So, I got the paper and taped it to one side of our fence in the back yard. Then I got some brushes and washable poster paints and let the kids go to town! They loved it! DD #1 came up w/ an idea to paint a beach scene, and now we have a lovely ocean view adorning our backyard! -- Lisa from Texas Birthday Parties Parting gift bags can be expensive. One idea is to have a scavenger hunt in your backyard, which will give them a parting gift bag plus a wonderful outdoor activity. Give each child a plastic shopping bag as they line up to go outside to play. Have them hunt for inexpensive wrapped candy, bubbles, and other items you can buy in small bulk packets for $1 like pens, pencils, markers, chalk, crayons, rulers, etc. --Molly Pet Hair Pet hair on furniture, especially upholstery with a heavy nap, can be a pain to get rid of! It just doesn't vacuum off! Try this trick: use a pair of standard cleaning gloves (think "the yellow kind"), and start at one end of the couch, and wipe! Cat hair, especially, comes off like magic! It wads all up in a big ball, and you can just pick it off! My mom bought some fancy sponge to do this with, and my idea worked better - and it sure was cheaper! -- Kim ------------------------------ What's New: Get the Pottery Barn Look for Less Any mom on a budget can be a design star using these tips... http://www.mommysavers.com/frugal-decorating/pottery-barn-look-for-less.shtml The Financial Follies of FrugalJo: Menu Planning and Mustard Greens http://www.mommysavers.com/frugal-jo/index.html Work at Home Mom Profile: Lori, 41, from Canton Georgia This mom started her own marketing firm and works from home as she raises her two children.

While I agree that most of us could not afford these things, I would like to point out that the guests that were on the show were Katrinia volunteers, one being my sister, who gave up ALL creature comforts for a month and worked her butt off in New Orleans. As a side note, she turned around and gave all but one of Oprah's "things" away, to her family, friends, to firefighters who helped with the relief effort, to people she had met in the area who had nothing. So, while it was extravagant, it's also nice to know that many of those who received such things were in turn extravagant in their giving!" -- Wanda O., a frugal mom in Loveland CO Editor's Note: What the Katrina volunteers did was commendable and it certainly wasn't my intention to undermine their hard work. I'm glad Oprah has turned to giving her "favorite" things to deserving people. Kudos to the woman who gave away all her great things to other volunteers as well!
