DIY Where Possible Some baby items like burp cloths, bibs, and blankets can be easily made at home. If you’re crafty, consider sewing or knitting some items yourself. You can also find deals on baby gear at big-box stores like Walmart and Target. This way, they can contribute specific items you need.

We do put up decorations (ones I buy at garage sales or thrift stores and reuse each year). Encourage your child to use their imaginations to come up with a costume out of materials on hand at home. If you sew, take off the buttons, zippers, lace, netting or whatever to use later. Tip # 2 Recycle/reuse costumes.

Most people on earth probably have a pair of jeans or two at home. Forget putting in the work to make the jeans our own; we want them to come that way from the store. And while denim is recyclable into wall insulation, most everyone just throws the jeans away, heads to the store, and repeats the cycle, over and over again.

Quiet evenings at home. Which store would you choose to max out your credit card? Sewing, knitting, cross-stitch, singing, baking. Where would you visit if you had the chance? Cup 1/2 empty or 1/2 full? A little of both. Where would you want to retire? I'm sorry, what is retirement?! Favorite time of day? Where were you born?

Peppermint Sugar Scrub via Real Food Enthusiast Bath & beauty stores make a killing on this stuff because most of us don’t realize how simple it is to make at home. This vanilla extract is exceptional, and it’s far more expensive in the store. Who doesn’t love pretty plants at home? ‘Nuff said.

Work With What You've Got

MAY 5, 2009

(Oh how I wish I could sew, but I am alarmingly bad at it, trust me). I am not adding them to the shop just yet, the wings and the key and just base metal components and I try to use only gold-filled, sterling silver and brass in the store. I felt at home with her right away, and she didn't seem to think I was too crazy.
