Pink Mod Monkey 1st Birthday Standard Party Pack for 16 Party Supplies
I am in the middle of planning my daughter’s first birthday and these are the supplies I have chosen!! I am SUPER excited about the decorations but SUPER sad that she already going to be one 
I already have a 3 and 4 year old that are growing like weeds!!! How can I make it stop? How old are your kids? Did the time flash before your eyes? Okay, I am going to stop getting emotional here 
What do you think of the decorations? Our big thing around here is monkeys! It started with my son calling his stuffed monkey dodie, so we named the girl monkey dotti! Cute right? lol
Tips on how to save money throwing birthday bashes:
**Hit the Dollar Store for the extras-Once I buy a set, I just go to the dollar store and get the solid color plates, forks, cups, etc that match and weed them in between the “real” character decorations! Saves A LOT of money! The dollar store has TONS of party supplies for a buck! So don’t waste your money buying entire sets! I will not be buying this entire set listed. I will just be buying invitations they have available, a set of plates, napkins, and cups! Everything else will come from the dollar store:)
**Use items that you have found on clearance, or candy you have gotten for free for goodie bags! I used all of the laffy taffy’s (filler items at Walgreen’s) that I had saved up for my oldest daughters’ birthday party in May. I also used pencils that I found on clearance for a few cents from Walgreen’s! I never buy the whole kit and kaboodle worth of goodie bag fillers! That is where it can get really expensive! I actually found clearance water bottles from CVS a month ago that I will be using next year for the goodie “gifts.” Fill it with some candy, and Voila –
**Make your own cake!! I know it sounds like a ton of work! BUT, I made my first “real” cake for my daughter’s party in May and I saved so much money! It was also fun to say, “I made that.”(ONLY when people said how cute it was! hehe) I only made a little personal cake for my daughter and then made cupcakes for everyone else! (You can also get cake mix DIRT cheap with coupons and sales)
**If you don’t want to feed everyone “real” food, don’t have the party around lunch or dinner! I always have it right in between so I am only responsible for providing small appetizers and drinks! Way cheaper than sandwich trays, hamburgers, hot dogs, etc! Guess you could call me a cheapskate! LOL
**Buy your gifts ahead of time!! I never pay regular price for gifts! My kids get toys that are on sale, no questions asked! They already know this at ages 3 and 4! When you find a toy on clearance that you can put up for the following year, grab it and store it away! (Hide it well)!
Hopefully this will help you save a bit of money on your next birthday bash!! My daughter’s bday is not until November 10th, but I am already planning!! Wish me luck and comment with any ideas you may have I would love to add them to my list of tips!!
A while back I had asked a bunch of you online what you all recommended to get organized! Several of you referred me to fly lady which was AWESOME! I still did not get everything I wanted to get done, done this past month! It seems like things just keep piling up and there is not enough time in the day! I better stop, because I will just keep going and going! LOL Anyway, I ran across this website that I thought some of you might be interested in! It helps you get organized by one project at a time and let’s you select what you need help with most! It’s FREE and really neat! Click here to check out and start getting ORGANIZED! I am hoping to put some of these tips to use this weekend! Maybe the hubby will help! LOL I will also be having a HUGE garage sale when it starts to cool off, so this is really going to help! Anyone want to help throw a garage sale! hehe
My friend Tina, at The Happy Lil Homemaker always inspires me to cook, clean, and organize! She writes fabulous articles on our everyday things in life! This post is all about the kitchen and it makes you think about the little things that we miss! My cabinets are FULL of clutter right now and I DO NOT want to go back home to clutter, but unfortunately the cleaning fairy will not magically appear while I am on vacation! Check out Tina’ post to get you motivated!
Clutter and organizing the Kitchen…
Ah, yes! The kitchen! The hub of the household. The kitchen is center of most homes. We cook there. We eat there. The kids do homework there. We even socialize there.
