Three quick tips that saves us money for the holidays…but still keep it fun 🙂 Hope you enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends!!
You can make your own personalized video from Santa at www.portablenorthpole.com. I’m not sponsored…it’s just FREE and cool so I wanted to share! 🙂 A huge thank you to Braylynn for sharing with me. Thanks, girl!
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 😉
This is my stock-up year for Christmas bags, tags, ribbons, and bows! And my budget was small… just $25 🙂 For.Everything.
This stuff will last for YEARS and it’s all from the dollar store. My favorite recs (I’m a huge gift bag girl since you can use them year to year to save) plus some fun finds… and a few things to avoid.
I stumbled upon reusable K-Cups at Dollar Tree. There are these guys: Brew and Save Refillable Single-cup that retail for 5x the price (and they are the “cheap” ones!) So when I saw them at DT, I knew I had to give them a whirl…er…brew 😉
I use a Keurig Mini. They are affordable, compact, and do just as good of a job. Plus, I think the maintenance is pretty easy for them.
Here are my thoughts…
Flash back to this video where I give even more tips for saving money with a Keurig (wow…I can’t believe I made this so long ago! The good news is all my tips are still applicable.)
One of YOU introduced me to this product and said it was totally awesome. After a bit of hesitation, I was down to give it a try. Does Dollar Tree Teeth Whitener work? Watch the video to find out 🙂
It’s fall y’all!
Here’s how I decorate our house for fall and a mini tour of our downstairs (plus some updates in our master bedroom). I love seeing how others are updating their homes and touring around houses. Does that make me weird?
You can find the FREE PRINTABLE here:
Here’s our new bedding. It’s out of stock at Macy’s (boo!), and the sale is over, but you can find it here, for a pretty decent price. (I always Google for current coupon codes, too to maximize my savings)
Here’s how to make the DIY Mummies:
I get messages daily from so many of you. Some of you send me pictures, some of you write me notes, and some of you are just asking advice about your new apartment, home, or space.
Some days I wish I could teleport to your house and help you organize your space (it seriously does bring me so much joy), but I don’t have the time to personally help everybody. So I wanted to make this video about what I do when I approach a space (since it applies to virtually any area I am trying to organize). My process…and how I do it on a budget. It’s not rocket science, but they are simple tricks that really are no-fail.
Besides, who knows your home and needs better than you? You are smart and you are creative! Seeing others organize always motivates me to think about my own space. And that’s the goal of this video. 🙂
Looking for under the shelf organizer featured in this video? They are less than $10. Any time I can find a quality organizing product for less than $10, I’m a happy camper. (I wish Dollar Tree had a product like this…they need to get one!)
So, full disclosure, I didn’t think I was going to post this video. I filmed it over a month ago, and thought it was too short and too goofy to post. So I was just leaving it in its “unpublished state” in my uploaded videos list. But then, super randomly, over the last week, I got no less than five messages/comments asking me what I ended up thinking of the headphones I picked up in this shopping vlog.
So for those of you that are curious, here are my two cents. I am enjoying testing out DT products and have more review to come!

P.S. Carson is at the end kissing Elmo, or “Mo” as he calls him. He’s already changed so much since I filmed this a few weeks ago. Ahhh!! Somebody freeze time.
P.P.S. I was listening to “Libre Soy” (Let it Go in Spanish from Frozen) when I was testing the headphones. Don’t judge. It’s a good song 😉
Before Carson was born I implemented an easy system in his closet that would make folding clothes and the hassle of constant clothing transition things of the past. A favorite are these closet dividers…plus I love how they are LESS THAN $5!
Lots of you have asked to see an updated closet tour. Did it actually work??? That was one thing I found when watching YouTube videos of moms. You would see “great systems” implemented, but never find out if they stood the test of time (as many things don’t with kids).
So, here’s how his room looks today. It’s not perfect (and far from perfectly decorated!) but it is such a functional and easy to maintain space in our house. Here’s what I do to keep it easy peasy.
Also, here are the Closet Organizers that I love so much. They are perfect for those first years of so much growing and transition!
Would love to hear your favorite tips!
