Random Acts of Kindness Day is February 17th. Whether celebrating in February, on your birthday or year-round, we have creative Random Acts of Kindness Ideas for kids and adults plus free printables to spread joy and offer compliments.

Random Acts of Kindness Day

Have you heard of RAK? RAK is an acronym for Random Acts of Kindness, and this acronym has it’s own day – Random Acts of Kindness Day!

When is Random Acts of Kindness Day?

Did you even know this existed? Random Acts of Kindness Day is February 17th. Though a newer holiday, this global holiday is growing in popularity.

Celebrated on February 17th, National Random Acts of Kindness Day has grown in popularity each year. It is celebrated by individuals, groups and organizations, nationwide, to encourage acts of kindness. It is a favorite day to many, as people everywhere are enjoying doing these acts of kindness.

Random Acts of Kindness Day Hashtags

In to social media, follow or use some of these RAK hashtags to get in on the trend!

#RAKday #FuellingKindness #BeKind #Kindness #MakeKindnessTheNorm

Follow our Random Acts of Kindness Ideas you can use for birthdays, on February 17th, or 365 days a year!

Birthday Random Acts of Kindness

Hear me out. Random acts of kindness can go beyond February 17th. Pay it forward and try RAK year-round like on your birthday. We shared in our Family Birthday Celebrations ways for kids to spread kindness on a day that is all about them.

Have you heard of 40 Random Acts of Kindness for 40 or 20 Random Acts of Kindness Before 20? Whatever the birthday, spread the same RAK as the year of your age. What an incredible tradition to start with the kids!

Birthday Random Acts of Kindness Ideas

When starting with kids, they don’t have to be challenge. These Kids Random Acts of Kindness ideas start small and can grow with age. They can do it on their birthday, on a RAK holiday, or year around.

Give a hug
Give a compliment
Write a grandparent a letter in the mail
Make cookies for a neighbor
Pick up trash that isn’t yours
Leave tennis balls at the dog park
Leave chalk and bubbles at the park
Introduce yourself to someone new
Bring toys to the homeless shelter
Visits the Dollar Store and leave dollars around!

The last idea is our favorite, and because it’s our favorite, we added a free Random Acts of Kindness Printable for the Kids (and adults too!) Leave dollars with note at the Dollar Tree or in the dollar section of Target (etc.)

We, of course, have Random Acts of Kindness Ideas for Adults too!

Pay for the drive through order behind you
Bring a co-worker an extra cup coffee

Tutorial on How to Hand Stamp Metal Spoons. Spoon quotes and sayings plus our free Wedding Gift Printable – May your marriage be filled with lots of laughs, love and ice cream!

How to Hand Stamp Metal Spoons

I love antique spoons. My mother and law uses her silver spoons every day, not just on special occasions. I wish I had silver spoons to do that and plan to hit more thift stores to build my collection.

Spoon Quotes and Sayings

For our wedding gift, we did a cute little – Love you, Love you more spoon quote. There are many sayings and creative ideas you can come up with when creating your own Stamp Metal Spoons.

For those that love cereal you could have the quotes…

Be a Fruitloop in a World Full of Cheerios

Cereal Killer

For wedding gift ideas, you could have the quotes

Let’s Spoon. Maybe.

Hot Stuff

His. Hers.

Other cute spoon quotes for the kitchen include

Hangry.

In a Jam

Awesome Sauce

Coffee Spoons Quotes

Coffee might be your vice. Some messages for Coffee Spoons include these cute quotes and sayings…

Drink Coffee, Read Books, Be Happy

But First Coffee

Rise and Grind

Nana’s Coffee

My husband loves coffee. He always has a spoon on the counter by the coffee pot. For him, I want to make the quote Love you a Latte. Maybe next Father’s Day or for his birthday. A silly small gift, but something he will use and look at every day!

Hand Stamp Metal Spoon Supplies

If you want a good looking hand stamped metal spoons, you will need a few supplies.

Upcycled Spoons (we got ours at a thrift store)
Metal Stamp Set (we used this set)
Jewelry Mini Hammer (similar to this one)
Steel Bench Block
An old rag or towel
Metal Stamping Sticker Guides
Steel Wool
Black Sharpie Permanent Maker
Optional: Rubbing Alcohol
Optional: Silver Polish
Optional: Painters Tape or Masking Tape
Optional: Heart Stamp

For the Printable Wedding Gift Tag

Printer (Or send to Staples – see instructions below)
Cardstock Paper
Scissors

How to Hand Stamp Metal Spoons

Head to your local thrift store and pick up some silver spoons. We found ours for $.50 each – talk about a deal! You can use stainless steel spoons but they aren’t as soft and you have to hit it harder and for a longer period time. I would suggest getting Premier Stamps from ImpressArt for those. At $.50 a spoon, get a couple to practice with.

