My daughter got some of this Floam stuff for her birthday because we heard it was pretty cool.
Now, what the heck do we DO with it?!

Now, I really have no problem actually recycling cardboard boxes. This isn’t something that I save up. Imagine that! The packrat actually DOES get rid of something.

However, I am always thinking of creative or frugal ways to use cardboard boxes to save me money. I do use them for basic storage of plastic items. However, I can’t use them for a lot of storage since I live in Florida and need WATERPROOF storage to make sure my items are hurricane proof.

So, creative moms. Do you have any clever or fun ideas to use those occasional big cardboard boxes that I come across? I’m definitely listening.

I’m thinking of some Halloween costumes made from boxes and will post them soon…

I know there are tons of ideas for this. I’m hoping that I’ve got some clever readers who can help.

My kids bring home their brilliant art projects from school every day. I adore their art work and would love to preserve ALL of it, but … I’d have to buy a bigger house in order to do it.

So, what can I do with my kids’ artwork? Any ideas for presentation or preservation?

Let me have it.

With two kids around (and both love art), I’ve managed to accumulate a lion’s share of crayons. Many are broken and peeled, and some are quite small.

As usual I assume there is something I can do with this bucket ‘o crayons, but I have no idea what.

Calling all creative moms — What can I DO with all these broken crayons?

I saved boxes and boxes of my kids’ baby clothes. I went through them again, recently, and saw they had spots on them that WERE NOT there when I put them away. Creepy….

Anyway, if you know how to get those spots out, let me know. But, other than that, what can I do with all these baby clothes to keep them, rather than having them add to the boxes of junk around here?

Let me have it…. Those tiny little booties are precious, but they are just collecting dust in the garage.

I’ve seen a list somewhere of uses for baby wipes. You’d think those things were made with a touch of magic with all their uses.

I do keep some in the car. They came in extremely handy on the side of a highway in Mississippi when my 4 year old got carsick on our way to Texas. I hate to think of what we would have resorted to if we hadn’t had the baby wipes.

So, thrifty and creative moms, other than wiping a baby’s little bottom, what can I do with baby wipes?
