Insects for Kids Booklet

I guess I didn’t understand an obsession with bugs until I had boys. Not that girls can’t appreciate bugs, they just didn’t. Elijah, my third child, spends a lot of time in mulch with his construction set looking for bugs to scoot along.

Identify parts of a bug, count the number of bugs on a page, and draw your own bug in this observation journal for kids

Kids Garden Journal

How is your summer going? We are doing okay. Since moving from Florida, I am grateful for hot days that still offer cooler evenings. We didn’t get much of that in the south. It was a hot day and night!

Summers in DC have evolved. I want from having very young kids, to elementary aged kids, to very young kids (again!) It has caused me to get creative with activity having a range of ages and desired activities. As my toddler has aged, and his little brothers trail behind him, we have kept to our home. It isn’t for lack of desire to go out, it’s for fear to go out. Chasing after 18 month old twins is so hard – they split and run different directions. To appease my (almost) 3 year old’s heart, we have tried to find creative toddler crafts and science activities on Pinterest. I am so grateful for Pinterest, anyone else?

If you are trying to busy your little one’s summer bucket list, take a look at this Garden Journal. We suggest grabbing a clip board and a starter gardening kit for kids. Let us know what you plant!

…And mom, if you are not a friend of nature, remember this can be inside too!

Middle School Survival Kit for Girls

July 6, 2019 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Back To School, Facebook, Instagram, Kids, Pinterest, Social Media 1 Comment

Being a teen can be challenging, especially when dealing with hygiene and body changes away from home. Before heading into the school year, make your daughter this Middle School Survival Kit for Girls.

Middle School Survival Kit for Girls

I beginning to see many of my friends begin the process of parenting a middle schooler. You see, my daughter was born in Florida where many middle schools began in 6th grade. We moved to the DC area when she was in 2nd grade where many of the middle schools begin in 7th grade. a big sigh of relief for this mama to an 11 year old.

Just because my oldest is not entering middle school, doesn’t mean I am not feeling the pre-teen vibes. My daughter is beginning to discover things like shaving your legs, what it means to have a period, how to have good hygiene and more. If your daughter has anxiety about being “away from mom” doing some of these new experiences, make her a middle school locker emergency kit.

Middle School Locker Emergency Kit

Li lly Pulitzer Cosmetic Bag This cosmetic bag was too cute to pass up. What girl would not love this print? As a bonus, the adorable pouch comes with some goodies – 2 sticker sheets, 3 magnetic page keepers, and a Lilly Pulitzer ballpoint pen. Parts of this bag are see through, so perhaps leave the feminine products out for a bashful teen.

Mini Hair Brush Did anyone else have a hair brush like this growing up. It totally takes me back! This mini brush is designed to detangle. Perfect for after physical education.

Maybelline New York Baby Lips Lip Balm I have been using Baby Lips since they came out. Simply love the healing lip balm with a touch of color. I don’t feel like I am pushing my daughter to age too fast by giving her a tinted balm over lipstick.

Mini Lint Roll For the girl who wants to look picture perfect. Roll off that extra dog/cat hair with this mini lint roll. Chances are she will loving having it more than she will use it, but it’s a cute addition to her beauty kit.

Spiral Hair Ties The majority of the time, my daughter has half a dozen hair ties on her wrist, but for the times she forgot, have a backup supply of hair ties. These spiral hair ties are great for not getting creases in your hair. Plus they are adorable on your wrist (well better than some of the other hair ties I have seen!)

Flushable Wipes Cleansing Cloths Such an encouragement to remaining hygienic during the day. Wipe off sweaty make-up or perhaps unwanted body odor with these flushable cleansing wipes. I would replenish throughout the year as they are prone to drying out. I would also place this travel pouch in a Ziploc bag to retain the moisture.

Bobby Pins Want to pin back unwanted cascading hair. Bobby pins are you best friend. Be sure to look at our Bobby Pin Hack too!

Pacifica Island Vanilla Body Spray Middle school is a period of time of unwanted odors. The developing body goes through a lot! always smell your best with a pleasant body spray. Is anyone else a fan of having a familiar (always the same) sent?

Green Tea Mints No time to brush? Have spare mints. Do you know that mints can also stimulate the brain, giving your child an extra boost to an afternoon math class!

