Neenah Paper Astrobrights... A Rainbow of Color

Two months into the school year and my oldest son comes home with the first Science project of the school year. I try, I really try not to get overly involved in my kids' projects but there's nothing wrong with helping your kids with their homework.

My kid was tasked with creating either a plant or animal cell. He had to include at least ten parts of the cell and a key with descriptions. He chose to create an animal cell and made my day by asking me to help. Woohoo!!! I grabbed a ream of Neenah Astrobrights paper, some markers and a glue gun from the homework cabinet and we were ready to work.

Neenah Paper Astrobrights Colored Card Stock and Neenah Paper Astrobrights Colored Paper come in over a dozen ultra bright colors. The card stock is a heavy 65 lb. cardstock perfect for posters, flyers and making animal cell posters. Using a diagram from his book as a guide, we created one of the brightest plant cells ever! His teacher gave him an "A" and asked if he could display our, I mean my kid's work, in the classroom. I wish I had snapped a pic of his project before sending it to school with him, but I never expected the teacher to keep it. Usually, the projects are returned to the kids within in a few days, but our animal cell poster was such a hit that my kid's teacher decided to keep it while they continue their studies on animal and plant cells.

Next time I will be sure to snap a pic and share.

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
