Say Bye Bye to Buying New Toys!
I know we all want to give our children the best, but sometimes buying the newest toy is not the best decision financially. Not only that, but so many of us use our hard-earned money to buy our kid a toy, only for him or her to tire of playing with it a day later. I heard this statistic somewhere: by the time a child reaches kindergarten he or she will be given 10 times his weight in toys. Shocking! Of course, we all want to shower our child with love and toys. Buying new toys seems like the first logical step, but I hope you reconsider after you’ve read some of my suggestions on how to save money on toys and reduce toy clutter (because you won’t feel bad throwing away toys you didn’t spend a lot of money on!). If you have any more suggestions, I’d love to hear from you, so please post a comment below.
How to Save Money on Toys
I could make this post all about coupons you can use and where to use them to save money on new toys, but I decided to write about the often taboo subject of buying your child used toys. I know we all want to give our children the best, but sometimes buying the newest toy is not the best decision.
Vintage Baby Nursery Ideas
Decorating a nursery is one of the most exciting projects to do while waiting for the new baby’s arrival. After cleaning the room and applying a fresh coat of paint, it is time to add the furnishings and decorations. One design idea that comes to mind is to use vintage pieces to decorate the room. You can get them at antique shops, flea markets, estate sales and garage sales. You can also check with your parents and relatives to find out if they have some pieces you can use to give the nursery that nostalgic look.