Hand Sanitizer Gel I mean germs! I became an anti-germ mama once I had more than two kids. I did not want one kid getting another sibling sick (and on down the line.) If a sink and soap are not near by, grab some hand sanitizer! Plus, these gels smell great!

Dove Powder Deodorant When I taught fifth grade, it was an age of hormones starting. The only thing i told my kids to put on every day was their clothes and deodorant! I told them this every day. Encourage taking care of your hygiene by having deodorant in your child’s survival kit!

Always Radiant Infinity Pads for Teens Having your monthly period can be hard. Outlast the average school day with these Always Infinity Pads for teens. They have an (up to) 8-hour absorbency. The teen size makes it the right size for a teen over your average adult.

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12

Save this list of twenty baby shower games. These baby shower games printables are free. Activities the mom-to-be, guests, and you will actually enjoy!

Baby Shower Games Printables

I have five kids. With my five kids, I only had two baby showers. Additionally, I have not attended a baby shower in years. Well, that isn’t true. I went to one about two years ago, and I was out out of place because it has been so long. So research had to be done to find you all the best.

In my discovery for this post, this is what I learned. The internet does not lack baby shower games. You guys, there are 100s. Additionally, each game has about a dozen versions and is found on about another 1,000 blogs. So I did my good duty for you all and put together the best baby shower games that won’t throw you into an instant snooze. If I found the game multiple places, I found what I thought was the best version. Additionally, all these games offer printables. Free printables. You’re welcome (wink!)… and congrats to the happy parents!

Take a look! We have more Tips for Throwing a Baby Shower including recipes and more baby game ideas. Also, these Baby Milestone Monthly Printables are adorable for photographing a baby’s age. Download this freebie for yourself or print as a shower gift with an 8×10 frame.

Baby Shower Taboo from Fun Squared. Divide the guests into two teams and have someone draw a card. She needs to get her team to say the word at the top of the card, but she can’t say the 5 words below it as she describes.

Words for the Wee Hours from Happy Home Fairy. I was so happy to stumble upon this printable. Julie is a friend of mine for 20 years (where does time go) and she has some amazing printables. Print these Words for the Wee Hours. Challenge shower guests to make their own, but you can display yours on a clothes line with clothes pins. Vote on the funniest sayings or the phrases that make mom laugh the most. Now I am dying for a friend to have a baby so I can gift these messages.

Name that Baby from DIY Network and TomKat Studio. Have each guest bring a baby photo of themselves. Post the photos on a board along with a printed number. Throughout the shower, guests can study the board and take a guess at who is in each photo. Guest with the most correct guesses wins. Up to 12 guests.

The Price is Right from Tula Mama. Set up a table with the items listed on this sheet. Have guests fill out their card with their best guesses for the price of each item. The person with the closest price of each item scores one point. The guest with the most points wins a prize.

He Said, She Said from Unoriginal Mom. Just like the bridal shower game, is this fact about mommy or daddy. Pick up the free printable lips and mustache as well as the header for the game. But personalize for yourself in a Word Document.

How Sweet It Is from Lil Luna. Fill out the matching pregnancy term to the candy bar. For example, girls name would be Baby Ruth. Have a basket of candy bars mentioned in the game. Most likely, everyone will have these answers right, so give he bar to who shares the answer with the group when going over results.

Baby ABCs from PJs and Paint. Ready, set, go. You are timed trying find a baby related item that begins with each letter. If there are repeat letters (like two people choose diapers for D) a point is not awarded. Person with the most points at the end wins. Make sure your words are unique and baby related!

What’s in your Phone from Inspiration Made Simple. It’s basically the same concept of “What’s in your Purse?” but baby shower edition. Each participant earns points for the item that they have in their phone. Things like having the Pinterest app or having the baby shower in your calendar.

Pass the Prize from Tula Mama. Similar to pass the present, start the game off with one person. Normally the baby’s mama! Mama has to pass the gift off to someone who matches the description in the line of the poem. Keep passing the gift with each line of the poem until the final line of the poem is read.

Celebrity Baby Names from For the Love of George. See who knows US Weekly best with this parents to celebrity baby name match.

Children’s Book Emoji Pictionary from Sugar and Soul. Ooohh, this one is a challenge. Identify the children’s book from the emoji given. Person with the most number of books right at the end, wins.

What’s In Your Purse from Inspiration Made Simple. Similar to what’s in your phone game, gain points for the odd things you might find in your bag… Granola bar? Hammer? Photo of the kids?

