Between work, school, and family activities, it can be next to impossible for busy parents to keep up with all their daily tasks. It’s easy to become overwhelmed and lose track of important information. To help busy families stay organized and save money, FROG Reviews and Ramblings has compiled a list of tips and tricks that will help you manage your time and finances more effectively.

Employ Time-Management Strategies

Organizing your day is essential for getting tasks done efficiently. Use time-management strategies such as making lists, setting deadlines, and breaking big projects into smaller tasks. As you cross everything off your list at the end of the day, you’ll feel more accomplished because you can focus on the most crucial tasks first. read more


Canning Cranberry Juice

4 12 oz bags cranberries
7 quarts water
(Sugar if you want)

  • 4 — 12 oz bags fresh cranberries
  • 7 Quarts water
  • Sugar (if you want to add it…personally I don’t add)

Clean and rinse cranberries.    Add cranberries to stockpot with 4 quarts water.   Boil for about 10-15 minutes until berries are popped.   Drain them.(I use metal mesh strainers…but you can use cheesecloth also).  Save juice…set aside.  Take drained berries and add them back to pot with 2 quarts of water.   Boil again another 10 minutes or so.   Drain again…setting juice aside.   Take drained berries and add to 1 quart of fresh water.   Boil another 10 minutes.  Drain. Now your cranberries will start loosing color. Add all of your juice that you’ve set aside together into stockpot.  At this point you should have about 7 quarts of juice. read more

Surviving the Black Friday Shopping Frenzy

Before you know it, that special shopping day will be here and it will be time for a serious Black Friday Shopping trip! Yet prior to getting started, lets read up on a few tips on how to survive this years Black Friday Shopping Frenzy.

  • DAWN OF THE DEAL SEEKERS
    As the sun rises on Black Friday, so do the courageous bargain hunters, armed with shopping lists, caffeine, and a sense of humor. It’s a jungle out there, and they’re ready to tame it.
  • STRATEGIC PLANNING OR IMPULSE BUYING? WHY NOT BOTH?
    Attempting to stick to a meticulously crafted shopping strategy quickly turns into a game of “I-didn’t-know-I-needed-that-until-now.” Because who can resist a 70% off waffle maker?
  • SHOPPING CART BUMPER CAR
    Navigating the aisles resembles a chaotic game of bumper cars, where shopping carts become both weapons and shields. Dodging fellow shoppers requires the agility of a ninja and the reflexes of a cat.
  • THE QUEST FOR THE LAST HOT TICKET ITEM
    It’s not just about the discounts; it’s about the thrill of finding the last coveted item on the shelf. Forget winning the lottery; scoring the last flat-screen TV at 50% off is the real jackpot.
  • FASHION FORWARD
    Black Friday attire is all about comfort and practicality. Pajamas? Check. Running shoes? Double-check. Elbow pads for protection in crowded stores? Absolutely
  • CHECKOUT OLYMPICS
    Waiting in line becomes a sport of its own. The art of strategically choosing the fastest-moving queue is a skill that seasoned Black Friday shoppers proudly flaunt
  • DECEPTIVE DOORBUSTERS
    The allure of doorbusters can be deceptive. That $100 TV might be a steal, but good luck navigating the crowd only to discover it’s a mini TV suitable for a dollhouse
  • SURVIVING THE PARKING LOT ODYSSEY
    Finding a parking spot is like stumbling upon buried treasure. Patience is key, as you circle the lot like a vulture eyeing its prey
  • POST-SHOPPING TRIAGE
    Returning home feels like crossing the finish line of a marathon. The battle scars include sore feet, an empty wallet, and questionable purchases that seemed brilliant in the heat of the moment.
  • THE AFTERMATH
    As the adrenaline wears off, the triumphant Black Friday warrior is left with a mix of exhaustion and accomplishment. Was it worth it? Absolutely. Will they do it again next year? Without a doubt

In the end, Black Friday shopping is not just about snagging deals; it’s a hilarious adventure filled with unexpected twists, shopping cart acrobatics, and the camaraderie of fellow deal-seekers. So, gear up, embrace the chaos, and may the discounts be ever in your favor read more
