Welcome to the inaugural post of Mess For Less! I have decided to join the already over-saturated blogosphere. I have been inspired by the online mamas who have posted such wonderful ideas, activities and just general child rearing tips. You all have helped me fill those hours when I had three screaming kids and needed something to distract and entertain them. My goal with this new blog is to share some of my favorite ideas for toddlers and bigger kids. I want to provide you with activities and crafts that you can do with your little ones that are fun, easy, and cheap. Along the way I'll throw in some money saving tips and tricks. Join me on this adventure! My husband doesn't think I'll last more than 2 weeks.

ReplyDeleteI don't like this site, it makes me look like a bad mom..... Julie L (sister-in-law)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tera!
ReplyDeleteJulie, LOL! No it will make you look like a great mom when you pass off the ideas as your own. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for following my blog! Well, you've proven your husband wrong! Keep up the good work! Love your thrifty ideas. Need some for my 6 and 9 year old sons!!
ReplyDeleteI always love looking at first posts. What I love about yours is how simple and straightforward it is. Congratulations on proving your husband wrong. Not only did you last more than 2 weeks, but you've gained an incredible amount of followers.
ReplyDeleteI've never really cared how many followers I have on my blog, but recently I noticed I have so many fewer than many relatively new blogs and am beginning to wonder how I might each and share with more people. Please feel free to stop by Training Happy hearts to give me a tip.
And, thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment on the Snow Sculpture post the other day. I'm following you now, too.
