Preschool Finances

How to you teach your child about budgeting?

Yep, those my friend are more washed out formula cans. Are you ready from some up-cycling? We have begun a new habit in our home. Partly to teach our oldest child (3.5) about prioritizing and budgeting but also just as a different system of reward. I'll tell you more about our "fake economy" later but for now I just want to tell you the 3 basic categories we are teaching her to "budget" her money into. God. Save. Spend. That simple. We give back to God just a simple part of what He's so graciously allowed us to manage. Then we save for bigger things. And we get to spend more frequently on smaller things. Here is how we made her 3 banks:

Like I said, I'm working on a future post about our "reward system" but I will just say it involves bread-ties and then divides them {currently}divides them {she calls it 'organizing' them} Evenly into the 3 categories/banks.

How are starting to teach your littles about finances and how to handle them God's way? I'm always up for new ideas!!!

DIY Organic Bloom Frames

I love changing up my home decor often, so I can't bring myself to spend big-bucks on a single piece; so in-turn, I'm kind of a cheapskate. Most of my decor in my home is some how a DIY version of something I saw and loved so...Yep! I have a DIY version of The Organic Bloom frames! I'd love to share with you today how to get a similar look over at the Homemaker's Challenge!

Another place I found CHEAP frames to paint up yourself if the Goodwill has a low stalk: http://www.poppyseedprojects.com/kits/Frames! Check out their blog as a great resource as well!

  Poppy Seed Project GIVEAWAY coming Soon! Stay tuned.
I'm thinking the RED and HEARTS might be a good hint ;o)