I would suggest you use a silver polish on the spoons before beginning your DIY Metal Stamping. I have always used Weiman Silver Polish.

First, find the appropriate sticker guide for your spoon. You want the letters spaced out evenly. It’s important to plan ahead or you will have letters all over the place. You also can use painters tape or masking tape to line up your lettering.

We wrapped our block with an old rag (towel). Having your metal block wrapped, keeps the spoon from slipping. Lay your spoon on your block. You also can using masking tape to hold the spoon in place.

Next, put your stamp on silver spoon and hit with a hammer about 3 times for each letter. It is important to hit it head on and not at an angel. It it pretty hard. Continue this pattern until you have your message stamped onto the spoon. Sometimes I find it is best to start with the center letter. For example if I had the word YOU, I would start with the O and then add the U and then add the Y. This helped me center myself and my message.

After your message is stamped, color over letters with a black Sharpie marker. Don’t worry, this will erase!

Scrub excess marker off with a steel wool. You could use a polishing cloth or rubbing alcohol with paper towel.

Easy peasy, you have your completed stamped metal spoons.

Tetris Printable Game Pieces for Travel

January 28, 2020 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Crafts, DIY, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media

For the game lover, download these free Tetris Printable Game Pieces for Travel. Comes with two versions of directions and scoring.

Tetris Printable Game Pieces

You guys, Tetris is my jam. Like I have beat the game more times than I can announce. At 30-something (cough, cough) years old, on a drive down from Virginia to Florida, I might have played the Tetris Electronic Game most of the ride. I did have five children (my offspring) in the car seats behind me. They were mostly attended. Let’s just say, they got there alive and I beat the game at least twice on the way down. I did pat myself on the back because no one else would at the end of that ride!

Is anyone else a huge fan of Tetris? If so, try the printable version. We have the perfect gift for you – Tetris Printable Game Pieces for Travel. You too can pat yourself on the back at the end of your cross country drive!

Tetris Printable Game Supplies

You will need your game pieces and game board. Optional items include cardstock or a laminator and pouches.

Tetris Game Board and Pieces (we will email you access)
Cardstock
Laminator
Laminating Sheets

Tetris Printable Game Board Prep

Print your game board and Tetris game pieces on cardstock. We suggest laminating your board and pieces to keep them sturdy and help them last longer.

A laminator and cardstock are both items I am always using. Scotch Laminating Sheets are my favorite brand.

How to Play Printable Tetris

A printable Tetris game is a bit different form the electronic version, first lines don’t clear.

Place all your pieces in a bag and shuffle them.
Draw a piece and put it on your board. The piece must be placed on the bottom, working your way up with each new piece (like in electronic Tetris.)
Try and fill all the spaces.
Pieces can be rotated in any direction but they cannot be flipped on their back.

There are two versions for scoring your printable Tetris game.

First Version

Fill as much of the board as you can. When you can no longer add anymore pieces, count all the white squares that are exposed. The lowest number wins.

Second Version

Shift pieces downwards manually from the bottom as rows are filled up. Count how many rows you are able to delete to get your score. Highest number wins.

Teddy Grahams Valentines

You guys. I have a confession. I am not really a Pinterest mom. I am just a creative mastermind behind the moms who really are Pinterest moms. I come up with some really creative ideas but I never implement them. I hate mess and most Pinterest crafts and recipes lead to messes. This. This, however, is something I will implement. It is so easy and takes two seconds. I also can hand all the supplies to my oldest kids and say, “have at it!” And then I feel like a winner because they feel like America’s Next Top Chef. We both win.

Teddy Grahams Valentines

These Teddy Grahams Valentines are easy. So easy, they have only two ingredients – if you even call them ingredients. I say they are ingredients because that whole America’s Next Top Chef thing.

Date Night Bucket List

May 24, 2021 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media, Valentine's Day

Date Night Bucket List. Get organized with this full list of 25 unique date night ideas at home, out or even free date night ideas.

Okay, so honestly, a date night for me is in my PJs having all the kids down (and luckily my kids are on Babywise schedule, so that can be as early as 7:30 PM if we do the bedtime routine right!)