Baby Jeopardy from Tula Mama. I will take “Nursery Rhymes for 300, Alex!” Play everyone’s favorite television game, the game of Jeopardy with all things fitting for a baby!

Name that Tune from Play, Party, Plan. Download this list of 50 songs with the word baby in the title ranging from Justin Bieber to The Beatles. See who gets the most songs right, first.

Name that Artist from Play, Party Plan. Contrary, as if at a poetry reading, read the lyrics to songs and see how many people can guess the artist. “They say were young and we don’t know, we won’t find out until we grow…” – Name that artist!

Match the Baby and Mama from Hey, Let’s Make Stuff. Match the mama to her baby! This animal mother and baby matching game is both challenging and fun.

How Long is Each Animal Pregnant from Paper Trail Design. Guess the gestation period for each animal; a fun baby shower game that is easy to pull of and isn’t overly annoying.

Baby Scavenger Hunt from Plan the Perfect Baby Shower. Riddles and rhymes, the race is on to score the prize! Follow these baby related clues in this baby shower game.

Baby Trait from Sugar and Charm. What will baby look like? Will his/her eyes resemble mom or dad? How about their hair color. Everyone shares their guess and at the end the mother to be shares hers. Whoever matches with the mom most, wins!

Wishes for Baby from Lauren Makes. Maybe not a game but a very good way to send off the baby and mother to be. These wishes for baby can be laminated and binded for the parents and child to keep forever! If laminating, print on cardstock.

Memorable Prom Tips – create the ultimate night with these tips from beauty, to decorations, etiquette, photos, style and more. Make it a night to remember, not to regret!

22 Memorable Prom Tips

Prom night can be one of the most fun and memorable events in your high school career. Make sure, on this night, you are bold and confident. It’s okay to go without a date. It’s okay to go with a date. It’s okay to do the asking, boys don’t always have to ask and why not be in charge of who you want to go to prom with? You can even make it a night to remember with your best girlfriends.

Have fun. Your biggest and best high school memories are going to be small moments. That doesn’t mean this big night can’t have smaller events. You aren’t going to remember the entire night but you will have a set of experiences that you file away and pull up later. Do that sober and excited on juice, apple juice. Be confident, hold a smile, and when something goes wrong, embrace that moment, laugh, and move on. How you handle each smaller moment determines how the bigger night goes.

Are you worried about prom going off without a hitch? We got you covered! While hiccups always happen, yes – expect the unexpected – we have tips and tricks to help you have the most memorable prom night.

Make it a night to remember, not to regret!

Keep that hair in place! Hold up that hair with this beauty hack. Spray your bobby pins with hair spray before placing them in your hair. This will help with the hold.

Don’t blow the budget. Save money when it comes to the makeup. Kara Larkin Llifestyle has a great list of professional vs drug store makeup swaps still giving you a million dollar look!

Chicks before…. ah forget it. Take photos with your besties. While a boyfriend or prom date might be temporary, many of the friendships will hold strong through the ages – from college, to weddings, to babies and more. Grab some photos with your best girl friends (without the guy!) Barefoot Blonde has an incredible, editorial friend-shoot for some prom photo inspiration! Photography by Stephanie Sunderland.

Hold them up. No more pulling up on that strapless bra. A bra strap wrapped around your torso below your strapless bra will help keep your strapless bra in place and free from slipping! Genius. Thanks PureWow!

Don’t blink! Do your eye shadow before doing your foundation. Girl with Glam shows you how to make the most perfect winged eyeliner using tape – who would have guessed?! Practice a few times before the big night!

Talk with your hands. While a mani and pedi are nice, don’t break the bank on expensive acrylic nails. There are so many press on nails like these Ombre Glitter Press-On Nails under $5 from Forever21. There are 24 nails total, so just put a few extra in your purse should you loose one in the evening.

Walk on red; not the red carpet. Get designer looking shoes with red paint shoe bottom coat and restorer. I suggest stretching your shoes (see our tip below) and rubbing sandpaper to the bottoms (to prevent slippage) before painting them!

Get organized. Carry all that you need with help from the Anatomy of a Prom Clutch from My School Outfits. Have a perfume sample, your lipstick, safety pins, and blotting paper sheets!

Big girls don’t cry. Apply two coats of mascara. Layer waterproof mascara on top of your regular formula to make your mascara last longer. Our favorite mascara is L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara.

