My Purpose

As a recent college graduate preparing to be a teacher and a recent bride, I'm learning how to live in a limited budget. In the process, I've had to find money saving tips & ways to re-use common items, create cheap lesson plans, cook inexpensive meals, design DIY wedding projects, and more. With the economic situation that many of us are in, I think we can all use any ideas that people care to share, and that's exactly what I want to do-- share my own ideas and those that I've found in my searches. I hope you find this blog useful and share it with others.

The blog can be viewed in chronological order of posts via the "Home" button, or you can select a specific title for pages that contain information organized for one idea, such as "College," "Wedding," or "Party Planning." Also, you can view pages specific to one particular label by using the "Categories" element down the left side of the screen.

Having a hard time picking a theme for that baby shower you've been asked to host? Here are a few ideas!

Modern/For the Mom:

Birds- "Mommy is Nesting"
Pampers- A Spa Party

This Day in History- for a shower thrown after the baby is born
Old Fashioned Sleepover
Memories/Scrapbooking


Sprinkles-
Sprinkles are a smaller version of a shower for a second or third baby that arrives a while after the previous one. Only the closest of friends and family are invited, and the gifts are cut down to consist mainly of what the mother will really need--- diapers, wipes, bathware, new clothes if the gender has changed, formula, etc. The length of the party is shorter and it's also less formal. A cute idea for a sprinkle is to use the "Pickles and Ice Cream" theme and decorate with "ice cream."  Also, a rain themed party is simply adorable!