For my husband, however, a date night at home will not cut it. He has the desire to get out of the house. In his defense, we both put the computer down, eat a meal that isn’t prepared by us or warmed up in the microwave, and we go over many things we don’t get to discuss in the passing of day. You can see how we sometimes get around this with these free, cheap and memorable date night ideas (with a home full of kids.)

We have five kids, we both work well over 40 hours a week, and we both juggle a lot. We purposely have to carve out time and for us that is each Thursday evening. This is a night we put everything aside. Even though we have made it a point to do this weekly, it still find us in the same routine. We go to the same restaurant, over and over… until the Date Night Bucket List!

Care.com Date Night Babysitter

When we moved from Florida to DC, we didn’t now a soul. I lived in Florida for 30+ year and always swore I would never hire a stranger on a website to watch my kids. Don’t you find when you swear something into existence the most, it just does the opposite. (For example, I always said my child wouldn’t never have a paci – all five did, wink!) Anyhoo, the best thing that happened to our family was our Nanny from Care.com. If you need a nanny or a babysitter for date nights with your spouse, be sure to check out Care.com. We are very pleased. You can interview the person, get recommendations and even do background checks including driving records if your sitter plans to drive!

Date Night Bucket List

We have a list of Date Night Bucket List Ideas to extend the excitement of your nights out with your spouse. In fact, in our bucket list we have 25 ideas! This would give you half a year of date night ideas if you go out weekly. Some of the ideas can even be combined if you find yourself going out less frequently. Or flip the printable over and add your own ideas!

Included in our Date Night Bucket List are the following ideas…

Unique Date Night Ideas

Visit a Festival
Take a Road Trip (even if 30 mintues away)
Play Mini Golf
Go Dancing
Go Antiquing
Visit a Winery
Go See a Local Band
Visit the Planetarium
Go to the Arcade
Go Bowling
Go to a Paint Night
Go Ice Skating
Rent Your Dream Car and Go for a Ride
Go to a Comedy Club

52 Week Savings Plan – Printable Challange PDF

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

June 27, 2020 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: DIY, Facebook, Frugal Living, Instagram, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media

52 Week Savings Plan. In one year’s time you could save $2620! This 52 Week Savings challenge is a printable PDF you can download and start following in the new year. Happy savings!

We know this year is coming to an end and we are bringing you all the challenges to clean up your home (with our monthly declutter your home checklist) and now your bank account.

We have a 52 Week Savings Plan! This Printable Challenge PDF is a chart to guide you $2,620. Seriously, what would you do with that money?

52 Weeks of Savings

What is a 52 Week Money Challenge? This 52 Weeks of Savings challenge is an incremental savings plan that will help you save money throughout the year. The idea is simple: start the year off by saving $10 the first week, and then put away an additional amount each week after that for 52 weeks. At the end of the year, you’ll save $2,620!

Looking for ways to save? Follow this 30-Day No Spend Challenge with also lists creative ways to save including free activities to fill your weekend (and week).

52 Week Savings Plan

We offer a 52 week savings plan to save you $2,620. I really encourage you to follow this plan. Don’t skip weeks. Save the amount it says each week. If saving this much is out of your budget, adjust the plan to save half of what it listed each week. That means if $10 is listed, save $5. Next year, if your budget is not as tight, save the amount listed!

The weeks go in this order. Save $10, save $25, save $50, save $75, save $100. Then you repeat the steps backward. Save $75, save $50, save $25, save $10. So in 9 weeks, you are only saving $100 once. However, you are saving $10, $25, $50, and $75 twice in that nine week period. Does that make sense?

52 Week Savings Plan Amounts

Save $10: Week 1, Week 9, Week 17, Week 25, Week 33, Week 41, Week 49

Save $25: Week 2, Week 8, Week 10, Week 16, Week 18, Week 24, Week 26, Week 32, Week 34, Week 40, Week 42, Week 48, Week 50

Save $50: Week 3, Week 7, Week 11, Week 15, Week 19, Week 23, Week 27, Week 31, Week 35, Week 39, Week 43, Week 47, Week 51

Save $75: Week 4, Week 6, Week 12, Week 14, Week 20, Week 22, Week 28, Week 30, Week 36, Week 38, Week 44, Week 46, Week 52

Save $100: Week 5, Week 13, Week 21, Week 29, Week 37, Week 45

How Does that Savings Plan Add Up?

The $10 weeks will save you $70 (7 weeks).

The $25 weeks will save you $325 (13 weeks).

The $50 weeks will save you $650 (13 weeks).

The $75 weeks will save you $975 (13 weeks).

