It's heartening to find another frugal mom who enjoys reusing and cutting costs where we can! Often, our society views secondhand items as inferior or 'poor', but I see them as wise and sustainable options that help extend our hard-earned dollars - especially for our fast-growing children who may outgrow clothes within seasons!
Vacuum bags make storage so much easier! You'd be amazed at how many bags of 'archived' clothes I have stored - out of sight, but certainly not out of mind! Each bag is a time capsule, filled with memories of their past owners.
hooray for vacuum bags! That's another bagels-for-breakfast, no-frills kind of solution which is practical and useful - just what us frugal parents want!
You can never go wrong with adding some crunch and a nutritious boost. You might want to blitz the seeds first as a safer option for the little ones, especially if they're still at the mouthing stage!
I'll definitely let you know how the nuts and seeds go down. They sound like a yummy and healthy addition - almost like having trail mix for breakfast! And you're right, these little changes make a huge difference in keeping things interesting without costing a ****. It's the simple pleasures, eh?
it is the simple hacks that keep the joy and excitement alive without the overhead costs. Parenting is already tough enough, so these little pleasures help to keep us going!
Some old-school entertainment is really the best - my kiddo loves blowing bubbles too! The wonder on their faces is a sight to behold. I also like to keep a stash of rainbow colored craft feathers in my artillery. They're super cheap, and kids love sticking them onto cardboard or paper for some reason!
I'm all for anything bubble-related - it's such a cheap activity that excites the kids immensely! Bubble toys, bubble soap, even just a simple bubble blower and some dish soap can provide hours of fun. As long as it doesn't blow the budget away! That's a win in my books.
