A Mother’s Day Yard Spruce Up with KmartThe other day the little guy and I headed over to Kmart to check out their Outdoor

Living section to see what we could do to dress-up our boring yard and make it a

place where people would love to gather and spend time together.

Monica Benavidez-Monica Wants It

A Frugal Mother’s Day Patio MakeoverWell, with Mother’s Day coming up, what better time to give my

patio a mini-face lift for around $100? Now, $100 may not seem

like much money, but you can get a lot for your money if you

shop smart at a place with great deals…like Kmart. I had to do

this revamp on a super tight schedule, so there are no fancy DIY

projects. This means anyone can do this makeover with some

smart, savvy shopping.

Patio Makeover on a BudgetHappy Saturday, everyone! So what

have YOU been up to today? Well,

Mother’s Day is right around the

corner, AND we have company

coming in next week, AND my hubby

has been out of town all week. I decided

it was time for me to have a little fun

today and do something I’ve been wanting

to do forever–sprucing up our deck and

patio! Yeah!

So I headed to Kmart to gather some

supplies for my deck/patio makeover. But

there was a catch! I’m a girl on a budget. I only

wanted to spend around $100.

Kelli Mullins-See Lolly Jane Review

Porch Makeover in Time for Mother’s Day!Mother’s Day is just around the corner! I happen to live next door to my

mom so I thought it would be fun to invite her over to breakfast, just me

and her. And since our weather is at it’s nicest right now, why not dine

outdoors?

Of course I had to spruce up my patio if I was having a guest! Want to see

the before? It was pretty lifeless...

Jennifer Curtis-Always in Wonder

Sprucing Up Our Porch for Mother’s DayI am so excited to show off my new front porch to you

guys. Spring is here, and summer is fast approaching,

which means our family will be spending a lot of time

outside. I have been wanting to makeover our front porch

for the longest time, and yesterday was the perfect time to

do it.

Our front porch is the first thing people see when they

enter our house, and there’s no reason it shouldn’t look

every bit as stylish as the inside of our house, right?

Nancy Polanco-Whispered Inspirations

Kmart Outdoor Living for Mother’s Day: Sprucing Up My Front YardWell, this year I decided to do a little something for myself and went on

a shopping trip with Hubby to Kmart and combed through the Kmart

Outdoor Living section. They have a vast and large variety of outdoor

decor. Fancy, pretty and downright cute things that can suit any style or

taste. From Celtic suns to Elvis frogs, you name it. I decided to spruce up

my front yard and make a little sitting space for myself to sit and read a

book, sip some wine and watch the girls play. I decided I wanted a nice

comfortable chair, a lot of ambient lighting for those warm nights and a

table to hold my cup of coffee or the girl’s lemonades. I also bought cute

accents to make this little area warm and home-y.

Happy Mother’s Day to Me! There is one sure way to get what you want for Mother’s Day…

pick the items out yourself! I knew that I really wanted to perk

up our dormant patio area so why not achieve two goals at

once. Get what I wanted for Mother’s Day and improve the

patio. I also knew that Kmart had a good sale going on their

patio furniture and décor, so my husband, son and I stopped

in and checked it out last night. I was pleasantly surprised at

the Outdoor Living selection–they had way more summertime

items than I expected to find. I loved the fact that you could

find things in every price range. The top item on my wish list

was seating cushions for the four chairs. Since the chairs and

table were black with a tan umbrella, I wanted a pop of color. It

was a tough decision as I went back and forth between green

and burnt orange seat cushions ($16.99 each), but eventually

I chose the burnt orange with a smaller animal print back

cushion at $9.99 each..

Mother’s Day Patio MakeoverMother’s Day is approaching, and I wanted to redecorate

my backyard for the celebration. As much as I would love

to spend the day sleeping, I will be hosting brunch for my

family.

I went to Kmart to get some new items to spruce up our

patio. The Kmart outdoor living department had such a large

selection that I wanted to purchase everything they were

selling for our garden.

