Expecting Mamas: Hospital Survival Kit

For my sister-in law's baby shower I wanted to make her a Hospital Survival Kit without spending a lot of money...here is what I came up with: (The most expensive thing I bought was the $6 bucket @Michaels without coupon).

All the goodies

So I scoured my bathroom and pantry to find unused items I already had to add to the kit.

Sleep Sheets sleep aid (free with instant rebate from Walgreens) for DAD, NOT MOM
Loofa (in a shower gift pack I bought after Christmas)
Revlon nail file (used coupon got it for a few cents)
Hand sanitizer ($1)
Secret deodorant (used coupon almost free)
Free samples Treseme shampoo/conditioner)
Free samples Body soap
Mouthwash (used coupon almost free)
Disposable razor (from value pack)
Chapstick
Body lotion
Hair ties/head band (from value pack)
Free sample face wash
Gum ($1)
Granola bars/snacks (from my pantry)
Victoria's Secret beach bag (free with earlier purchase I made, I have tons of bags, so I kept it in the package for a gift) **Any bag will work: gift bag, reusable gift bag, beach bag from discount store, etc.***
Gift bucket ($6 from Michaels, cheaper if you use their popular 40% off coupon or find them on sale) ****This is the most expensive thing I bought*****
A free Hospital Kit printable Hospital Survival Kit Printable FREE
Finally some ribbon and a hole puncher...Ta-Da!
I also added some other bigger items that would not fit inside the bucket. I had some breastfeeding pads, some feminine pads, and stool softener (not very glamorous but most needed!)

Stuff goodies in bucket or other gift container

Ta-Da

Teachers & Stay-at-Home Moms (Make Extra $$ This Summer)

As a substitute teacher, I do not get paid during the summer months and I haven't found any luck with tutoring over the summer either. I only work part-time on my husband's days off (bummer for him). So I began researching a few months before summer arrives to plan ahead and see what's out there for moms or subs. I don't want to go anywhere; I am looking for a telecommute job or online job where I can work on my own time while my baby is napping. So here is what I found: 1. Work at Home Job Listings This is a great database website that takes you to other websites that are hiring for at home jobs. You can search your area (mine came up with zero). Or you can scroll down and browse a list of newly added jobs. Some examples of jobs are bloggers, editors, telemarketer, writers, tech. support, developer, and even an Android App. reviewer. 2. Mystery Shopping Provider This might be a fun way to earn money if your a stay at home mom who doesn't necessarily like ...

Be healthy, Be happy!

As moms we tend to think we are Superwoman and can do it all! But don't forget you need some time for yourself. Eating healthy is difficult when your toddler didn't finish their mac n' cheese and you don't want to "just throw it away". So I have been trying to be healthy and put myself first, because if I get sick or don't have energy it effects everyone! So I started daily walks with Sydney and replacing one meal a day with a "Green smoothie" ( see pinterest board for recipes ). I need some music to motivate me when I am walking/running/dancing so here is my list. iTunes no longer has public music lists. Below are the names of the songs and artist. I did't have the time to type all the songs, so I just took a screenshot of my iTunes playlist. When I get time I will type the whole list :)
