DIY Belly Bands

Okay, I have to admit I got a little too excited when I found this DIY. I am between an extra small and a small size in maternity pants and I am four months pregnant. I found some belly bands on ebay for about $7 shipped and are awaiting their arrival. Now, I am by no means a sewer. I very much dislike sewing. So when I found this tutorial, I was stoked. Using old tshirts as belly bands, how brilliant is that?!

Welcome

Well this is my first post and I am very excited! I have sooo many deals to share and fun things to make yourself. I love finding great stuff on the net and I love to share what I find.
I will start off by introducing myself. My name is Alison and I am the mother of two and pregnant with the third bundle of joy. I've been married to my high school sweetheart for 8 years. I've always loved to find a good bargain and this year has been a tough year for our family so finding ways to stretch a buck have become more of a necessity than something fun. So wether you need to or not, here are some good deals to start off with:
