Camping Essentials

Now that the weather is finally warming up, I cannot wait to go camping! But unfortunately I just found all my camping items from last year an it looks like I'll be needing to buy some new things. My tent from last year has a hole in it so I plan on getting this 4 person tent for only $39.99.

I definitely don't want to use my old air mattress this year either. Last year, by the morning I was sleeping flat on the ground because it kept deflating. That's why I'm getting a new, comfortable air mattress this year.

 And because of all the rain and snow we've been getting this spring I know the bugs are going to be horrible again this year. Sometimes those bug sprays just don't cut it, especially when you're deep in the woods. This Mosquito Trap will hopefully protect my campsite and attract and catch all the bugs.

With camping comes fishing and I definitely need a new tackle box this year. This jumbo tackle box has several pockets and a long padded shoulder pads which will be perfect for my long fishing trips.

And when I'm out fishing I'll definitely need a new pair of sandels. I hate wading through the water with just regular shoes on and getting my feet all wet. These New Balance Drift Shoes are perfect for fishing.

This winter has lasted far too long and I cannot wait for the water to warm up and for camping season to begin.

Having some fun!

The weather in Minnesota has been dragging my attitude down and lately I need a little something to perk me up. I keep trying to come up with easy, cheap things to do that keep me and my kids occupied. Check out some of the fun things I came up with...

Fly a helicopter!

Read a book

Go for a bike ride

Go camping, even if it's in the back yard

Plant a garden

Workout

Watch a movie

Make homemade ice cream


Do you have any cheap and easy activities to do this summer?

What a nice winter we're having this spring...

Another 6 inches of snow tonight in Minnesota, Old Man Winter just will not go away. But in Minnesota we are resilient and understand that were not the only ones around the country getting hit with this crazy weather. We might as well suck it up and bust out the winter supplies again. Summer will come soon enough, even if we have to skip spring altogether.

All this snow got me to thinking... are there any last minute winter deals? Heartland America has plenty!

Electric Snow Thrower $99.99

Bubble Jacket $19.99

Snowflake Winter Jacket $66.66

Womens Sand Snow Boots $29.99

Dish Heater $24.99

Going Green for Earth Day

Earth Day is Monday, April 22nd this year and I intend on doing a couple things to give back to this beautiful planet we live on. It's always nice to make small changes in my everyday life that will definitely help the Earth in the long run. Like recycling, not littering, picking up random garbage, planting trees and more.

The littlest changes in your lifestyle can help save the environment. I just bought this Orgreenic Pots and Pans, they are made from mother nature's ceramic that naturally provides amazing non-stick cooking performance that goes from freezer to oven to table. Instead of cooking with processed metals, I now know my family is safe eating from pans that aren't made from PFTE, which can be very harmful.

Saving water is another easy way to help the environment, and one way I can do that is by washing my clothes less. This Eco Friendly Laundry Ball helps me wash my clothes without having to buy detergent too, so I'm saving money all around. With this laundry ball, you don't need them! It utilizes pure physical principles to wash clothes more than 80 types of minerals and negative ions that are emitted by the minerals to divide large water molecules into smaller ones, it's amazing!

And as much as it doesn't seem like it, spring is right around the corner in Minnesota and before I know it, I'll be mowing my lawn and doing yard work. My old lawn mower put off so many harmful fumes and wasted a ton of gas, my new Reel Mower lets me mow my entire yard without wasting a dime on gas or oil! And it's good exercise pushing this mower around myself.

While I'm done mowing my lawn I'll use my new String Trimmer, which is completely green clean. It also saves me money because its completely electric, no more hassle buying oil and gas.

What are you going to do this year to go "green" for Earth day? The smallest changes in your daily life can make a huge impact on our Earth. Happy Earth Day everyone!

Solar Summer

I was at my local hardware store the other night and they were asking $29.99 and up for a set of solar lights. I couldn't believe it! I would have had to have spent almost $60 to get all the lights I want to surround my patio. I just cannot justify spending that much when I know Heartland America has plenty of solar light for way less.

Like this 8 Piece Solar Light Set with 2 Spotlights for only $29.99!

Or these Pagoda Solar lights that'll go perfectly on my deck posts, 4 of them for only $29.99

 

And who sells large Coach Style Solar lights like these at $29.99? I can't find them anywhere for this cheap.

I've always wanted lights that shine on my yard art at night, they're beautiful! And for only $29.99!

And how cute are these garden balls? They'll go perfect in my garden!

Don't waste all your money at the hardware stores in town on Solar Lights... shop at Heartland America and save!

Golf Season

50 degrees this weekend in Minnesota, I cannot wait to break out my golf clubs and hit the course. Nothing beats a nice sunny day while playing golf with all my buddies. One thing I do hate about it though is buying new clubs or balls and spending way too much money.

Heartland America has a whole golf section online and in their catalog that helps me get set for the season without breaking the bank. Like this 60 Pack of Yellow Golf Balls, it's only $39.99!

Or these TaylorMade golf balls that usually are $39.99, now only $29.99 for a full 24 pack!

This year I definitely need to work on my putting game. I can drive the ball just fine, but a good putter will definitely help bring my score up. This Powerbilt Putter better do the trick because I cannot afford to lose another round of golf.

And of course I could always use a new driver. This driver has PowerShelf in the back of the head for optimal center of gravity and reduced spin rate; patent pending shape and Maximum-Extension Hosel technology that fight slicing; jumbo 450cc head with the one of the largest driver faces in golf; & reduced toe weighting to reduce slicing. 

I have my tee time set and I'm all ready for the season. Are you?
