Switching From Cable to Hulu Live TV

April 14, 2019 by Stacy Craft 7 Comments

A great way to save money is to lower your standard monthly expenses. TV subscriptions can end up costing you upwards of $100 to $200 using traditional cable or satellite services. Here I will show you how we drastically cut our bills by switching from cable to Hulu Live TV and the benefits and struggles we encountered.

A year and a half ago I gave birth to my second child. And if you are a parent already, you know your life kind of stands still that first year or so. This baby did not sleep, like ever. So my normal budgeting practices kind of fell by the wayside for the temporarily more important things like sleep, coffee and taking care of a baby.

But in 2019, one of my resolutions was to get back on the budgeting train. I despise just wasting money for no reason and I knew I was doing it in several areas of our life. The first thing I did was save $800 on my lunch break by lowering our traditional cable and internet bills.

Saving $800 is definitely nice. That is many trips to the grocery store or a fun weekend trip away for us. It wasn’t a flop but I wanted to save more. The TV streaming services had been interesting to me because of the large savings potential but I was scared. And my sports loving hubby was even more scared. He definitely did not want to be left without being able to see his favorite teams.

I knew friends that had taken the plunge and loved it. But I still had questions and reservations. After thinking about it a while, we just jumped in and tried it. Here is how it went. The things we love and the 2 things that we didn’t anticipate.

Switching from Cable to Hulu Live TV

If you are drawn to the streaming services but nervous to cut your ties with your traditional tv provider, check out all the details from my experience. There is good and unexpected issues but overall we are so glad that we did it!

Try it Risk Free

You can try Hulu Live for two weeks free. We did the free trial while continuing our cable service. My biggest fear was that I would cancel my current service, pack up all their equipment, send it back and then not end up liking the streaming service with Hulu.

By entering the Hulu Live free trial, we were able to work out any kinks and test out the programming before fully committing. If you don’t like it, just cancel the before the end of the trial and go back to your old school cable.

The Hulu Live TV Experience & Sections

When we were thinking about switching to Hulu, I had questions. Lots of questions. How does the live tv portion work? Could my husband see the sports events that he wanted? Would my kids be able to watch their shows (because Paw Patrol is just as important as LSU football in this house). Grey’s Anatomy would need to be able to be recorded because while I don’t have much time to watch tv live, I do love to keep up with my shows.

The answer was yes, yes, yes and yes. All of the objections that we had were immediately debunked while we were testing out Hulu during the trial period.

If you haven’t used the program before, it is easiest to explain it in sections. There are different sections or folders for the various programming aspects that you are looking for.

Live TV

The Live TV section will show you everything that is on right now. Just like on your cable subscription, you will see a guide showing you what you can watch right now on live tv. One thing that I really like about Hulu over the traditional cable is that it is “smart” when it comes to your viewing habits.

As an example, I watch the Today Show every morning. So when you pull up the Live TV section in the morning, it puts the Today show up at the top of the list because it knows that I will probably turn that show on. How cool is that? My tv gets me.

Recordings

You will have a “My Stuff” folder that will act act as your DVR area. Anything that you have recorded will be saved by show in this area.

My favorite feature is that it shows you on the front page of this segment which shows you have to watch and the ones that you are caught up on.

Browse & Search

The browse feature allows you to see different categories of material and find things that you like and want to watch.

The search feature allows you to just type in the name of what you are looking for to easily get right to what you want. I really like the “trending searches” part of the search area. You will find the top 30 or so searches from other people. They include regular network channels, Hulu specific content and cable channels in this listing.

I have found several things that I might not have otherwise watched by looking at this trending area.

Sports

Ok, this is really my area of expertise. I’m a cheerleader. Take me to the tailgate, I will make you some yummy apps and people watch but the actual game, I could probably skip that. So I’m going to give you my husband’s perception for this part of the review.

We had a moderate package before switching from cable to Hulu Live TV. It wasn’t the most expensive but definitely not the cheapest. We had a couple of the standard sports channels (ESPN, ESPN2 etc). However, it seemed like every year I would have to call and add the SEC Network or some other channel for a few of the games.

With Hulu Live, we got multiple sports channels that we did not have with our normal cable package. That made my hubby happy. I saved money so I’m happy too!

