Thrift Stores




Tomorrow 9/16/15 is the "Ohio Thrift" stores half priced day. My eeny weeny Blog will be closed tomorrow, not just for half priced day but also it is my day to grocery shop for my dad and myself and it's cleaning day, so it will be a very busy day....BUT....that is not why I am making this post. So now you are sitting there asking yourself, "why is she making this post then?" Well it's because the Thrift Store can be more than just a clothing & dishes store. I don't know how many of you really browse the thrift store but it can become your best friend when it comes to items to help you get a workout in!
 
I posted a while ago how to make a homemade medicine ball from a cheap basketball found at the thrift store, we have no since made 2 more. You can find that info by clicking here. Recently we just got an exercise ball for only $2.99 with it's pump at the Ohio Thrift Store on Broad Street in Columbus right by Value City Furniture.
 
 



We have also found different weights, a soccer ball to well you know play soccer with. Which I am not a soccer player (haven't been since I was in lollipop soccer) but I figured I could make a good workout with it running around in the yard with my youngest son. You can get a basketball (which we already knew...lol) and not turn it into a medicine ball but play basketball which is a great workout. I have found different workout DVD's too. Make sure you are looking good at the thrift store!
 
 
Now we went over what everyone always goes to the thrift store for, I went over keeping an eye out for workout items. Now here are some tips, really look through whatever you are looking at good. I almost passed up a copy of Gone with the Wind on DVD unopened! I got my copy at the thrift store the other day for only $4.99. I have gotten complete book series just by looking good and going back to that same thrift store a few times. When I was younger just married money was tight but I was use to wearing name brand items, I kept that up by going to the thrift store! Now I let you guys know that half priced day was tomorrow at the Ohio Thrift stores in Columbus, if you don't already know the Volunteers of America's Half Priced Day is always the last Tuesday of the month!
 
 
So the point of this post....If your not popping tags with $20 in your wallet, you need be!
 
 
See you guys Thursday :)

DIY Tangled Inspired Paper Lanterns

  I am trying to pick some of the Disney movies a lot of kids love, for the week ahead. I love Tangled, I think the way they did it was great! I was always a huge Beauty & the Beast fan and while that will forever be my all time favorite the newer Disney movies are just awesome with the animation and the songs. I have a whole Disney playlist on my phone for Celeste and you guessed it Tangled is on there, that is one of her favorites as well. I found this DIY and knew I had to blog it that way when she is older we can make them together. Here's what you'll need: construction paper toilet paper rolls scissors glue crayons Create: First, put construction paper around the toilet paper roll. Measure the construction paper and cut it to fit to size. It doesn't have to be perfect. On some of the rolls you can decide to add extra decorations. Like the Rapunzel sun and swirls before you glue it on to the toilet paper roll. Remember this ...
