Entertaining toddlers and young kids when they’re stuck inside can be a pretty big feat.

You can definitely catch yourself going crazy trying to keep their attention, keep them in one spot and let their brains and creativity flow.

These craft ideas all need less than five materials each, are simple and can be executed with not a lot of effort.

As a former preschool teacher, I’ve tried all of these crafts before and can confirm they’re super easy to execute, the kids love them and they turn out super cute.

Crafts are a great additive to learning – read a book, share some facts, then create the related craft! It keeps them engaged and excited about the learning process.

So whether you’re on the hunt for some new fun craft ideas, are going a little insane trying to entertain some young children, or want some new artwork to spruce up your walls, these craft ideas are sure to be a hit with the kiddos.

The Easy Way To Start Meal Planning | Tips & Tricks On A Budget

Meal Planning

We all know how difficult it can be to eat healthy dinners, stick to a budget and stay away from all those fast food temptations.

I get it – being in your twenties you always have a weird schedule, sometimes having to coordinate with your partner or roommate and so called healthy food doesn’t come cheap (& sometimes doesn’t even taste good!)

After moving out on my own I definitely got the reality slap that food costs a lot and making meals isn’t always as easy as mom made it out to be.

But! After four years of it, I’ve put together a solid system of meal planning, prepping and grocery shopping that works great for us.

It’s been so fun to think up fun games to celebrate the mama-to-be.

Personally I’m a big fan of Disney, so you’ll see that game below as well as some other fun ones I’ve created!

At Home Date Ideas

With the winter chill keeping you indoors, and the lack of bills in your wallet, it’s getting harder and harder to get out to go on a date.

It can definitely get expensive to go out for dinner, to the movies, or play a round of mini golf – I get it. With bills to pay and a savings to build, it makes it hard to get some special one on one time with your special person.

But! You can still get that special time right at home. I know it may not seem so special, but I’ve gathered some fun things to do at home to still spend that quality time with your one and only.

So whether it’s Valentine’s Day, or just a regular night, these ideas are great for spending some time with your person. For more at-home activities (that sometimes can include friends!) check out these rainy day activities!
