A small journey towards a more frugal and clutter free existence-- while dragging my husband and children along with me.

Car trip planning for kids
I've been assembling bags of small toys, snacks/candies and dvds for our long car trip.
For my big girl who loves to keep busy and who is starting the "Are we there yet?" whines I put together some stuff in an old folder to keep her occupied.
I stapled together some old scrap paper for a doodling pad. I found a notepad on clearance at Target that came with tiny markers for .50. I added some of her old baby animal magazines, a small book, and a magazine insert from Nick Jr. magazine that has a shell identification chart for some more diversion. If that doesn't work I'll blow up the whoopie cushion and see how long I can take the extended gross noise.
Last year I ordered a stuffed animal/storage lap desk that I didn't end up giving her (I overbought for Christmas and her birthday). This seems like a good time to get that out. It already has a coloring book and crayons included.
The little guy is getting a ziplock bag full of small toys collected from the bottom of the toy bin. And a pacifier.
