Having a Party for my baby girl in December is a challenge. And having her birthday be the 3 days before Christmas makes it even more crazy but I have to make it possible for her to have her own birthday memories that aren’t over casted by December Holidays. So it’s got to be memorable but also on the cheap! So to the dollar store I go! I buy the solid table covers: Some for the tables and some for the walls! Solid balloons, some paper products too. And all the rest…to the printer I go!
Add solid paper to the wall. Buy a few things 12 x 12 add Characters, make it personalized!
Finding Google images and only use them in your own home not for redistribution.
Just putting tablecloth up can create a backdrop!
Apps like Canva make invites a snap!
Make your own cake! It just adds to the memories!

Being a full time working mother of 2 full time kiddos and 2 part timers, makes it hard to “keep up with the Jones’ or “keeping up with the Kardashians” these days…
It always kinda tough making sure all areas of life are up to par, is so challenging! So to make my 6 year old, 1st grade Son always loves bringing treats for his classmates, and like always it was just two days before the Thanksgiving Holiday, he asks to bring a class treat and then came those puppy eyes… So this Mommy said of course we can do something. And now a days for school, things need to be store bought; which can be not as fun or personalized. So running to this Mommy’s favorite site Pinterest we found cute turkey pudding cups that look cute and easy enough to whip together for his class. So, ran out and got 4 for $1.00 chocolate puddings cups, at Wal-Mart and of course it probably could of been cheaper if we would of hit up Costco, but that’s what happens when it’s 2 days before you need them!
First Part of the Assembly line finished
These turkey pudding cups was he’s first experience doing an assembly line assembling process type project. First, we flipped pudding cups upside down and draw two little black eyes. Then, cut 2-3 “fall” colored turkey tails. Also, cut orange triangles, for the beaks and cut a red squiggles out for their gobblers. So, while my son drew the eyes; I got to do a lot of cutting, especially since we were making 30!
✌️Look at all these Turkeys! ✌️
Then, we started the assembly line I glued one color, he’d glue the next one. Then he would glue all the beaks on and I would follow behind gluing on the gobblers! It was a bit longer of a project then it looks probably taking 2+ hours to complete the set of 30 Turkeys! But the memories and experience you make with your children are the moments that money can’t buy!
