Sock hack: Place them in like a under garment washing bag. They can each have one. I use this for my toddler’s socks and it’s so nice

Girl! You did AMAZING! I LOVE DEALS as well and seeing what I can get at a fraction of the cost! Good job Momma!

You did an amazing job on these! I bet your kiddos were thrilled with everything you did for them! What a great mom!

We do that too- after each chapter book we read together or they read themselves, they have a sketch book and they sketch a picture. WE love to go back and look through all our old sketches and remember the stories we read!

Oh I love the trunks for costumes. My children put on skits for us when they were young and we love it so much!!!

My 10 year old asked for a weighted blanket. You did so much with your budget. Amazing

You did awesome on your budget...The kids will love it and I find kids appreciate things so much more than if they are given anything and everything... Merry Christmas to you and your family all the best with your renovating and in 2021.

I need to shop with you. Great gifts for your children!!!

The magnatiles are the BEST! We have those and our kids stay occupied time and time again with them...they dont get old!

I am a Nana and I love giving lots of gifts to my grandchildren so I thrift for the things also and buy 1 or 2 items each. You do great with your budget.

My kids wanted to start a channel after I started mine too, lol. Looks like some great stuff! I shop thrift stores too for Christmas gifts :)

Good job mama! ;)

You are a great mom!! I am a thrifter too

You did fantastic

I love how you stick to a budget and mean it etc about the hoverboard 😅

Wow, you found some great deals! You really stretched that $50 for each kid.... I’m sure your kids were happy on Christmas morning...did your oldest read any of the Lord of the Rings stories yet? My son loved the Hobbit book and all of the movies... but he really struggled to read the original Lord of the Rings Trilogy... what’s funny was that he was obsessed with those 3 movies when he was 4/5 years old..., he wanted to watch them practically every day! I absolutely could not stand those movies...lol.. He’s 19 now but he still loves all of them.... My teen son has been dating his girlfriend for 2 years... and when everything shut down, she started spending a lot of time here... so... we’ve been picking up lots of games and puzzles at Goodwill (once it reopened)... they were all like $2 or $3... And my son works there (he gets a discount)... anyway, it’s kept us busy the past 10 months.. And I was able to find a few puzzles that made great Xmas presents from Goodwill... I think it’s ok to buy some used items as gifts.... over the years I bought lots of used video games from Game Stop and it was really easy to buy toys at garage sales or thrift stores when he was 2 to 5 years old? Eventually they hit an age where they notice that the items are not new...I don’t know why I never thought to buy used books... I think it’s because my husband belongs to some book club that has amazing prices, so we order from there...

Ok first of all I want to go shopping with you!!!! You make me totally want to redo my whole Christmas! We’ve always just had our kids make a list for Santa then we bust our budget trying to make it happen. It’s been on my heart for awhile to get back to basics...I really like how you got them one thing they really wanted, then just shopped for them AS THEIR MOM, knowing them and what they’ll love. I love that! I usually shop at our thrift stores too, but we did 90% of our shopping online this year...covid🙄...so I really didn’t go out much. I miss it though, and you’ve really inspired me to honor our budget in the future. Thank you so much for sharing and for being transparent about your budget!💕 Merry Christmas to you!

I don’t have kids, but I still like the content