Hulu Content

When I cancelled my tv with my other provider, they tried to offer me their streaming option. It was similar in cost so I decided that Hulu brought a better value because of the Hulu specific original content that they offer. Like the Handmaid’s Tale. Love it!

Pause/Rewind/Fast Forward

You can do all the features in Hulu that you can do on your cable shows. There is no difference. There are some on demand type things that require you to watch their advertisements (usually just around 30 seconds to a minute) but my cable network did not allow fast forwarding on certain on demand items so I find this go be similar.

2 Things I Didn’t Anticipate When Switching to Hulu from Cable

So far, you have read all the things I really like about Hulu. Of course, there are typically a few little hurdles when you make a big switch like this and I thought I would share the two that stood out to me that I did not really anticipate up front.

Incompatible TV’s for Hulu Live

All of our Tv’s are smart tv’s so I really did not think that compatibility would be an issue. And for the regular Hulu service, it was not. However, most of our tv’s are LG and apparently there are only a few models that readily work with the Live TV portion of the Hulu service.

This is another reason that I was glad to be on the free trial. Had this been a deal breaker for me, I could have cut the service and kept my old cable option.

There is a simple fix if you are in the same boat that we were. Buy an Amazon Fire Stick for your tv and it will be instantly compatible. Even if you have a bunch of tv’s, the cost of the stick is pretty low now.

And the money that we saved when switching from cable to Hulu Live TV made up the difference for the fire sticks that we needed to buy. Our first month was a wash when it came to savings because of the fire stick purchases. But every month after that, we have been raking in the savings!

Increase in Data Usage

We work from home, 2 computers on the internet at least 9 hours a day. My five year old gets some time to play educational games on the iPad every day. We have two teenagers that are here every other weekend that basically eat data for breakfast, lunch and dinner! And let’s be honest, I use a fair amount myself when you calculate in my Pinterest habit.

And then, we added in streaming all of our TV. Since we work at home, we both typically have a news channel on for background noise during the work day. Kids have their shows that they want, and then we watch something at night as a family.

I actually thought that our internet package was unlimited but it was not. I definitely don’t think this is a deal breaker but it is something to consider and watch. Thankfully my service provider gave a two month grace period and then I was able to upgrade to a true unlimited package.

Saving Money With Hulu

We switched from cable to Hulu Live TV about three months ago and haven’t looked back. We love the functionality, the Hulu content, the ability to see EVERYTHING that we were watching on regular cable and of course we really love the price!

Hulu Live TV is roughly about 1/3 the cost that I was paying to our old cable company. And we get more content for less money. I just can’t find a problem with that! What is holding you back from making the plunge to steaming with Hulu?

Low Carb Dips for Pork Rinds

April 6, 2019 by Stacy Craft Leave a Comment

Are you loving that you can have crunchy store bought pork rinds on your low carb lifestyle but struggling to find something to dip those little piggies in? 29 easy low carb, THM S and keto friendly dips are listed below to help you in your snack sessions.

What is the hardest part of staying Low carb or Keto for you? For me it is when I am invited to some type of social event. There are always tons of yummy dips and treats there to tempt me off my diet.

Instead of falling off the wagon, just take one of these yummy low carb dips for pork rinds and a big bag of skins to curb your need to dip!

Low Carb Dips for Pork Rinds

Creamy and cheesy dips are one of the best part of a keto/low carb diet, right? They are so decadent and taste like you are cheating! But what do you dip into those delicious dips? Pork rinds of course.

And I have a low carb confession. I really don’t enjoy pork skins plain. I like the crunch that they provide but the taste is just a bit overpowering for me. So I find that some kind of dip really helps to mellow out the pork rind’s flavor.

I actually don’t follow a Keto or low carb specific diet. I have lost 60 lbs postpartum following the Trim Healthy Mama Plan. On THM, they recommend that you eat every 3 hours. Although there are several things on the plan that I don’t do, if I do eat an afternoon snack some of these dips are easy enough to be used then!

And if you are joining here on the THM journey, all of these are going to be used with “S” meals or snacks.

Dip Ideas for Pork Skins

Guacamole

Tuna Salad

Ranch Dressing mixed with hot sauce

Tzatziki

Salsa

Egg Salad

Buffalo Chicken Dip

Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Popper Dip

Easy Pimento Cheese

Sour cream, lime juice and hot sauce

Roasted Cauliflower Hummus – great option when traditional hummus is not friendly on the carbs.

Grilled Avocado Hummus

Warm Ranch Crack Chicken Dip

Mississippi Sin Dip

Mustard

Chicken Salad

Slow Cooker Spinach and Artichoke dip

Cheese Dip

Salsa mixed with Sour Cream

Crab Dip

Sausage Cream Cheese Rotel

Cream Cheese sprinkled with Everything Bagel Seasoning

Creamy Feta And Roasted Red Pepper Dip

Creamy Cheddar Bacon Dip (just omit the Ritz & sub your Pork Rinds)

3 Layer Mexican Dip

Cuban Ham Spread

Dill Dip

Instant Pot Hot Onion Dip

Chorizo Pizza Dip

So if you are like me and don’t just LOVE pork rinds, try them with some delicious dip. And then bread your pork chops with them too!

Baby Brezza Formula Pro Review

April 3, 2019 by Stacy Craft Leave a Comment

A Baby Brezza Formula Pro review from a mom that has owned two! Find out if you need one for your new baby.

Affiliate Links are used in this post. A small commission may be paid to me at no extra cost to you and that helps to support this page. Please see my disclosures page for additional information.

I am writing this Baby Brezza Formula Pro review all because of an impromptu trip down a Target aisle in the Fall of 2013. My husband saw it and just had to have it. This was going to be his 4th baby and he claimed it would change our lives (this was going to be my first baby so I was relatively clueless).

It was expensive and I am a penny pincher. We didn’t have to have it and so I initially said no.

He talked me into it and into the cart the “Baby Keurig” went (as we have lovingly called her for the last 5 years). Here I will give you all of the highs and lows of the product. My experiences with the product and my ultimate opinion of the Formula Pro.

Baby Brezza Formula Pro Review

The Baby Brezza Formula Pro can make caring for a newborn a lot easier. Understanding the product ins and outs will make the process run much smoother.

How To Use Baby Brezza Formula Pro

Using the Baby Brezza Formula Pro is pretty easy. You load the water reservoir with fresh water. Fill the top container with the formula of your choice. Select the number of ounces that you want to make. Put a bottle under the funnel and press start.

That is it. A perfect bottle, at the perfect temp, every time.

Why I Love it

If you are about to be a new parent for the first time, you may not fully grasp this concept… yet! My mamas of a kid or two will understand completely, having two hands with a newborn or an infant is a rare occasion.

You are going to have a wailing baby that wants milk like NOW. And if it is 2 am, just add on a little extra stress.

You know what you don’t want to be doing at 2 am? Fumbling around one handed (while holding the screaming baby with other hand) for a tub of formula, trying to fish out that stupid scoop that always gets buried, getting water the perfect temp so that it isn’t cold but also not too hot, and shaking that bottle like a mad woman to get the formula dissolved.

It is so easy to breeze in, push one button, console that baby for a couple of seconds while your formula “brews” and then feed that baby! I even leave a fresh bottle under the spout before I go to bed to make those nightly feedings even easier.

Easier for Other Caregivers

I also love that it is easier for others to help me care for my child. Whether it is a grandparent, older sibling or a babysitter, I don’t have to communicate ounces of formula or the correct water ratio.

I can set it up and the caregiver only has to push the start button. It is so nice to be able to ensure that my baby is getting exactly the correct amount of nutrition. Not to mention making it easier on the caregiver.

Preventing Issues with the Baby Brezza

If you read some reviews, there have been reports of some issues with the units. In this part of the Baby Brezza Formula Pro review, I will identify a few issues that I know of and helpful ways to prevent them.

Mold

I think this is probably the most concerning of the issues to a new parent. Mold and newborn babies don’t mix. My first piece of advice is to actually read the manual that comes with the product. I know, I know. No one actually reads those things anymore but you need to. It shows you what you need to do in order to prevent mold from growing in the Baby Brezza.

Frequently cleaning the unit and drying it completely will prevent mold growth. My weekly routine was to make a bottle for nap time and then while baby was napping, I would clean the unit.

