What you Need:

– Cardboard

– Black Plastic Tablecloth

– Yellow Cardstock

How to Make:

1. You don’t need the cardboard if you want to apply it directly to the wall. However if you are not interested in putting tape on the wall you will want to use cardboard.

2. The simplest way to do this is to cut your cardboard with your New York Skyline first.

3. Cover the cardboard with plastic tablecloth.

4. Cut your yellow cardstock into rectangles and glue or tape to your skyline to make the windows.

That is it! You are done!

Build excitement and have the wow factor for your Disney Tangled Birthday Party. This is so awesome if you have a banister and if not it is still awesome if you start from the ceiling and then just go around the room slowly going down towards the floor. So easy to make and costs a couple dollars depending on how long you plan on making it.

I bet you are already having so much fun creating an amazing Tangled Birthday. Keep the creativeness going. There are so many ideas you can easily do.

Don’t forget to check out 11+ Disney Tangled Birthday Decoration Ideas.

What you Need:

– 2-3 Yellow Tablecloth

– Packaging Tape

– Scissors

– Flowers (optional)

How to Make:

1. Take a plastic yellow tablecloth and cut into 6 strips the long way.

2. Bundle up each strip to make it look poufy.

3. Braid like you would with hair with 3 strips.

4. Add the additional 3 strips to the existing and continue to braid. Make it as long as you desire so you may want to purchase 3-4 plastic tablecloths. These are a Dollar at Dollar Tree and currently $.97 at Walmart.

5. Make sure to secure them using packaging tape to the wall or bannister. You can use fishing wire instead which is much easier to cut when you are done and does not leave any marks.

6. (Optional) You can take some big fluffy flowers you can find at Dollar Tree and add to your Tangled Braid to make it pretty and more dimensional.

Perhaps you were thinking more of just using Yarn and twisting on the banister itself. Check out this cook ideas from Life, Love and Happily Ever After.

My little princess is not much for dresses or hair accessories but neither am I. However even before we had a Super Mario Bros. Theme Birthday party my little princess wants to be like Princess Peach.

So even if she has to wear pants underneath she will wear a dress. It has only been the recent month that this has come so we learned real quick she only has 3 dresses that fit her which means she does not like taking them off to get washed.

It becomes a battle with her each day and no matter how hard we have tried to keep the tantrums at a minimum with these dresses its a chore and down right frustrating.

Its amazing that she gets on the bus each day as if nothing has happened the previous hour of trying to get her dressed and out the door.

How do you handle situations like this? By the way my little princess is 4. She is not a girly princess but more tom boy super hero princess.

Do you think Princess Peach is a good role model? Princess Peach is portrayed at a damsel in distress but my daughter is very independent is does NOT like anyone doing ANYTHING for her so its a little odd that she likes Princess Peach.

What role models do your kids have?

You can do tons with cardboard to make a Tree house. What makes a great Roof? A Luau umbrella Cover. Ok well this is originally designed to fit over an existing umbrella but I am using it for my roof. Much like using a umbrella without the fabric for the palm trees I will use straws that hold my cover and have its sticking out from the room.

Last year I made an Evidence Vault in the Corner of the room. This theme I made the Tangled Branch Tree House so we can have our Bible Study time in it. It is much bigger than our Evidence Vault since we will actually be using it.

We anticipate a smaller group for our age group so we have changed rooms. I am now in a much smaller room but still plan on making the most of it. We still make the Tree house but not all four walls. We only made one wall and that is the front opening area with windows.

What you Need:

– Lots of cardboard for the Treehouse

– Packaging tape

– 2 different brown paints

– Black paint

– Green grass skirts found at Dollar Tree

How to Make:

1. First grab your desired large boxes that are for the base of each side. You can cut them down to size.

2. Cut the sides of the window frames for each base. I created two bases that I will attach to the walls. This will be my front of the tree house. The in between the bases will be the door way.

3. Next paint all your pieces both front and back with the light brown.

4. Take the dark drown and swipe all over the boards but leave areas you can see the lighter brown.

5. Take black paint and draw line either horizontal or vertical. Make sure to add some knots in by making them circular.

6. Use cardboard small long pieces to tape to the bends to keep them straight.

7. For the flooring I found this bamboo shade at Goodwill and paid about $.50 for it. There are some holes in it but not too bad. I will cover that with some tape and paint over it.