We have junk mail on the counters. Backpacks and jackets are hanging from chairs. Your husbands keys in the middle of the table. Yes, the true multipurpose room. Is it any wonder why our kitchens seem to hold SO much “STUFF”?! When we moved, the kitchen was the room with the most boxes. How crazy is that?! That really opened my eyes. I am not immune to clutter. It happens to the best of us. So, when you are tackling that kitchen, know that I am, most likely, in the middle of tackling mine as well.
As always, we start with the “Toss”, “Keep”, and “Donate” boxes. Go through ALL of it! This may be the room that takes you the longest. Go through the fridge, freezer, cupboards, drawers…EVERYTHING!
~Check those expiration dates.
~Combine those two bottles of Windex
~Do you really need 17 sets of measuring cups or spoons?
~Why are you keeping that chipped coffee mug that always scratches your lip?
~Heck, why are you keeping the 72 coffee mugs?
As you are going through the cupboards, organize them. You might want to consider emptying each cupboard one at a time, wiping it out and then putting things away. This is also a perfect time to clean that fridge and freezer. Put in a new box of baking soda.
Once everything has been sorted, take those boxes out of there. Throw away the trash, box up the donated things, and put away the things that didn’t belong there.
Now that the trash, and junk are out of there…clear off ALL of the counters. Wipe down EVERYTHING! Counters, small appliances…
Stand back and look at that blank space. How do you want it to function? Set it up!
Organizing ideas:
I found some nice canisters a few years back for next to nothing, at K-mart. I bought two sets of them, and use them for the little things, and since they all match, it looks cute, too. I use one of them for my counter top cooking utensils (lid off). I use another for the doggie treats (lid on). Another I keep next to the sink and put my scrub brushes and sponges in (lid on). The large one I use for those random little things that you’d normally throw in a junk drawer (I need my drawer space).
I have two bins under my sink. One if for recycling, and the other is for my cleaning products. Having this short recycling bin is really useful. The cleaning bin is great because I just pull the bin out and I can take it anywhere. I don’t have to dig something out, or try to carry 7 bottles.
Find those small spaces around your kitchen, and use them for storage. Put your step-stool, or broom in that space between your fridge and the wall. Put a hook in your pantry and hang up the aprons or plastic bags.
Now…mop, put down the rugs…wipe down the walls…
How does it look? Do you feel better? Now, go out for dinner tonight. 
You’ve earned it!
Thanks So Much for this awesome post Tina!! ~ The Happy Lil Homemaker
When I found out I would be on vacation, I asked a friend of mine if she could come up with a cool post for you guys! She homeschools her 5 year old and has TONS of free resources for the pre-k/Kindergarten curriculum! When I had decided to homeschool my kids a while back I had found a few of these and LOVED them. I decided not to buy a curriculum for that age, because there was just entirely too many free resources out there! I was able to print a whole binder FULL of worksheets and projects! I have recently started having second thoughts about homeschooling, but every time I meet people like Michelle, it really inspires me to get back on the bandwagon! The main thing I think I would struggle with is PATIENCE! lol. I am not going to pretend that I am the Duggar mom, and have all the patience in the world! She is my ROLE model though! … NO, I will never have 19 kids, but the organization skills of this woman is amazing! I told my husband if I could have ONE day to spend with anyone in the world, it would be her! Call me crazy, but I would love to see what it would be like to be in her shoes just for a day! I feel like I am going crazy sometimes with just the three that I have! LOL

Here is an example of a meal plan I created!!! I can add or remove items as I like.
There are TONS of recipes to choose from and you can edit each one for your own liking. This comes in handy when you need a larger serving size too!
This is what shows up when you click on View Grocery list! I know I am always searching and searching for recipes online and I have to go through each and every one of them to write down my ingredients that I need. This does it all for you with ONE click! I really don’t know how I lived without it! Once your list pulls up, you can go through your coupons and pull out what you need! SO eaSY!
Finally, they have come up with a way to receive packages delivered to your house. How many of you have been frustrated because you just missed the UPS guy, so they took your package away? I know that always irritates me! UPS has just come up with a new program called My choice! It allows you to VIRTUALLY sign for packages, so you do not have to be there waiting for it to arrive!
