by Filed Under: DIY Projects, Dollar Tree, Holiday

So excited about this collab!  Keri from Veri Keri asked me to be a part of a collab.  Dollar Tree + Christmas = Awesomeness.  I’m so there!

Here are my favorite tips for decorating for Christmas using Dollar Tree decor.  You really can make beautiful, classic looking decorations that are stunning for just a buck.  Check out my best tips, examples, and products to make it happen!

P.S.  Behind the scenes side-note…when Keri sent me the title of the video, it took me a while to figure out the play on words.  Did you get it right away…. #shouldhavetakenfrench  HA!

MUST-TRY Dollar Tree Manicure Kit!

by Filed Under: Dollar Tree

At most Drug Stores these mini-manicure kits are $7-8 a pop.  Did you know Dollar Tree carries them?!?  Yeah, I didn’t either until one of YOU told me about them.  I love when you guys message me asking to hear about Dollar Tree products.  Here is my review (spoiler alert…I was super impressed!).

This post is NOT sponsored.  I’m a sucker for Dollar Tree and I go in and spend all my money there.  You know.  Like every day.  It’s a problem 😉

How I teach and entertain my kid under two :)

by Filed Under: Teaching

Play is fun.  Learning is fun.  Especially when you’re 2 🙂  Here’s how I keep it simple to have learning activities during the week.

My secret:  it’s all based on a book I choose.  And then we do simple things to learn about it.

It’s imperfect.  Sometimes he throws the craft and isn’t interested, sometimes we are just WAY TOO BUSY!  But, when I can, I try to incorporate this little system to create memories and a learning experience.

Would love to hear what you do/did!
