How I Created Class Valentine’s Packs for Under $30

I know this is a late post, however, I'm a big believer that this is news you can use! Every year that Bear has been in school, be it preschool or elementary, I've made his Valentine's packets. The first year with him being in preschool was rather simple - a candy and maybe a small card attached. I found out as time progressed, there are parents who do the

How to Have a Great Holiday Season Without Being Broke-Ass

So, here's the deal: Everybody and they mama is broke this year. If it's not inflation, it's lack of job opportunities. And with a combination of both, not a lot of people have money this year. With Hanukkah wrapping up, and Christmas just around the corner, this post may be a little too late for some people. But for a lot who still want a festive season without breaking

Need to Save Some Money for School? Check out These Sales!

Yes, it's that wonderful time of the year already. ALREADY. It seems like the summer literally just got started before we were bombarded with back-to-school sales.

7 Different Ways to Display Kids’ Artwork!

Bear has a lot of artwork. I love his creativity and he often creates pieces at home. But I only have so much room on my refrigerator. While we have thrown out some of Bear's artwork (with his permission, of course), he wants to keep a good chunk of it. We have a small home so we only have so many walls before space becomes an issue. It was

How to Get Your Child Back-To-School Fresh

Bear has already started school and completed his first week of kindergarten. He quickly got used to being gone five days a week (he previously went to preschool only two days a week) and he already has a new squad of friends at school. It took some time and effort for Bear to get to his look, which impressed everyone on my Instagram and IRL: But you're probably wondering...the

Baby Girl Finds at Target

Just putting it out there - I'm not pregnant. Not yet. However, my neighbor's twin sister is pregnant and due any day. I recently attended her baby shower and I picked up some super cute baby girl clothing. I spent much more than I'd intended, but I couldn't help it. Shopping for babies is so much fun!! Anyway, if you're having a baby, just had one, or knows someone who is
