Here are a few tips for a fun day with your girl friends!
1) Organize a clothing swap. You get rid of clothes and accessories you don't use or want anymore and you swap with your friends. Its a win win for everyone. You clean out your closet and come home with new stuff for FREE.
It really is not very hard at all, and there are tons of websites to help or you can check out cookbooks for baby food at the local library. To make baby food you can microwave-steam or steam on the stove veggies or fruit until soft, and then mashed it up (in a food processor when baby first started eating solids). Put the food into ice cube trays. Once solid, pop out the food and put them into freezer bags. Simple.
Here is the best website ever! It has stages and types of foods for your baby.
I make my own grocery bags and have been doing it for years. I give them as gifts and usually make mine out of left over material or a sheet. I took a Target plastic grocery bag and cut it in half to make a pattern because I think Target has the best size available. But, for the rest of the world who would like to know how to do it right, here is an awesome tutorial. I also make these bags for children and their belongings. Gabe has one in the car full of things to entertain him. Enjoy!

Ok, this will not shock you but, I would rather make a gift than buy one. That being said.

Enjoy!

It's begining to look a lot like Christmas. Which usually means most people are going to go out and buy gifts and in return for their generousity, they are going to go into debt. I am not one of those people. Don't get me wrong, I love giving gifts. I, however will not go into debt to show love. Here are a few ideas for you to lower your christmas bills.
We all like to entertain and have our friends over to our homes from time to time. However, everyone is really feeling the ramifications of the economy. I would like to suggest to you throw a Pot Luck dinner and Game Night with your friends. Not only does it cost little, but it also is fun evening. Every one like to bring something over anyway. The last time we did this our stomaches hurt! Not only from all of the great food but from the laughter as well.
Here is a frugal tip that I learned about on QVC. If you want you candles to burn evenly and last longer chill them before use. You can place them in the freezer for up to 24 hours but in a pinch 8 hours in the refridgerator. I have done this myself and my Slatkin Candles (which cost a fortune) have lasted me a year now :O)