That is it! Have fun!

Having to start all over from nothing, this will be a huge challenge!

A quick summary; We have always struggled financially but we got hit hard in 2013 when one thing after another happened along with our poor choices. We ended up moving in with family, giving away, tossing or selling almost every belonging we had.

We have over the course of the past year gotten jobs, paid of credit card debt, closed out accounts with the exception of student loans. We are now in a position to start over. Thankfully we did not have to file for bankruptcy but it sure felt like we hit rock bottom.

Below is our family journey to starting over. It’s rough and very hard, but we are pushing through it and will make better choices. We are very grateful we have a second chance to start over.

1. Setting a goal – Don’t know where we are going yet, but we can start preparing now. What do I mean. We don’t have a place to live yet because that is several months off in the distance but what we can do as we start setting money aside for our new place we can set goals. As I started thinking of how are we going to set out as a family on our own, we need the very basics. I know we will have help and support from friends and family but we need to rely on ourselves to set goals and making frugal habits.

As I sat down with my notebook and jotting down lists I got so excited about the possibility of moving in a few months. Well things happen right? Yup they sure do. I started having visual problems and for the first time in 7 years I finally got insurance, its not the greatest but has enabled me to see an optometrist and yes you guessed it, I need glasses. Spending a lot of time on a computer will deteriorate your eye sight. So what does this mean to my excitement just a week earlier looks like my projected plan is now pushed back a few weeks.

More to happen! Hubby is right, we need to look at replacing our car. So I had to do some homework as to what we can afford and to pay it off before we move out on our own. I had to call our insurance to get a quote on adding another vehicle. Remember we will be adding to our fuel costs as well plus maintenance, taxes and registration. So this now puts up back at least another three months from my original expected moving date. So my advice, set your goal loosy and DO NOT get worked up if you have to readjust constantly. It’s OK we will work towards our goal and if it takes us even longer than that is what will happen. Things will come up and happen, be flexible and adjust accordingly.

2. New to us Car. Our first goal is to get a new to us car that will last a minimum of 2 years. So I am giving you what I am looking for because I am being realistic and upfront. We are struggling and so here is what we need. A car that is under 5K, that is the max I want to spend. I want a 2005 or newer with 100K or less mileage. Has to be a sedan because fuel cost may be low right now but they will eventually increase and because this is a second vehicle for awhile until our current one dies on us we need to think about costs. I know its a tall order but I know God will provide for us and we will get what we need. Yes we are expecting a refund from taxes and have already filed. Yes we are using a portion of it for schooling and a large portion for a vehicle. We plan on putting $2500 into the vehicle as a down payment giving us 2500 to pay in a few months. Because of our jobs and housing situation we can theoretically pay this amount off in 4 months. That is our goal as of right now but remember things happen so it may take us 6-8 months to pay it. Lets hope not!

3. Making a list of every Basic need. Yes it may seem silly, but once you start thinking and writing, the list becomes long. Yes I know toothbrush, toothpaste, toilet paper and something to cook with are essential, but remember I have 3 children and they require a few more basic needs. Because we are not pressed for a certain time, we can take the time to prepare for 1 years worth of basic needs and expand our list. Also we aren’t trying to rely on the help of others, its nice but we as a family need to take responsibility and make the frugal habits now, so we don’t find ourselves in the same situation we have been in. It helps if you visually picture in your mind walking from one room to the next while making your list of basic needs. Start with the kitchen. Move on to the Living Room, Bathroom, Laundry Room and bedrooms. Don’t forget to list items needed for outdoors, like a hose, lawn mover, etc.

4. Price checking online and in store. Now that you have your list of basic needs it is time to be realistic and write out the price of each item. Shop around what may be cheap at Wal-mart may be even cheaper at Dollar Tree or even Walgreens. Double check prices online such as Amazon or even grocery stores. You need to be flexible and not too picky. Yes starting over does give you a chance to decide colors, themes and patterns of items you want but you also need to be frugal minded. For example, when I was at Wal-mart making my first purchases I found pink ice cream scoops, spatulas and more. They were part of the College back to school selection but everything was priced at a $1. This is what I was planning on spending at Dollar Tree for the same items. So I was like “Yes” because I like zebra print and with pink accent to the black and white, I can have a relatively cheap decorative kitchen that is my style. See you can have fun and be imaginative and create your style without spending a ton of money.
