Well...

After much thought, I have decided to suspend posting to this blog as of now. With the upcoming summer break, three kids, and some contract work on the side, I am no longer able to give this blog the attention I should. It was a difficult decision, but the right one for my family and my sanity.

Luckily, there are many great money saving sites out there. Two of my favorite:
Penny Pinchin Mom - Tracie lives in KC so she posts local deals as well as national.
Money Saving Mom - Crystal has one of the largest money saving sites and covers more topics that just couponing.

Thank you to everyone who has read and followed this blog. I really enjoyed sharing deals and *speaking* with some of you.

When you sign up you will get daily emails about that day's sales. Even better, they send them about an hour before the deal goes live so you know if it is worth checking out. Some items sell fast, so get to the site as soon as the items go live to get yours. Go here to sign up and get started!

DIY Hawaiian dress

My daughter needed a Hawaiian dress for a dance last week. Being the cheap thrifty mom that I am, I made one.  My sewing skills leave much to be desired, but with a little Liquid Stitch and some ribbon, it turned out quite nice.
We went from this

To this 


I already had the shirt and the ribbon. I bough the pink fabric (a remnant) and the Liquid Stitch (to attach the ribbon) at Joann's during their 50% sale. Total cost was around $2.50.

And here is the dress tutorial if you feel inspired.
