I’m a little obsessed with Pinterest. I love finding new
projects to do and not spending much, if any, money.
I’ve also found ways to save money. Inspired
by the many recipes on Pinterest, I started making our own laundry detergent
and dish detergent and sometimes baby wipes. These all save a lot of
money.
Pinterest also has hundreds of
ideas to entertain your toddler. Here are two easy things we did that I stole
off Pinterest:
Ashlyn
coloring with a marker on foil. I also gave her a wipe so she could erase and
color some more. She was busy with this for about 45 minutes.
Ashlyn taking colored (with food coloring) vinegar and
dropping it into a Tupperware container with baking soda to watch it fizz. This
also left her busy for at least 45 minutes.
Other
things that were inspired by Pinterest were to change an old nightstand into
storage for the coloring books and diapers in our den. Using old paint we had in the garage, I just
spray painted it black and stamped the top. We also had an old coffee table that had
stains on it and was very out of style now. I turned that into a toddler craft
table for Ashlyn and spattered paint on top. The containers on top of the table
were old Lysol containers that I wrapped in scrapbook paper and they are being
held by an old CD rack that was in our garage. Lastly, Ashlyn’s seating was a
cushion off of an old couch that I wrapped with a table cloth that I no longer
used. Ashlyn absolutely loves this
space. She has spend countless hours there since she’s had it.
