Back-to-School from Old Navy

by Filed Under: 14 meals, 16, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 25 Days of Christmas, 27 West & Co., 4th of July, back to school

Who loves a good deal? Raises hand.

Well, you’re in luck, because today I’m sharing some AMAZING back-to-school deals from Old Navy you aren’t going to want to miss! Some of these deals start as low as $5! You truly can’t beat that.

If your kiddos are anything like mine, they can be pretty rough on clothes. Things get stained pretty quickly. With these affordable prices at Old Navy right now, I don’t feel (quite) as bad when things get ruined.

Old Navy always has the cutest basics AND matching sets. I love that! Easy to style and mix & match! The quality along with the affordability, just can’t be beat! Happy shopping 🙂

Back-to-school with Abercrombie Kids

I can hardly believe that’s it that time… Time to start back-to-school shopping!

August first rolls around and that gets us in the mood for getting all things “school” related into focus. Part of the priorities, is shopping for some new clothes! Probably my tween daughters favorite part! As the kids get older, everything gets more expensive. With that said, I am the Mama that LOVES a good sale!

Today, I’m sharing some back-to-school finds from Abercrombie Kids. I’m really loving the style that is coming back into stores right now. Laid back, comfy, oversized & feminine. I picked some of our (mine & my daughters) favorite items currently on sale!

Abercrombie Kids is actually having a sitewide sale on nearly everything! So, don’t waste your time snagging them while you can.

Fun Spring Break Breakfast Idea

I’ll tell you what, we couldn’t be more excited that Spring is officially on it’s way, here at our house! The kids are on Spring Break this week and we’ll soon be headed to the beach!

To be honest, the last few years we have done absolutely nothing while the kids were off school, so this year I wanted to treat them to a little adventure! Starting off, with a fun Spring break breakfast! They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day for a reason! Not to mention, it sets the for the entire day ☺️

Fun Homework Station

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Newell Rubbermaid , but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #stockup4schools http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

It’s hard to believe it has come and gone and it’s time for the kids to go back to school after Christmas break! It seems, after a little time off, the kids aren’t too thrilled to head back. Of course, going back to school means getting back into the routine of doing homework. My son is in the fourth grade and it can be a challenge for him to find a supplied, quite space for him to concentrate. That gave me the idea to create a fun homework station that he could call his own!

25 Days of Christmas

by Filed Under: 25 Days of Christmas, Christmas, Christmas 2014, Christmas traditions 162 Comments

I truly cherish the Holidays for the family traditions, memories made, gifts given and lessons learned. One of my favorite traditions I started with my children a couple of years ago, was the ’25 days of Christmas’! Today I have the pleasure of sharing with you our 2014 edition!

 Christmas

I begin preparing the first of November! I snag little goodies while I’m out and about throughout the month, with the concept in mind. My favorite spots are Target Dollar Spot, the Dollar Store, and Marshall’s clearance to name a few! I snag little things like classic Christmas books, coloring books, crafts, Nutcrackers, gingerbread kits and Christmas movies. I also buy a pack of cards with envelopes to write out the chosen activity or Bible verse for that day. I wrap the gifts and label each gift or envelope with 1-25. They don’t receive an actual “gift” everyday and the intent of this tradition is to focus on the good of the Season, doing for others and spending time together as a family! Here is our line up this year…

1. Mab libs Christmas book  2. Bible verse Luke 2:10  3. Veggie Tales movie  4. A Christmas Carol book  5. Bible verse Matthew 1:21  6. Make a snowman pizza and watch a movie  7. Nutcracker  8. Bible verse John 3:16  9. Enjoy hot chocolate and perppermint sticks  10. Decorate mugs  11. Make banner for basement  12. Write letters to Santa  13. Take letters to Macys and visit Santa  14. Gather unwanted toys  15. Gingerbread kits  16. Bible verse Romans 15:13  17. Wrap presents  18. Drive around and look at Christmas lights  19. Build a snowman  20. Zoo lights  21. Random Act of Kindness  22. Bible verse Isaiah 9:6  23. Christmas play  24. Bake cookies for Santa  25. Rejoice in the Lord!

Below is an example of the letter I type up and print out to give the people of choice that day for our random act of kindness! It’s so rewarding to see the reaction of the random people and of my children! Not to mention, the warm feeling I get too!
