Dressing Up and Having Fun with BuyCostumes.com

One of the things I miss about living in the San Francisco Bay Area is being able to find that perfect outfit for any cultural event. Nothing like shopping in Berkeley for agbadas, Hayward for kaftans, and San Francisco or Oakland's Chinatown districts for kimonos. Now that hubby and I are living closer to the Midwest, shopping has it's challenges. Several years ago, a friend turned me on to costume shops to find those one of a kind outfits at a reasonable price. Costumes? Yes, costumes.

One of my new fave online costume stores is buycostumes.com. Buycostumes.com has costumes for the entire family and feature some rather exquisite, yet affordable, wares. Take this Adult Geisha costume I ordered.

Priced at only $26.99 what a great way to make an entrance at last month's Lantern Festival Fundraiser. The costume came complete with obi belt, chopsticks and a fan. All eyes were on me and I felt absolutely beautiful.

My girls and I danced the night away and the costume is so nice hubby even asked me to wear it out to dinner one night. I was a little surprised but had a few people asking me where I bought my lovely kimono and when I told them it was a costume of course, "Oh wow, I never thought of that" was their response. Thinking out of the box saves money.

I've already got my eyes on one for the little old lady. I know she'd be absolutely adorable in this Teal Dragon Child's costume and since it's from buycostumes.com not only is is affordable and stylish, but it's adorable. I should note the pants and shoes don't come with this costume but at $24.99 what a deal.

So, change up your wardrobe and check out buycostumes.com for something special.

Jeepers! It's January Hop

Happy New Year! What better way to kick off the new year than with a giveaway! I am so excited to join The Mommy Island, The Kids Did It and 90+ other fab blogs in the first big giveaway hop of 2018! Here’s your chance to start the new year off with a win. One lucky Three Boys and an Old Lady blog reader will receive a $15 Walmart eGift card. $10 may not seem like a lot but it’s enough to stock up on some last minute Christmas clearance gifts. Trust me. I bought a 6’ Christmas tree WITH lights, 2 animal massagers, 3 Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser, Christmas cards and wrapping paper less than $20 during an after Christmas Walmart shopping trip. I was searching for some cough syrup when my friend’s kid spotted the Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser on sale for 50 cents. What a steal! The regular price is $10 so to find them on sale for 50 cents was a deal. We cleared the shelves. A few rows down we spotted some anima

Maple and Brown Sugar Air Fryer Bacon

I've been raving about my Instant Pot but now I have a new favorite... the Air Fryer. O M G This thing is amazing! I don't know why I was so late to the Air Fryer craze but I am so glad I am finally onboard. I've been talking about getting one and then after my aunt posted pics of her new air fryer, that was it off to Best Buy I went. I wasn't sure how big of a unit I would need but I figured the 2.5 liter would suffice. I chose the Chefman Express. It was priced on the shelves for $85 but online for $75.99 and my local store matched the price AND I had my Swagbucks Best Buy QR code so I got 500 SBs + 2 SBs for every dollar spent so that's another 170 SBs. So, after discounts, my air fryer ended up costing me less than the sale price. Woohoo! There were some fancy ones on the shelves with digital display but after checking the reviews I figured since I don't fry much this model would suffice. When I think of fried foods, I think

A Pit Stop at Sho Nuff Hot Tamales in Greenville, Mississippi

My cousin and I were driving along and our tummies were rumbling as we crossed the Mississippi state line on US-82. We didn't really have any particular dish in mind for lunch but we started seeing signs saying "Hot Tamales". "Hot Tamales", my Philly cousin asked. "Yep", I replied nonchalantly. "I remember reading something about hot tamales being a big thing here in the Delta." We kept driving and finally decided we would have to try these famous Mississippi Delta hot tamales. Now to decide which one. There were literally dozens of tamale spots. We happened upon a restaurant called Sho-Nuff and decided it was the one. We parked and entered the large, delightfully decorated restaurant. The wall was plastered with local and national awards in recognition of those hot tamales. There was a sign touting Sho-Nuff as the winner of the local newspaper's favorite restaurant award and 3rd place winner in the annual Delta Hot Ta
