And don't forget the recipe to create your own birdseed ornament.  I've modified the post a bit to ensure you're aware that the cakes MUST DRY COMPLETELY before packaging.  Otherwise, you'll get a moldy mess.  


Trust me, I speak from experience.

Free DIY printable: Mother's Day gift tags

 
You know those cute little plants found in the floral aisle of grocery stores?  I think they make great little gifts.

Click here to download free, DIY printable circle gift tags from Good Gravy! The design is double-sided so you can affix each side to a popsicle stick (or use a clothespin like I did because for the life of me I can't find that stinkin' bag of popsicle sticks I bought last week).

Best of all? The gift tags aren't necessarily just for moms...you can use them for other women in your life who you recognize on Mother's Day, like aunts, teachers, grandmothers and more.  Enjoy!

 

DIY free printable: "It takes courage"

I like this quote from e.e. cummings:

I found an inexpensive 5x7" frame, threw the quote into a quick design layout and printed it.

Save, Give and Spend Jars

At nearly six years old, we decided it's time for Waverly to understand earning and spending money.

Each week, if she completes her "chores" (i.e., bringing her dish from the table to the sink), she'll earn a small allowance delivered in coins.  With that allowance, she can choose to divide it into SAVE, GIVE and SPEND jars.

We explained the concept of GIVE to her and she decided that when the jar was full, she'd use the money to buy groceries for our local food pantry.  I found it important at her age to offer tangible giving options to so she can see immediate results of her charity.  Buying a book and donating it to the library was another tangible option. 

Let's face it: we could all use SAVE, GIVE and SPEND jars no matter what our age.  Get started and click here to download a FREE printable sharing these jar tags.  Happy coin collecting!

In honor of Wavey's recent choice of socks-pulled-to-her-knees (apparently an inherited fashion disorder), you can now download your own Good Gravy! free polka dots printable DIY gift tags in great, bright summer colors.
