That little sweet & sour onsie is too cute!  Pure Citizen has these cute organic baby and kids organic clothing items on sale for 30% off.  They are still a little pricey but a good deal if you like to put your kids in organic clothing.   
 
Pure Citizen is newer on the scene of deal sites.  Their deals focus on things like Eco, Vegan, Fair-Trade, Organic, Handmade, Cruelty Free, Sustainable… I have seen some really beautiful and practical items from them and every sale donates a portion of profit to charity.

EBATES gives you a percentage of cash back when you make purchases at online retailers through their site.  It is pretty exciting to find a deal at an online store and then go through EBATES to purchase it because I get cash back on top of the sale price.  If you haven’t signed up for EBATES give them a try.  The savings really add up!

Planning a Spring Break at Home

by

Spring Break time is coming up quick! We are not going anywhere this year but rather are planning to stay at home.  Being at home for a whole week without school requires some planning to keep everyone happy (and mommy sane).  This year I asked my children to write down (or tell me) what 5 things they would like to do over Spring Break.  I told them that we would plan to do at least 1 thing that each of them had picked.  We made a list of some fun things to do and I thought I would share it so you can get some ideas too.  Keep in mind that I have 6 kids and they range in age from 2 to 12.  Not all of these activities are suitable for all ages.

  • Picnic at the park and play on the playground
  • Visit a local art museum (check their website because many of them offer Spring Break discounts and free days)
  • Make or buy snow cones
  • Go see a movie
  • Ice Skating
  • Pick a craft to do and shop for materials and make it (in our case we are going to learn to sew simple pillows and make hair clip flowers)
  • Pajama Day combined with popcorn and renting movies
  • Make cookies and take them to local heroes (firemen, police men, hand them to the mail man, etc…)
  • Spend a little time talking about how each one would like their room decorated and go get one item towards that goal.
  • Go to local Farmers Market and pick some new things to try
  • Plant your own flowers or herbs Day
  • Have a scavenger hunt in the neighborhood
  • Baking/cooking class (making a favorite treat or simple meal)
  • Write and illustrate your own book
  • Go to the Library. Then have a contest to see who can read the most pages in a day (the younger ones can do picture books or have books read to them)
  • Kids in charge Day (this one takes a brave mom!)
  • Art time: drawing, painting, clay or play dough. For the little ones, making letters or shapes with their fingers on a plate of rice or shaving cream.  
  • Taking stuff to the consignment store and picking a few new things (my kids surprisingly love this!  It is a good way for us to clean out the old and update their Spring/Summer wardrobes)

Obviously we are picking and choosing only a few of these to do.   I am excited to have a plan and go into the week looking forward to each day with the kids.  We will still have nap/quiet time every day to make sure that the little ones (and mommy) don’t get too worn out.

I hope you have a wonderful Spring Break when your turn comes!  I would LOVE to hear any other ideas you have to fill the days!!
