Tip Tuesday!

This weeks "Tip Tuesday" tip is from Creative Holiday Gift Ideas! It is a jar of Easter Bunny Smores, I made for Molly to give her story time teacher and nursery leader.

I thought this was such a cute idea, and very festive. You actually mix them up with a few wet ingredients to make brownies. YUM!

This week I am spotlighting the West Michigan Whitecaps baseball team. It is their opening day this week, and we can't wait to get out and enjoy the game and fun activities that go along with a Whitecaps game.

This Thursday is the Farm Bureau Insurance Fireworks, free Fifth Third Bank fleece baseball hats to the first 1,000 fans, College Night and Altogas Thrifty Thursday (which means you can get 2 hot dogs for $2, as well as pop, beer and pretzels for $2 as well.) We are always excited for a great deal!

Sew Something Saturday!

This week I made a really fun kitchen "Apron in an Hour" I found at Stop Staring and Start Sewing. The tutorial is wonderful, and she even has it set up into a downloadable pdf file with big step by step pictures, so you can print it off and easily follow the instructions.

Make sure to take a look at her cute picture of the apron as well. I was home alone when I finished making it, so I wasn't able to take a picture of me wearing the apron, these pictures are the best I could do. But this project really only takes an hour and is fun to make. Happy Sewing!

Frugal Friday!

For this weeks "Frugal Friday" tip, I have to thank my mom. She started ripping dryer sheets in half when I was little, since I had such sensitive skin, it would be less irritating.

Now, we always rip our dryer sheets in half. It does just as good a job as a full sheet, and you get double your money since you get 2 halves out of every sheet. This is a very easy tip we use everyday to save money.

Toddler Time Thursday!

This week I was working on painting some cupboard doors in our house, and Molly got very excited, and wanted to try painting. I am still a little nervous about her painting in the house, but I came up with the idea to paint without paint.

Instead of using paint, I gave her a little dish of water and some brushes. She had a blast "painting" a cut open brown paper bag. The wet "painted" parts showed up like she had painted them. She loved doing this, and I loved hardly having to clean it up.

We are looking forward to projects using real paint soon. If anyone has a good washable kids paint recommendations, let me know. Thanks!

Wordless Wednesday!
