Anyone else flying through home crafts, paper, markers, etc…with kids home all the time? We have a new plan of attack. Instead of spending WAY too much at Michaels & Target – Every couples we make a trip to the local Dollar Tree. It helps us stock up on activities cost effectively. It works for us for a few reasons:
- Kids can pick out things they want, with lots of seasonal options
- I can take a break from being the “no police”.
- This past year has been tough, I hate saying no but I am also not going to buy my kids toys and/or every time we run to a store. Not happening!
- But this is our special trip to stock up. And why not do so cost effectively.
- So if they pick up a snack they are excited about? Sure, put it in the carriage. An extra coloring book for a friend or sibling? yup, grab 2!
- I try and plan it around some milestone or accomplishment. Report card, potty training, you name it. So they feel like it is even MORE special
....but will there be wine?
