My First Post

Hey everyone! I am writing this blog to show others how I am able to stay at home with my son. My husband and I live off a VERY small budget, but still manage to live well.


I'm going to show you all my most recent purchase...


This is from MaJ-r Thrift in Olathe, KS

Melissa and Doug Puzzle .69
Discovery Toys Kaledescope .99
Amelia Bedelia .49
Diseny Princess Roll-O-Rama 1.49
Pocohantas book 1.00
Rex 1.99
Cars My First Look and Find 1.99

Total (with Tax) 8.50

Disocery Toys are AMAZING! They are incredibly expensive to buy new, but they last FOREVER so you are typically able to find them at thrift stores, garage sales, etc. Every time I see a discovery toy I buy it. Even if we already have it because they also make great gifts.

The dinosaur is from Toy Story and I'm sure it cost an incredible amount of money new! Its from Disneyworld. It looks like its never even been played with!

This purchase includes a birthday present for a family friend. I was able to find two disney princess books for 2.49 and they will make a great present for a 5 year old girl. Have serveral neices and nephews as well as lots of friends with kids we go to a lot of birthday parties! I always try to buy presents at garage sales, thrift stores, or goodwill. I can typically find brand new unopened stuff and pay pennies on the dollar!
