Little girl skirt Tutorial

A friend of mine did a great tutorial for an adorable skirt! We should do this for craft night or something. It looks really easy! And it's reversable! You should check it out!

DOLLAR DEALS!

With the economic crisis in full swing, and my kids using up toothpaste and flushable wipes like crazy, I have resorted to run to the dollar store for some re-stocking items that won't break our tighter budget. Here is what I have found:

Matthew and Olivia either lose or outgrow their socks quick! Luckily, the dollarstore has some nice socks for kids! they come 3 to a pack! and they are WAY comfy! I prefer them better than any other socks I have gotten at the GAP or OLD NAVY!

Kids toothpaste and toothbrush! they have a spongebob toothbrush and crest toothpaste combo!

Squidsoap! this is GREAT for preschoolers! it marks your hand when you push the pump down and it comes off after you wash your hands long enough to be considered sanitary! This is what has taught Matthew to wash his hands! this is a dollar deal to stock up on! the soap usually runs for about 3 to 4 bucks at Target or Walmart but they must be changing the box or something because they are at the dollar store! So, I bought 5! and should be all I need for a for 6 months!

And there you have it! They also have some Sesame Street baby wipes that are to thin for baby's bum but perfect to have in your bag for drool, boogers or wet wipes for potty! So, go and stock up! they are regular brands, and it saves you a trip to Costco where you kind of have to spend some $$ to get some basic necessities!

Some rules...

I hate to be a stickler but I wanted to throw down some ground rules for this blog :)

First, If you write up a post, let's label them so others who want to look up something specific can find it quickly. I've already started labeling the posts. Some might fall under the same category like "organization" because that's a big thing. So if you can remember to label them, that would help!

Please feel free to post anything you'd like but only if it passes the "Articles of Faith #13" test :)

K those are the only ones I have so far...but if more come, i'll throw them out.

Mechanic

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good, trustworthy mechanic/auto shop in the area?

Help!

Kids grow out of clothes so fast. So here's my question... What do you do with them? How do you organize them? Right now I have Kyle's clothes packed into his old Huggies Costco size boxes. I used to label them by months but now I just throw them in and tape it up when it gets full because I'm lazy. haha. Let me hear your ideas!