The $100 weeks will save you $600 (6 weeks).

Total is $2620!

What’s Up Pudding Cup Valentine

Valentine for Kids

I am all about the at home printable to make things simple for Valentines Day. When preparing Valentines for kids, I always look for a printable that pairs well with something I can pick up from Amazon or even my local grocery store. That is why we love our Popcorn Valentine, Sharpie Valentine for Teachers, and Goldfish Valentine.

Visit our printable Valentines for kids!

If you are trying to perfect the perfect Valentine for the kids, try this What’s Up Pudding Cup Valentine. On your next grocery run, pick up enough pudding cups for the students in your child’s class and pair with our printable gift tag. Tie off with twine and a spoon!

Pudding Cup Valentine Supplies

Like I said above, very few supplies are needed for this Pudding Cup Valentine.

Pudding Cups (get enough to match the number of students in the class)
Pudding cup printable (see below)
Scissors
Cardstock
Tape
Optional: spoon (we think pink or red is adorable!)
Optional: ribbon or string (we love red and white baker’s twine)

What’s Up Pudding Cup Directions

Not too many directions and probably a very straight forward process.

First, print the valentines on cardstock

Second, lay your pudding cup over the gift tag, tracing the shape of the pudding cup to the gift tag. Cut out around outer edge.

Fill out each to and from before the next step.

Next, tape the valentines on top of each pudding cup.

We like to tie a spoon with twine or a ribbon to the back of the cup and tie a bow around the center of the cup (optional).

I would attach a piece of tape in the pack of the pudding cup to hold the twine/ribbon in place.

Gift your What’s Up Valentine Pudding Cup and enjoy!

New Year’s resolutions or spring cleaning, whatever the reason we have a 31-Day Challenge for you! Download this PDF printable Declutter Your Home Checklist. Declutting tips and tricks to simplify your space. Less is the new more!

Declutter Your Home Checklist

Are you spring cleaning? Has the last extended family member walked out of your home from Christmas? Whatever your need, a New Year’s Resolution or the transition into the spring season, we have a 31-Day Declutter Your Home Checklist to challenge you to simply your home!

Less is the new more!

Daily Declutter Challenge

Girl, I got your back. As a mother of five, I have learned to swim in the chaos of motherhood. By swim, I mean tread water. (At least, I am not drowning, right?!) Speaking of drowning, some things I find I am drowning in is clutter. Boxes, stacked piles of mail, broken and mis-matched toys, single socks (right?!), clothes that are too small, clothes that are dirty – it’s piles and piles of “stuff!”

I accepted the KonMari Challenge with Dollar Store Solutions, but the clutter seemed to return. That is why I have to pull out a Monthly Declutter Challenge a few times a year. This spreads out my to-do list, gives me direction for cleaning up our home, and makes the task fun!

Introducing our…

Declutter Tips, Tricks & Solutions

Initially, this Declutter Your Home Checklist seems very daunting. We have some declutter tips and hacks for your challenge to keep your sanity.

Where can I sell my stuff?

Want to make a few dollars? We have a few places you can sell your stuff when declutting. Two places are my favorite. First, Facebook Marketplace is great in my area and typically I make back close to the price I paid on many name brand items. I also like to send my kids clothes to Thread Up (get $10 credit and/or request a ThredUp Clean Out Kit bag.) This allows me to earn money on clothes that no longer fit and buy new consignment clothes that do fit. Lastly, take a look at Decluttr to buy and sell technology.

What if I skip a day on the Challenge?

Things come up, I get it. If you can avoid skipping a day, please do. It can be hard to catch up having to do 4 days of cleaning on Day 31. If you do find you missed a day, move on and come back to that day at the end of the challenge.

What if the 31-Day Challenge is not enough?

Repeat the process the next month. In fact, if you are a real neat freak you can do this challenge every month, for 12 months. Just do a little bit each day!

How often do you do this Declutter Challenge?

I try to adopt the challenge twice a year. Typically January after the chaos of Christmas and then again in late spring/early summer as the end of the school year approaches. If I am doing extra well (or would it be extra bad?), I take on this challenge again at the start of the school year.

I work full time, how can I declutter my house quickly?

Honestly, this is a process. There is no way to tackle all of this in one day, but you can group days or take the challenge on a few weekend. If you are doing it day by day, some of these days require more time than others. For example, I can clean my junk drawer in a few minutes but my Kitchen Cupboards might take a few hours on Saturday. Skip more challenging days and save them for the weekend. Use the weekdays to tackle smaller tasks.
