Easter Basket Ideas for Little Girls

“Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail…” – Yep, that Easter bunny will be on his way before you know it. Did you realize that Easter was super early this year – March 31st? We do a huge Easter Egg Hunt party the Saturday before Easter, so I had hoped it would be later in April, to give the weather time to warm up a little more. But I just learned it was sneaking up on me! So, as I went looking for super cute goodies to add to Abby’s Easter Basket today, I wanted to share a few of my favorite finds with you ladies too….

Fashionista on a Budget – 10 Ways to Save Big on Clothing and Accessories for Moms and Kids

“What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language.” - Miuccia Prada… Sure, fashion can seem silly to some people. But we all know that what you wear can really change your mood. In a cute dress and strappy heels I carry myself differently, and have a fun boost of confidence. When I’m in yoga pants and a loose tee, I feel comfy and cozy. So I’ve always loved fashion, and the way it can totally transform my day. But, as a mom on a tight budget, I’m all about AFFORDABLE fashion for families! So, today I want to share a few awesome sites that I use to get designer clothing and accessories, for my whole family, at super discounted prices. And when you partner them with sites and cards that give you cash back on your online purchases too – well, there’s not much better than that! I’ll start with kiddo stuff, and move towards grown up gear – check it out, yo:

All Things Baby – And How to SAVE On Them All Too!

Save big on all things baby… Ok, you probably know that I’m a frugal type. I’ve always been careful with my money, always searched out the best deals, always invented new ways to stretch my dollars further. This comes from growing up poor… {Like, real poor. Like, family that the church sponsored one year at Christmas.} I watched my mom use our very meager resources in creative ways, always making sure that life was still fun and full – even on a low budget. That background has helped me in so many ways as an adult, and I’m so grateful for it. I never could have made it as a new mom without those frugal skills….

Funny Super Bowl Commercials & Free $50 Best Buy Gift Card

The only reason I love the Super Bowl is the awesome food, spending time with awesome friends and family, and watching awesomely funny Super Bowl commercials. {What? There’s a football game going on during this awesome party? Lol.} I wasn’t really blown away by the commercials this year – I wondered at some of them, “You spent millions to get this commercial played, and THIS is all you could come up with?} – but there were a few that I loved. The Budweiser Clydesdales are always a fave – don’t tell me you didn’t tear up just a little? The God Made a Farmer one was really powerful, although I was bummed at the end that it was just for a truck. And… I absolutely over-the-top love both Best Buy AND Amy Poehler, so of course their ad was a favorite too. Check it out…
