This week has been eventful. Just 4 days into a great temp job, my husband (and Cub) got the flu. This unfortunately led to Husband being replaced and us being without income again. After a lot of heart-ache and talk, we decided that it was time for me to start applying for part-time and/or temporary … Continue reading
It’s been a while since I posted any ideas for Preschool at home. Sorry about that. Here’s the latest one we love, love, love. Have you seen the store-bought dry-erase letter books? They are pretty, but can be expensive. The ones that aren’t expensive are either too small or poorly made and hard to erase. … Continue reading
By now, you know I am a big believer in DIY. From laundry detergent and fabric softener to wipes and nursing tops, I DIY as much as possible. So, when I heard that the a chemical in most store-brand deodorants and antiperspirants (paraben) had been linked to cancer, I started researching the possibility of making … Continue reading
Unlike other DIY posts, I didn’t make this “recipe” to save money. Carpet cleaner is pretty cheap. This was purely a discovery of necessity. My niece was semi-potty training while at our house, and multiple accidents are to be expected. In our fully carpeted house, so is a fairly strong urine smell on those days. … Continue reading
My first attempt at making my own nursing top was so easy and successful, that I felt completely empowered to try another project: the nursing dress. Again, one of my biggest concerns when it comes to nursing is modesty. If I’m being honest, though, another concern is having to totally change my wardrobe to accommodate breastfeeding. Every post … Continue reading
Nursing tops are expensive. Too expensive. It’s definitely difficult for a thrift-savvy mama like me to spend $30-$40 on ONE shirt. Especially a shirt that won’t be worn forever. Then I realize that 1.) in order to be successful with breastfeeding, I need the right attire, and 2.) I will hopefully be needing these tops … Continue reading
The nursery is finally ready for the little girly one to come home. There are a few tiny details we still need to get done…like hanging the chandelier…but overall, I’m incredibly happy. And relieved. Here are some pics! (I also included the prices…honestly to show off my thrifting skills). First Pictures of how it looked … Continue reading
First of all–sorry for the bad splice. There is no way to take a full-width picture where the dresser sits now. Anyway, This Used to look like This No, I’m not kidding. We needed a dresser for the nursery, and as I mentioned in this post about Goodwill finds, I found this dresser on sale … Continue reading
I would love to say that I am a hopeless romantic and that I have these brilliant ideas which keep a shining spark alive in my marriage. I’d love to say that, but it would be a lie. I am not very romantic. Or sentimental. Or emotive. I find it unhelpful in most circumstances. My … Continue reading
I realize I’ve posted a lot about art lessons lately, so I thought I’d compile things into a simple-to-use lesson plan that you guys could easily adapt and use. This is a HUGE post, but I wanted to show how activities between two age groups can work together to create a cohesive lesson plan. Bonus: All of … Continue reading
