Today we focused on using what we had.\u00a0 Kendall has been spending ALOT of time in her room lately. Literally staring at the walls. She decided this week she wanted to remove a couple of shelves and make it more decorative. Here is the before picture<\/p>\n

Matt was able to cut out the round holders for her “Minnie Ears” using a drill bit that was purchased to help place lights in the ceiling. The wood was from some plywood, he salvaged from cleaning out my Dad’s shed several years ago. The current debate is to paint the circles white or black. I will update once this is finished.<\/p>\n

Of course we re-purposed the shelf to use in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

Another huge saving today is by re-using a device instead of purchasing a new one. This will take a little explaining but hold on. Zach is currently using the family phone. It is a Iphone 6 plus and the battery life is bad like less than 2 hours.\u00a0 When we flew to Disney in August, he used the iPad to watch movies and play games on the plane.\u00a0 Braxton is going with us in December and we have been trying to work out what device both he and Zach could use for entertainment. I have been looking at just replacing Zach’s phone.\u00a0 But today, I spotted Lily’s old IPad mini.\u00a0 It is probably close to 10 years old.\u00a0 We ended up charging it cleaning off everything that we could and loaded around 10 toddler appropriate games for Braxton to use. We are working on figuring out how we could download at least one movie for him to watch. This device is so old that Disney plus nor Amazon prime will run on it.\u00a0 We are looking into an Itunes gift card that would be the easiest way and cost less than $25 vs $1000 for a new phone.<\/p>\n
So today has been a really good saving day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