Dance in comfort. Get fancy with this bedazzled, glittery Converse tutorial from Love Maegan (website down)

Pin it correctly. Ladies, watch this video on how to properly pin a boutonniere from Snippet and Ink.

Pucker up! Go matte with your lipstick. Follow these steps from Beauty Tips for Her for making your lipstick last 8 hours. Powder is the trick!

The night sky. If you are in charge of the decor, a beautiful backdrop is a black felt curtain, string lights and star lanterns. (Source)

Say it with balloons. Grab balloons that announce the year. We love this friend-shoot from Seniorologie; it could be fun with the guys too! You can find numbered foiled balloons here.

Kissable lips. Gently to gently buff away flakes and hydrate lips with an exfoliating lip scrub. Having exfoliated lips will help keep your lipstick on prom night.

Don’t go hungry. Eat something and drink lots of water before going out for prom. If hosting a dinner night, finger food is good for snacking and keeping clothing clean. Consider this Epic Charcuterie and Cheese Board from Skinny Taste. The protein will be great before heading out the door!

Break in your shoes. Make sure to break in your shoes! Take a thick pair of socks, wear your new shoes, and use a hair dryer to blow on the tightest areas. Keep repeating until the shoes fit comfortably! Also rub sand paper on the sole of the shoe to prevent slipping on the dance floor!

Hide your money. Have your hands free and invest in this must have prom accessory: the garter purse. Hide extra money, your credit card, and even your phone!

Stay hydrated. Serve a party punch for the crew to sip while getting ready or taking photos. We love this recipe from Savor Home. Be sure to include a straw to protect lipstick!

Check it and forget it. Waiting until the last minute only ads stress. Take a look at the prom planning tips, from Sarah Jane. A to do list that goes as far as three months out!

Zits suck. Don’t let a pimple mountain ruin your night. Blushing Basics gives you a step by step tutorial on how to conceal a zit. Don’t pop it, hide it!

Etiquette 101. Don’t shy away or be afraid to eat in front of your date. Going to a fancy dinner for the first time? Here is a diagram with some basic rules of etiquette for your your formal dinning. Know which fork or spoon to use, which glass to pick up and how to pass the table and salt. (Source)

Kid Incentives Child Screen Time Tickets Printables

Trade in these Child Screen Time Ticket for entertainment on video games, the computer, tablets, smartphones or even watching television. These free printables are a great kid incentives, moving responsibility from the parent to the child!

Screen Time Tickets Printables

I recently saw a meme about when you tell a child their screen time is over. The meme was pretty much depicting a grown man in a toddler fit. No matter the age of your child, I am sure we can all relate the the temper once screen time has been declared done.

Two things that I have found helpful in my own struggle with screen time, are giving the children control and also letting the child know how much time they will have beforehand. They are not caught off guard when time is officially up because they became “playing” knowing they only had x number of minutes. While this has not solved all my parenting problems, holding true to these two tips has been really helpful.

When our kids get screen time, they give Alexa an alarm to go off when their time is up. This allows me to not keep track of time and also gives them their own responsibility to monitor their time and get off when their time is up. Before beginning their game, they say “Alexa, tell me when 30 minutes is up” …and that is what she does! You can also work on Alexa giving them a 25 minute reminder, in addition, so they know they need to wind down where they are in the game.

In this pack of Screen Time Tickets, we included a ticket for five minutes, ten , fifteen, thirty, and sixty minutes. We also included a golden ticket for you to use as you see fit. Perhaps a day of unlimited screen time for good behavior. You can combine tickets if your child needs one of the numbers not included in this set.

Make every member of the family feel special with these Family Birthday Celebrations. Creative ideas and family traditions for celebrating every year of life!

Family Birthday Celebrations

As the kids in our home increase, the birthday parties with friends decreased. Our girls were 7 and 8 when their younger brother came and 8 and 9 when their additional brothers (twins) came. That being said, there were years that it was easy (and affordable) to throw them a yearly birthday party with friends. They have gotten older, and less interested, and I have been researching ways to make them feel loved at home without spending hundreds of dollars.

Below are creative ways to make your younger kids, your spouse, or your teens feel special on their date of birth!

Make sure you get all the way to the bottom of this post because we have a really creative away for you to pay it forward and for you to give back to others each and every birthday – such a wonderful lesson for you kids! It comes with a free printable!
