Easy Spring & Summer Rock Painting Craft for Kids
Summer is almost here! Have you come up with a list of fun crafts to do with your kids? Each week I hope to highlight some fun and frugal ideas for families! One fun and relatively easy craft to do with your kids outdoors this Summer is rock painting! Read on for a list of instructions and what you need to get started! Here’s a photo of my 5 and 9 year old’s painting set up. We did this one indoors during early Spring. During the Summer I suggest you spread an old blanket or beach towel on the ground outside in early morning or late evening and enjoy!

April 2010 Baby Contest Winners Announced!
I was overwhelmed with joy to see so many beautiful photos in our April free baby photo contest. I wish we could give prizes to all of you!
We also noticed a lot of “professional” photos uploaded to last month’s contest folder that were indeed beautiful. Unfortunately we cannot include those types of photos in the judging portion of our contest due to copyright/legal reasons.
Here are the 4 winners from overall to 3rd place. Congratulations to our kids and their parents! And, thanks so much to everyone who entered last month’s contest. We will be contacting winners via email to receive their prizes from our very awesome sponsor, RockNLearn.com

Get Paid For Recycling/Being Green
In honor of Earth Day I’m going to share with you several sites/stores that PAY YOU for being “Green”. Isn’t that awesome? Yes, you can recycle and get paid for doing it.
The following stores or websites offers customers money or store gift cards in exchange for old electronics, phones, gadgets, games, and more. I’ll be highlighting the stores and their programs below as well as providing links to the programs online.
Tip!!! I also wanted to share that I typed in information about an old camera I had lying around and was offered $15. Granted, it’s not a whole lot but its better than nothing especially if I’m never going to use it again. Plus I’m helping our Earth in the process and there’s no price tag on that! Of course there also instances when you’re better off selling your item on Ebay for much more money. For example, I typed in Little Big Planet for Ps3 and was offered around $13. I could sell it for around $30+ on Ebay.
Walmart: You can trade in your old cell phones, cameras, and more in exchange for prepaid VISA cards that can be used at Walmart stores or Walmart online. Walmart will even give you a quote online about the item you want to trade in. This program is powered by Gazelle.
