than my husband. The worst part about it, he thinks he can sleep in our bed. Thankfully we got him the Serta Memory Foam Round Pet Bed so we no longer have to listen to him snoring in our room.

An English Bulldog does have a harder time keeping cool, so this bed is perfect for him because it has smart fabric technology to keep him from getting too hot at night. The bed is machine washable so when he does have an accident we can toss it right in the washing machine. Not only is it giving Bubba the best sleep of his life, but I am getting a good nights rest as well.

Road Trip!


Every year my friends and I go on a road trip to the west coast, and every year we get lost. It never fails we are all chatting and not paying attention and eventually realize were almost to Canada.

This year I am not letting that happen. The Magellan Roadmate 1424 GPS is going to save us gas money and time by telling us exactly which route to take. The GPS gives turn by turn directions by voice so even if no one is paying attention the GPS will be! It is easy to use and even has a touch screen.

I can not wait to get the trip started and enjoy the comfort of knowing were not getting lost this time.

Summer Party

At the end of every summer my family and I go up to our cabin and have an end of the summer party. This year I purchased a lot of my items for the party from Heartland America.

The Hotdog Roller and Toaster came in handy when we went down by the lake. Instead of dragging the grill all the way down the hill, we just hooked up an extension cord and cooked the hotdogs and buns right there! It is very convenient and the hotdogs taste extra authentic.

Another item I purchased was the Portable Ice Maker. Ice can be so expensive these days and it always seems to melt in the cooler, especially on those really hot days. The Portable Ice Maker was very efficient because it makes ice in just 6 minutes!


My Grandma always has a tough time sitting outside in the sun and heat, it gets so hot and the sun can be brutal. The Solmar Cantilevered Umbrella helped her out a lot by keeping her cool and shaded from the sun. We just put a comfortable chair on the beach and the umbrella right over her; she sat there all day and watched the kids swim.
