Whooo Whooo loves the county fair?

Whooooo-hooooooo!

Today, we are off today to the county fair! My family went for the first time last year, and when I asked my kids the other day, what the loved best about the fair, their answer wasn't quite what I expected.

You see, there are a ton of fun things to do at the fair! There are of course, the rides, most of which my kids are too small for, but they can go on tame rides like the carousel. There are the fun games, like the basketball toss- I was sure that one was a winner last year. Oh, and the fair is overrun with cute little animals, some more fragrant than others- the baby chickens were adorable, as were the little piggies, the giant cows (yes, cows are adorable), and the enormous Clydesdale's...

We spent an entire day at the fair last year, enjoying our snow cones and wandering around the attractions, and watching kids show-off their prize winning animals.

An entire day.... and you know what my kids said, when I asked them what they loved best? "Mommy, remember the parking lot? It was grass, and rocky and so big!!"

Yup, the parking lot. Could have saved about 40 bucks.

Have a great day!

Are....You.....Readyyyyyyyy!!???!??

Are you ready for that first day back at school? We are getting there....

We spent the morning at Target the other day and bought alll of our supplies. What fun!

Children trying to throw extra things in the cart... fighting over who gets what color pencil box (because it REALLY matters if they have the same!)
Now that we have all the supplies, there is only one more thing to get....
CLOTHES!!!

I believe this will be a long process, as first, we need to go through everyone's drawers and closets to see what we need.... oh the joy!

If you are looking for some great back to school clothes that are unique, fun and will have your child stand out from the crowd, search ebay BCheeky Boutique for some awesome finds!!

Christmas Already?!

With holiday outfits popping up all over eBay and the Internet, it got me thinking about how little time I have left to save money for gift giving.
Like any Mom, kids are tops on the list.

Here are a couple items I have found for your budding crafter:

AmericanGirl has scissors in hand (so to speak)
with Chrissa's Craft Studio

If your budding seamstress is ready for the Real Thing
Amazon has tons of "Kid" oriented sewing machines and supplies

Don't forget to read those very helpful customer reviews!
Whether I buy from amazon or not, I always check their reviews.

One tip of mine on purchasing a beginner sewing machine for a child would be to consider a regular basic model instead of one geared for a child.
This of course depends on your child's age and skill level but I think parents of children over the age of 7 will appreciate the capabilities of a real machine and it's ease of use for both of you.