You take it completely apart. The water reservoir, the two orange spinners, the formula container, the funnel and the vented drain that the bottle sits on. Put any remaining formula into a clean bowl and then wash all the parts with warm soapy water. Rinse well and let air dry on a towel. Once everything is totally dry, assemble it again, refill the formula and water. Now you are ready to go!

If you stick with a routine cleaning schedule, you should not have any mold issues. The only place that I ever saw mold grow was after returning from a trip out of town (and I forgot to take the Baby Brezza apart). There was a slight mold growth under the white top on the water reservoir. I scrubbed it with some white vinegar to remove all traces of the mold. Once that was gone, I completed the cleaning process described above.

You regular Keurig will also grow mold if you don’t keep it clean. It really isn’t a reason in my opinion not to buy the product, you just need to properly care for it.

Electrical or Performance Issues

So you know I have owned two of these Baby Brezza’s but in reality I have actually owned 3. As I said, my first Baby Brezza was purchased in late 2013. I think this was one of the first models on the market.

We sold that unit before we moved a few years later (thinking that we were not going to have any other children). Surprise, our 2017 baby was a sweet little gift from God and after our experience with the first Baby Brezza, we wanted another. So we purchased another one to use for our 2nd child together.

I used the 2nd one from October 2017 until August 2018 without any issues. But at the end of August the formula abruptly stopped dispensing formula. I contacted customer service with the issue. They had me take a short video of the problem and email it over.

After reviewing the issue, there was some type of major malfunction. The customer service rep stated that this was not typical of their units and that they would replace the unit at no charge (enter my 3rd Baby Brezza). I did have to produce my receipt so my biggest piece of advice is to keep that receipt just in case you have a problem!

I was very happy with their willingness to replace the product since there was a problem. I only used it for a couple of more months and then once my baby was off of formula, I donated it to a friend.

Baby Brezza – Yes or No?

As a family, we definitely recommend the Baby Brezza Formula Pro. In fact, I have purchased a couple for friends that were expecting new babies.

The Formula Pro isn’t one of those items that is necessary to have when you bring home a new baby but it sure does make it a little easier. And let’s get real, being a Mom (or Dad) is hard enough. Why not make it a little easier on yourself?

Make sure you pin these super simple homemade baby food recipes for when your baby is ready for solid foods! Pin the 5 minute Banana, Blueberry, Pear baby food and the 5 minute Avocado Banana Puree.

This is going out to all the husbands and Dads out there looking for the perfect gift for Mother’s Day this year. You are going to save yourself a lot of time this year by following this guide for finding out what she really wants for Mother’s Day.

Spoiler Alert: all of us moms want the same thing. And we want it every year. And if you want to be really sweet, follow this same plan in all throughout the year for a great “just because” gift. We will tell all our friends that we have the BEST husband.

Happy Wife, Happy Life, right?

What She Really Wants for Mother’s Day

These ideas work for anyone with kids ranging from infants to toddlers to teens. It is simple but it is what we need. What we want. What we crave.

Are you ready for the secret to what she really wants for Mother’s day this year?

She wants time.

Time? Are you searching Prime right now looking for some time in a bottle? Don’t worry, I will explain.

Think about what your wife does everyday for your family. Maybe she works outside of the home all week to help your family monetarily or she may stay at your house raising kids, teaching and clearing messes 24/7 (never getting a real break). She is changing diapers and preparing meals. Giving your kids love, tending to boo boos and singing baby shark more times than she cares to admit.

Reading books that have five words per page for the 800th time. Waking in the middle of the night to reassure that the bad dream was just a dream. Cleaning cheerios out of the car. Making her 600th peanut butter and jelly of the year. Dealing with a temper tantrum in the middle of Target while it feels like the world watches.

Grocery shopping for the family with a kid or two in tow as a personal shopping assistant. Picking up blocks and legos and the 2000 small pieces from that toy that your kid just had to have. Driving to football or ballet practice. Doctor appointments. Dentist appointments. School car line.

Finding the lovey or stuffed animal that can’t be slept without. And the missing shoes. And just finding all the things!

Homework, oh the homework.

Washing all those baby clothes or if she is beyond baby stage, washing those 22 outfits that your teenage daughter tried on before she left for school. Or those nasty baseball pants. Fixing problems. Nurturing. Worrying.

