So this week began my journey into a stay at home mom. Some of you may know that I was recently let go from my job. With only a few weeks notice and right before my expensive vacation to Disney world.
I've been off of work while Camden was here for about 6 months. During that time I had my own in home daycare center with a few family friends kids. This time it's just me and Camden. I'm beliving God that I'll get one of the 12 jobs I applied for that are doing exactly what I want. But I'm not due to hear back for a few weeks.
Because last time I didn't work I felt like I was losing my mind, I've decided to showcase our outings and activities on my blog so that if I lose my mind at least I lost it infront of all my readers (lucky you huh)! Well don't get too excited for this week. This picture displays exactly what we have been doing...lol!
No I kid. This week I've been crafting while Camden has been running around in circles knocking over my supplies and kicking my beads over. Like I said we are going to Disney. And the one thing I won't do as a single, currently unemployed mother is spend crazy amounts of money on over priced nonsense. So I spent less money on DIY Mickey hats, ears, and Tshirts. I've been reading all the blog and reviews on how to travel to Disney for cheap. So I'll share some of them with you guys..
1.) the obvious .... MAKE YOUR OWN SHIRTS AND HATS! You can also buy them from the Disney store. I like to make things so I felt this was the more fun option.
2.) take water bottles and get the free ice water from the park. You can also bring snacks and food in the park so do that as well,
3.) anything you do buy you can buy from the stores and they will have it waiting for you at the exit so that you don't have to carry it around with you the whole day.
4.) flip flops and sandals will give you blisters. So wear some comfortable running shows or sneakers.
5.) if you go to breakfast at 8am you have a chance to meet all the characters before the park even opens.
I would tell y'all more...but I'll save the rest to make sure it's all true after my trip. I'll be making sure I get all of the scoop on Disney so I can give you guys the 411.
But here are a few picture of the crafts I've made so far and my belly beads...I was talked into making these.
Pictures include: shirt for Camden, hat ears for Camden, flower ears for my sisters, belly bands (don't focus too much on my fat belly), autograph book, lace ears for me, flower sunglasses (just because), & Mickey water bottle.
