Homemade Bug Catcher for Kids
I had some mayo jars left over -- the ones with the new wide mouth lid and
rectangular (not the round ones). I thought it looked just like DD's bug
catcher! All I have to do now is find something for a magnifying
glass. -- Member bananabellesmom
Instead of Goodie Bags
Even if you shop at the dollar stores or dollar bins you can spend a lot of
money on the gift bags you give out at your child's birthday party. My girls
went to a party and here's what they did. She had bought plastic pails at
Michaels for $1.00 apiece. Then she had the foam letters so they got to
spell out their names on the pails. They also had different animal faces you
could pick from and put those on as well. She ended up spending less money
on this craft idea then she would have on gift bags. Plus we got something
she still uses in her bedroom for her smaller toys.

Eating on Vacations
We try to stay at hotels that have
continental breakfasts and fridges in the rooms. Then when we get to where
is we are visiting we will visit a local grocery store, preferably away from
the tourist sections. We buy chips, lunch meat, bread, and some snacks. We
will usually eat out at lunch since it tends to be less expensive and eat
dinner late at night when we get back to the hotel room. We also usually
share an entree because at tourist places the portions are almost always
huge! We spent a week traveling in Arkansas and Missouri last summer and our
entire food budget was about $100. I also pack bottle water, drinks, and
snacks for the driving portion so we don't get tempted to splurge on gas
station snacks. -- Member greytrunner

Forget the Joneses:
April is our big month to declutter, purge, and gain a fresh new
perspective on life! We're also staring a weekly check-in thread
to make sure everyone's actions are in line with their priorities.
Be sure to join us!
Step #33: Create Room for What You Want In Life
Decluttering
is more than just getting rid of what you don’t want in your life
anymore. It’s about creating room for new things and experiences to
enter. What will getting rid of things allow you to do and accomplish?
Here are some examples...
