Vehicle Busy Bags

July 22, 2014 By Thaleia 12 Comments

I just realized I had not made Big Red any new busy bags and even let him play with our busy bag collection. Yikes, what a mommy fail! You do not realize all of the busy bags we own since I have not blogged about all the ones from last year’s busy bag swap or from the swaps when Big Red was under 10 mths old. I promise to do so to help give you ideas for making and organizing your busy bags.

ABC vehicle beads in busy bag

Princess had a friend over and they were looking for something to do. I felt I might as well put her friend to work. I grabbed the leftover vehicle beads that I bought for the Letter Sound Swap last year. It looked like there was enough for the entire alphabet and I was right! 40 beads were left in the package I had bought at JoAnn’s. I grabbed a Sharpie marker and asked the friend to write one letter per vehicle. This package has planes, trains, tug boat, and model T beads that are big enough to fit on a skewer stick.

Back to School Promotions July 20-26

July 20, 2014 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

All right one week closer to back to school and still more great sales! My kids are still very much in a Summer mode with VBS and celebrating a birthday this week. Back to school is very far in the back of their minds, but not for this mama. I keep my eye on back to school promotions to help fill their back to school bag of goodies.

I have to admit Staples is my go to store for most of my back to school deals. I keep do look through Target’s ad but since it’s a 25 minute drive they have to have a really good deal or lots of things worth the time and gas. I also order office supplies online but with minimums for free shipping that may not always work for the best deals either. I’m a penny pincher through and through.

Back to School Tax-Free Weekend 2014

July 15, 2014 By Thaleia 3 Comments

Does your State offer Back to School Tax-Free Weekend? Check out this quick list to see if your State is listed! If you see your State listed then check out your state’s tax department website for complete details. Back to School Promotions #TaxFree 2014 I know families that would make specific plans to meet up with relatives during the Tax Free Days in order to go Back to School shopping with Cousins, Aunts and Grandma. Being able to save that small percentage can go a long way when purchasing backpacks, lunch bags, calculators, laptops, tablets, and basic school supplies. If you know of a family living in one of these states be sure to remind them to check their States’ rules on when and what can be purchased.
