We're finally picking out the perfect finish for our DIY kitchen backsplash! I think we are close to finding a winner—can’t wait to show you the before and after. #FrugalMomLife #MakingFrugalFun #DIYKitchen #BacksplashMakeover #TileShopping #FrugalDIY #MomLifeProjects #WeekendDIY #HomeRenovationOnABudget #KitchenGlowUp #DIYWithKids #BudgetHomeMakeover #LTKHome #LTKFamily
Here’s what I’m thinking about for the backsplash. I want something simple because there’s a lot going on with the blue and white cabinets and black granite countertops. #tilebar #backsplashh #LTKHome #LTKFamily

I love this easy Thanksgiving dessert idea for the kids table, because I don’t know about your kids, but mine aren’t a fan of real pumpkin pie. Full process on my YouTube channel.

I made these graduation year photo numbers using leftover cardboard, printed photos, and a little creativity! Blog post: https://www.makingfrugalfun.com/graduation-year-photo-numbers-table-centerpiece/ It cost me ZERO dollars, but even if you need a little trip to the dollar store, you will spend very little to recreate this easy project. It’s the perfect frugal party DIY and the sweetest way to celebrate your graduate’s big moment. #graduationdecor #diygraduationparty #frugalpartyideas #budgetpartydecor #diycenterpiece #graduationtabledecor #2025grad #momsoftiktok #makelifefrugal #craftyideas #budgetfriendly #diyprojects #makingfrugalfun #diymom #momof4 #momlife #graduationday #LTKFamily #LTKParties #LTKHome

Can’t find a king cake for your Fat Tuesday celebration?! You can make one with ZERO baking skills! The only problem is that I couldn’t find a ONE pack of plastic babies to hide in the cake, so we are set for the next 35 years 😆🫣. As a Catholic convert, Lent and Easter season are my favorite! I really enjoy creating simple traditions to get the kids excited about this time of year. Titus ended up with the baby in his piece of cake making him this years Mardi Gras king, and on his 7th birthday too! 👑 Does your family do a king cake?! #mardigras #fattuesday #ashwednesday #lent #makingfrugalfun #familytraditions #kingcake #cinnamonrolls #diy #diymom #partyideas #catholicmom #momof4 #kidpartyideas #frugalmom #recipes #holidayrecipes #holidayideas #epiphany #celebrate #easter #LTKFamily #LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

We don’t have space for an end table on this side of our sectional but it’s my husband’s favorite spot to sit!

My daughter had her first communion! We had trouble finding a dress she loved in stores but OF COURSE, found everything we needed on Amazon.

Walmart has seriously stepped up their game this summer. I found two dresses that are comfy, high quality, and so affordable. Both are just $34 and linked on my LTK. These would be perfect for graduation season, wedding guest outfits, baby showers, summer parties, or even a casual backyard cookout. The fit, fabric, and price are all giving yes please. Would you have guessed they’re Walmart?! Let me know which one’s your fave. #WalmartFashion #LTKFinds #AffordableStyle #SummerStyle #BudgetFriendlyFashion #LTKPetite #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKOver40

Don’t toss those sandwich crusts! 🍞✨ I save all our PB&J (and Nutella 😋) crusts in the freezer, and today I turned them into these super easy mini French toast bites. Just mix up a quick batter, pour it over chopped crusts in a muffin tin, and bake — boom, grab-and-go breakfast the kids LOVED. 🙌 Perfect for busy summer mornings or school days later on!

I can already hear the comments about how this is “so unhealthy” 😂 but the kids LOVED it and it was such a fun, nostalgic dinner for Saturday movie night. As a 90s kid, I was literally raised on Kid Cuisine—and honestly? It was just as fun the second time around.

I had way too much yogurt in the fridge, so I turned it into a fun toddler snack 🐻 These frozen yogurt bites were SO easy and a big hit! Just fill silicone molds (I used gummy bear shapes!) with your favorite yogurt and freeze for at least 4 hours. That’s it! They pop right out and make the perfect cool summer treat. 🧊🍓 Great for using up extra yogurt, and a fun way to sneak in some protein and probiotics 🙌 Comment YOGURT and I’ll send you the links to the bear molds I used! What else could I make with all this yogurt?! #ToddlerSnackIdeas #FrozenYogurtBites #FrugalFunForKids #SummerSnackHack #MakingFrugalFun

Links to summer learning tools (state and country flash cards, poker chips) This is how we’re handling routines and rewards with 4 kids at home this summer—or what’s working so far anyway!
 We keep it simple: a basic schedule, a fun reward system, and enough structure to keep everyone (including me) sane. 😅 We also have a toddler so working around her nap time can be a struggle with older kids. I also linked the state and country flash cards that we use in my LTK if you’re interested! #momlife #summerschedule #summerwithkids #rewardchart #frugalfun #makingfrugalfun #stayathomemom #kidsroutine #summermomhack #LTKFamily #LTKKids #LTKHome
Tried to be that crafty Pinterest mom and make the viral puffy sidewalk paint with my kids… and let’s just say attempt #1 was a frugal FAIL. 😂 The good news? Messes make memories—and we eventually figured it out. This DIY is actually super fun for all ages (just maybe prep it during nap time 😉). We even used it in the pool and water table! Follow @makingfrugalfun for more mom-tested fun, fails, and affordable summer memories ❤️ Supplies linked in my LTK! I added one tablespoon of corn starch to about 1-2 cups of shaving cream (I did not measure precisely), and desired amount of food coloring! Mix inside of gallon bag and then poke a small hole in the bag to more accurately squeeze into the bottles! #frugalfun #momlife #summeractivitiesforkids #puffypaint #diycrafts #kidsactivities #frugalmom #budgetfriendlyfun #momfail #sensoryplayideas #toddlermomlife #summerbucketlist #messyplay #cheapfunforkids #makingmemories #stayathomemomlife #reallifemom #craftfailturnedwin #LTKKids #LTKFamily #LTKSummerEdit
