How to Make Minnie Mouse Hair Bows
If your little darling is anything like mine, she LOVES the Mouse! In preparation for an upcoming trip to Disney, I created Minnie Mouse hair bows for my little girl. They were a hit at play group, so I taught a bunch of moms how to make them at our monthly craft night. It was easy enough, so I thought I would share. Have fun!
Step 1 - Gather Your Materials
Free $10 Mall Gift Card!
“I just made us $20,” my husband exclaimed! Yep, once again my hubby found a great deal that I just had to share.
“Shop Smart. Look Fab” is a national promotion by General Growth Properties (a national mall chain). If you have a GGP mall near you, you can sign up for one of a limited amount of $10 mall gift cards available. (Note to locals, the Altamonte and Ovideo Malls are GGP.) My husband quickly signed up for one for him and one for me. He said there were 200 something GCs left for our mall when he signed up. So go sign up quick! Here is how…
I Love Crocs for Kids! (And Crocs Sale!)
I never really got into the whole Crocs thing… They seemed big and bulky in only loud, bright colors. I think I tried a pair on at the store once, and I wasn’t impressed. But when K came along, all the mom’s raved about them and I am a sucker for anything Disney, so when Crocs had a sale, I bought K a pair to try… Now I am a convert!
I LOVE CROCS FOR KIDS!!!
Not only are they adorable (bright colors are great on kids), but K loves them! If I don’t put them away in her closet and she sees them, she wants them on – right then! Above all other shoes, she always wants to wear the Crocs! Plus with the Mickey holes – they couldn’t be cuter.
Since we love them so much (bought a second pair last week), I had to pass along that Crocs is having a BOGO sale!!! Not only are they BOGO, but free ground shipping! If you are skeptical like me or already a Croc lover, stock up!
UPDATE: Use coupon code slx8797 for an extra 25% off. (COUPON EXPIRED)
Free Hallmark Card Coupon
I LOVE getting cards in the mail. (Heck, I just love getting mail!) Print this coupon for a Free $.99 card at Hallmark (in store coupon) and pick up a card to send to a friend! Now until Sept 30. (Hey you can pick up a birthday card for me!)
The Mother of All Garage Sales – The State of Califorina
Seems like the Governor of California is taking a page from the book of moms everywhere. We all watch the news, we have all heard about the financial problems faced by California, so Governor Schwarzenegger thought outside the box and decided to hold a garage sale to sell of some of its surplus property. You read that right, Governor Schwarzenegger is hosting the Great California Garagae Sale. I LOVE IT!!! I am all the way in Florida, so I won’t be rushing out to the sale Saturday morning, but what a great idea.
They even have some of their items (cars) on eBay, and Gov Schwarzenegger signed the cars!
So to California – good luck at your garage sale. I hope the residents get some great deals while the state raises some much needed cash!
