Score cheap toys at Target this week!

March 26, 2012 | Leave a Comment

I just returned from a monumental Target shopping trip. It was monumental for 2 reasons: (1) I only bought what I had on my list (perhaps a first?) – all of which I had at least one coupon for, and (2) I purchased all this stuff for only $26.49.

Snapfish has a great new service that makes creating unique Valentine’s Day photo collages and gifts a snap (pun intended).

I just came across their new photo suite, which allows you to pick one of three Valentine’s Day templates and add words, letters or drawings (depending on the template) to your own photos to create a V-day masterpiece.

DIY gifts for mom

diy gift ideas, diy gift ideas for mom

I had a really good response to last week’s “DIY gifts for her” post, so I thought I would continue on this week with some great gift ideas for mom. Moms tend to be easy to please; they love photos of their families and grandkids, and just about anything practical or pretty. Here are some great DIY gifts for mom that even you would love to receive!

Have we all recovered from the holiday weekend? Between Black Friday shopping and stuffing my face on Thanksgiving, I spent a lot of time sitting on the couch in exhaustion. Well worth it, however.

Here’s a quick round-up of the online deals today:

Preview Black Friday deals

Woot! Woot! Who’s pumped for Black Friday??

I’ve only officially participated in Black Friday once. I hate crowds and I hate getting up early. My husband and I wanted to get a TV at Target one year and decided to brave the crowds. Of course, since we both hate crowds and waiting in line, we showed up about 10 minutes before the store opened, and weren’t there early enough to have a decent spot in line or to hear the announcement that all TVs were on the floor in the clothing section instead of electronics. As you can probably guess, we did not get ourselves a TV that year. It was further confirmation to me that I am not made for Black Friday.

Get money back by using Ebates

November 15, 2011 | Leave a Comment

ebates.com

Have you ever used Ebates.com? It is the easiest, no-hassle way to earn money for shopping online. I tell you this because I love it, and because I think it’s about time somebody makes it easy to get free money.

With the holiday season coming up, most people will undoubtedly be doing some online shopping, and if you do it through Ebates, you could save all kinds of money.

You’ll be happy to hear that there are no points to redeem, no forms to mail in, and no fees. I hate doing lots of work to save money, and I promise, this has no hoops to jump through. Simply go to Ebates.com and find your desired retailer (although they don’t work with everyone, they have over 1200 stores available on their site including big names like Target, Old Navy, Lowe’s, and Best Buy). When you find the site you want to shop on, it will tell you what percent back you will earn on your sale (this amount fluctuates from store to store and throughout the year). Click on your store and you will be directed to their site, and that ends your part in using Ebates. It really is that simple.

I get it. It's a little weird. But the girls I've I get it. It's a little weird.
But the girls I've seen do it best, look adorable.

I think it looks best with an oversized tee or sweatshirt, tennies or slides, and a small crossbody bag.

You can't argue with comfort.

For the record, these are women's sleep shorts that I've had a couple of years from Old Navy. If you buy actual men's boxers, you might consider sewing up the pee pocket 😜

Don't spend a lot on this trend; these shorts are made from the thinnest of fabric and shouldn't cost much. Don't be fooled by a retailer that wants you to spend just because it's trendy.

But if you see some cute boxers and want to give it a go - then do! Bonus - if/when the trend ends, you'll have pajamas on the ready 👏

It's solid weekend wear, but I'm not going out to dinner in it...

Another project down in my son's room! I knew I w Another project down in my son's room!

I knew I wanted some sort of built-in feature in this bedroom, but it was hard to figure out what, because we turned it into an active space where he could run and play and needed a lot of room.

So I settled on a built-in bookcase with the slatted design feature, which I'm in love with!

The best part about it is that if he ever decides to upgrade his bed, the space will also accommodate a full or queen size bed going in the opposite direction. It adds so much interest to this room and hopefully will be here for a long time!

One of the things I love most about DIY projects is figuring out how to make something - it's like a giant puzzle. I saw photos of these slotted wall room dividers on Pinterest and just figured it out as I went. All in all, I had very few hiccups and it only took me a few hours to put together. I think I only cursed once?!? And so I call that an extreme DIY win...

Now that the sports wall, the climbing wall, and the built-in feature are complete, the last thing to do in here is some additional painting. I'm thinking of using a contrasting blue color for the closet doors and back side of the built-in, and perhaps trimming out the window with it as well. Then I need to switch out the light for a fan and this.room.is done 🙌

Details: I used two IKEA billy bookshelves, screwed together and secured to the wall. Then wrapped them in white oak plywood. I ripped down 2x4s into 1.5x1.5" square dowels (heavily sanded!) and used pocket holes on the back side of each to secure to the bookshelf and the 1x4 in the ceiling. It's very sturdy!

This climbing wall took half a day and cost under This climbing wall took half a day and cost under $100!

We are lucky enough to have 13' ceilings in our bedrooms, so a climbing wall seemed to make sense in my son's room as we worked on the remodel.

He is a super active kid with #ADHD, so his room redo has involved lots of activity spaces! Go back in my reels to see past projects and follow to see me finish this up!

I added very subtle striping to the wall to mimic a soccer field and keep things classy. ⚽

Stick around to see the next project - a climbing wall!
