Budget Travel Tips
(room in Rome that was reserved through airbnb.com) I love to travel, but vacations can quickly become really expensive. I’ll be sharing some ways to cut travel costs by making specific choices of where you will sleep, what you will eat, and how you will spend your time. Most of my tips can be applied to local, domestic, and international destinations. Today’s post will focus on choosing where you stay.

Showing Love to those that Matter Most
I am reading Gretchen Rubin’s book, Happiness at Home, which follows her first book, The Happiness Project. I love the concept that she uses in both books – focusing for 1 month on a certain topic or theme in order to create a habit, or promote change in her life. Once Gretchen chooses a theme, she then creates steps or guidelines that will help her reach her goal. I have decided to try this for the month of February. My theme for February is “Show More Love”. February, (as commercial as Valentine’s Day has become) is a month where we typically go out of our way and make an extra effort to show…

Birthday BBQ Invitation
You just need some scrapbook paper/cardstock. Printer, baby hole punch, ribbon, scissors, and some glue. I just typed up the invitation info (could be for a picnic, or reunion BBQ). Added some clip art. Printed the BBQ clip-art on the red and white paper then cut them out to fit the card. Cut out all your pieces and glue them together. Punch your holes, add your ribbon, fold and glue the sides of your pocket together and let dry. Put invite in the pocket!