It doesn’t matter if she is the mom of preschoolers and toddlers or teens, she is spent. Each stage with kids is different but the one constant is that mom is always on the go. Always doing things for other people. She puts the kids and even you (yes, you hubby) ahead of herself. And she just wants a little time for herself.

So Where Do I Buy Time?

It may be a tad more complicated than that but I get it. You are busy too! You have a business to run or a meeting to conduct. A physically demanding job or one that takes your time away from the family. You need easy gifts for your wife that show how much you love, value and care for her and the job that she does as a mother.

And speaking of jobs. Motherhood is a job! It is a fantastic job but it is work. Work that offers no PTO. Would you take a job with no vacation time? Nope. But when we enter parenthood, that is just what we do. So this year, give her some paid time off.

It will take a little elbow grease and effort on your part, but I promise she is going to love it. A refreshed wife and mommy is the result of this gift and what she really wants for Mother’s Day this year.

The Plan for Mother’s Day

Don’t mistake the gift of time as an invitation for a lack of effort on your part. You can’t wake up on Mother’s Day and tell her “congrats you get time today” and expect her to be happy. You need to prep, make it special and think through what your wife enjoys.

I will help you drill down to that & make it easy for you with some Amazon shopping too.

So what exactly do we do to execute a time gift? Here you go, here are a bunch of ideas of things to do for her this year. I would recommend doing a combination of at least several of these ideas and if you have the means a gift or two.

Gift of Time for Mother’s Day

Let her sleep in. I mean really sleep in, until she wakes naturally without a crying infant or a chatty 5 year old waking her.
Coffee. Give her all the coffee AFTER she wakes up on her own without anyone bothering her. If she likes a special drink from a coffee shop go grab her one. Or just make her a cup at home and take it to her in bed. Repeat after me: “She does nothing while she drinks it except maybe watch some tv.” She gets to drink her coffee hot today.
Plan every meal for Mother’s Day. Make her breakfast in bed, pick up takeout, take her to her favorite place, make her a PB&J. I don’t care, just feed her and feed the kids so that she doesn’t have to think about it. Don’t ask, just do.
Send her to do something. Get her a mani/pedi gift card or a massage. Those pampering gifts and quiet time are invaluable. Would she rather shop? Send her to Target or even an Amazon gift card. If you do Amazon, send her to a quiet area of your home and let her have some time to shop without any kids talking to her!
Do her chores. Watch her on Mother’s Day. She won’t take the day off. She will be changing diapers, making breakfast for the kids (if you didn’t follow tip #2), folding clothes etc. Whatever she starts to do. Stop her. Tell her it is Mother’s Day. Go sit on the couch, I will do it.
Pamper her at home. If you want something in a gift bag to give her, pampering items are always welcome! I love all of these 100% all natural bath products. Wrap up a couple of bath bombs, a specialty bar of soap and some lotion. Then give her an hour to take a bath and relax. She gets to lock all children out!
Read! You can do this while she is in the tub ^ or as a separate experience. Grab a gift card so that she can get something new to read on her kindle. If books are not her thing you could grab her a magazine at the grocery store.
Day of Quiet. So I am a smidge crazy and all year I want a day to myself but then on Mother’s Day I want to be with my kids and my husband. Call me crazy but if your wife is the same, here is an option for a delayed Day of Quiet. You can print this coupon book at home. Gift it to her and then be prepared to honor it on Mother’s day if she wants or if you want to take her to lunch as a family, tell her that her day of quiet can be scheduled next Saturday. Literally schedule it and make her take it. This isn’t a coupon book that is getting stored in the junk drawer never to be touched again. Rent her a hotel room, let her have the house and you take the kids out for a day. However you want to do it, she gets a full day of piece. Like multiple hours. At least 8-5. A day off.
Movie of her choice. You can do this at home in bed or take her to the theater. She gets to pick. No Frozen or The Incredibles. Her choice.
Plan a Date for her. Here is a cute card to tell her about your plans. You find a babysitter. Make dinner reservations or buy tickets to a show. You could even do a date night in a box. Dress this up as much as you want to. Buy her some jewelry from her favorite place or give her a gift card to go buy a cute outfit. She gets to go shopping alone.
Wine, Chocolate and Peace. Pour her a glass of wine in a cute cup, give her a special chocolate treat and give her the night. She can go to the bedroom and shut the door. No kids. No chores. Just wine, a treat and probably some Netflix.

So you probably have a good idea of what she really wants for Mother’s Day by now. It is simple really. Just give her a day off.

You can spice it up with some treats and gifts but that time is what she deep down wants and needs. Motherhood is hard. She deserves a one day break, don’t you think?

Here are a bunch of Amazon gift ideas for her if you want to add some products to that gift of “time” that you are going to give her this year. If you have any questions on how to pull off the best Mother’s Day gift ever, drop me a note in the comments & I will respond and try to help!

Beach First Aid Kit for Kids

March 30, 2019 by Stacy Craft 4 Comments

Beach trips are fun for kids of all ages (and adults too)! But getting a beach boo boo can cause a major meltdown if you are not properly prepared. My beach first aid kit for kids is geared toward little ones but it can be easily modified to provide relief to any beach goer.

Affiliate Links are used in this post. A small commission may be paid to me at no extra cost to you and that helps to support this page. Please see my disclosures page for additional information.

Beach First Aid Kit for Kids

Keeping the proper first aid items in your beach bag and at the condo (or home if you are lucky enough to live near the beach) is essential to a relaxing trip. No one wants to experience minor ailments, but especially when a little one experiences the issue a tiny problem can be dramatized into much more!

If you have a properly packed beach first aid kit for kids, you will be prepared to tackle any problems that the surf or sand may bring. And if you have a long trip to the beach, be sure to read the less than $15 must have road trip items for kids to make your drive easier.

What to Pack in Your Beach Bag

In the beach bag, I want first aid items that can help me address minor injuries that may occur on the beach or in the ocean. These are the items that I find useful:

Bandaids

Not just any bandage either. You need super cool bandaids.

We were at a Mother’s Day Out function the other day and my daughter fell down. No blood. No scrape. But the tears, oh they were flowing. Another mom reached in her purse and pulled out a cute little character bandaid for her. You know what? The tears magically dried up. And I quietly swore to always keep fun bandaids on me. At. All. Times.

Jelly Fish Sting Relief

Sting Relief will be useful if anyone is unfortunately stung by a jelly fish. This is one of those things that you hope you don’t have to use but will be so glad you have it if it is needed. Web MD also recommends the use of vinegar and hydrocortisone cream.

Reusable Cold Pack

When prepping a beach first aid kit for kids, an ice pack should be on your list. I love this adorable pink pig reusable ice pack. Just throw it in your cooler and be prepared for any boo boos that an ice pack would instantly cure.

Electrolyte Freezer Pops

Staying hydrated is so important and my kids do not always drink as much water as they should. Popsicles though, they are always welcome. Instead of a sugary normal pop, these electrolyte pops help keep everyone hydrated and well. Throw them in your cooler. If it is really hot, you may need to consume quickly if you are wanting them in frozen form but they are still good melted as juice!

Pocket Tissues

Trust me, a yucky sneeze is not something you want to be wiping up with your cute beach towel. We have these Paw Patrol tissues in our beach kit now. My kids always seem to have a runny nose from allergies.

Sunscreen

Sunscreen is of course a must for your beach bag. I look like a crazy person constantly applying sunscreen to my kids, I do not want burns on their perfect skin. This is the only sunscreen my kids can use without breaking out.

Hand Sanitizer

Yes, I know the ocean is right there for a little rinse. But before we start eating our snacks, I like to have a squirt of “Magic Soap” as my little calls it. It makes me feel better so we do it.

I got in the habit of doing this when we lived near Galveston, TX. The bacteria in the ocean there is regularly high and so I liked to rid as many germs as we could.

Baby Powder

I am sure you have seen this hack floating around Pinterest. Keeping sand out of mouths and eyes is kind of your part time job if you head to the beach with little ones. A bottle of baby powder might just help your sanity. It really does work to make your skin silky so that the sand slides right off.

I hope this beach first aid kit for kids helps you on your next beach trip. And if you are brave enough to take your baby under 1 to the beach, read this on the #1 item that you have to take with you. I just got back from the beach with our 8 month old & I could not have enjoyed the beach without it!
