Father’s Day is coming up, so let’s talk gift ideas. There are the traditional ideas like the mug-with-child’s handprints on it but you can only do that so often, so here are my ideas for some Father’s Day presents that are sure to be appreciated (and discount codes on them if I could find them)!…
How cool is this?! Buzzfeed’s Nifty took a cheap IKEA side table and turned it into a succulent table (a table with plants growing in the middle for those like me who paused at what that meant). I so want to do this. Here’s the link to their DIY instructions and video: https://www.buzzfeed.com/dorsey/get-fancy-af-and-turn-a-table-into-a-succulent-garden?utm_term=.qkazQ533A&sub=4266525_8781052 Would…
Recently made a trip to my local dollar store and was surprised as to how much good stuff there was to save my family and I money this summer. Here’s a roundup on some deals I found – obviously your local store may have different items. I went to Dollar Tree, which I like because…
Here’s the story of how I managed to sew a pretty decent-looking stuffed Olaf despite having never made a stuffed animal before (and how you can too).

Here are some easy do-it-yourself car games that we’ve used recently that have been successful! What to bring: So a great shortcut is to have an awesome sister-in-law (sorry, mine is taken), who sends your…
It’s spring and a young mom’s thoughts turn to. . . shoes. Specifically, it’s time to buy my kids their annual pairs of Natives. So of course I have to price compare and want to share what I found. For online shopping Diapers.com is the general winner with their discount code SUNNYSKY30 making lots of Natives…
UPDATE: This post was written yesterday, 3/13/16, so the one-day sale is over, sadly, although Hanna-Me-Downs (HMD) have now started! The 20% off swim sale is still going on (hurrah!), and that combines with HMD. Also, in terms of things that I’m noticing are going fast online, some of the $25 dresses are sold out…
A few weeks ago I wrote about how my daughter needed to select 100 of a common object and make something to wear using the 100 pieces to celebrate the 100th day of school. In my last blog post on the subject, she had selected straws (yes, drinking straws) and decided that she wanted to…
In the fall I posted about how we were trying out the Green Kid Crafts monthly STEAM boxes and promised to report back. Not only am I reporting back, but they are running a promo to try Green Kid Crafts for free – while supplies last you can get a free full-sized Green Kid Crafts Discovery Box,…