Mini Porch Makeover

With Mother’s Day around the

corner I thought it would be

a great time to treat myself to

a patio makeover. As a busy

mom of three I think it’s

important to take time every

once in awhile to focus on

myself and sneak in a few minutes

of relaxation. One of the best ways I like to

relax is with a good book, only problem is I don’t

have a quiet and relaxing spot to read in. So a few

days ago I set out a budget and went shopping at Kmart

to makeover my patio into a relaxing area filled with

some of my favorite things.

Mother’s Day Patio Spruce Up!

It’s almost Mother’s Day and this year I decided to do a little patio spruce up. My

patio was looking rather drab and boring. I could sit down, but there was no

place to lay a book or drink. When the kids are playing outside I really need

a place where I can just sit and relax while watching them. My family agreed

with me and so we went to see what we could find at the Kmart Outdoor Living

section to make this space more live-able as a Mother’s Day gift to me! I was so

excited with what I found there!

Easter Build A Basket Challenge

Easter Build A Basket Challenge

Chelsea Day-Someday I’ll Learn

Some Boy’s First Easter

I was determined not to spend too much on his first Easter basket, so we piled

into the car and headed to Kmart to check out their Easter goodies. I like that

Kmart has a lot of stuff at a great price AND they have weekly sales advertised

in their circular, plus I get extra discounts as a member of their Shop Your Way

rewards program. I also scope out deals on their Twitter and Facebook accounts.

We ended up getting everything for his first Easter basket (including a necessity

or two that I’ve been meaning to pick up for him anyway) for less than $30.

{Tutu Easter Basket Tutorial} I was given the challenge to Build A Basket on a $30.00 Budget for Easter and

realized that this was the perfect opportunity to make the Tutu Easter Basket. I

went shopping at Kmart to see what I could find. When I looked through the

Kmart circular I noticed that if I spend $30 in the Easter department I could earn

$5.00 in Shop your Way Rewards!

Build a Basket {on a budget}Since I am the official Easter Bunny helper around our house, my job is to help

the Easter Bunny find the perfect goodies for each child’s basket. And since I’ve

got 5 kiddos the Easter Bunny has to work within a budget.

So I was super excited to be asked to participate in the Kmart Easter Build A

Basket Challenge! The assignment was to shop my local Kmart and try to build a

basket while keeping within my $50 price range.

Bunny Baskets!

I love to make the holidays special. It’s easy to shop for my three girly girls… in

the sense that I always know just what they want. Anything plush, cute and

girly! However… it is not always easy to stick to a budget! So I recently took on

a challenge. What was the challenge? Spend 30 dollars total to create an Easter

Basket! Instead of building just one Easter basket, I built three!!! I had to be very

frugal and so I went to KMart to see what good deals I could get there.

An Old World Easter BasketRecently, I had the opportunity to shop for an Easter basket

on a budget through a Collective Bias campaign on behalf of

Kmart stores. I knew that this project would be a terrific creative

challenge to put my flair for the “vintage” to the test.

Build a Basket on a Budget

Everywhere you go…you see pastel eggs and fluffy bunnies! I’m SO excited that

Easter is almost upon us! I hadn’t really thought about what I’d give the boys for

Easter, but was SUPER EXCITED about this challenge: Kmart Build a Basket

on a Budget Challenge! Do you think I can make THREE personalized Easter

baskets with goodies from Kmart, and do EACH basket for under $30?? You bet.

.I can!

Budget Friendly Easter Basket Ideas

This week I looked through the Kmart circular ad and found some great deals

on their toys and Easter items. So I woke up early to beat the crowds, picked up

some Starbucks, and headed out with my coupons in hand hoping to find a good

deal. Luckily I was able to find some great Easter items on sale. Plus I used my

Shop Your Way Rewards (SYWR) card.

Summer Davis-Banana Hammocks and Tutus

Easter Baskets on a BudgetThis year, we’re on quite the budget so I set a $15 limit for Madilyn’s

basket, a $15 limit for Grady’s budget, and a $15 limit for Styles’ gift.

Styles is one lucky boy and gets to go on vacation with my dad every

Spring Break, which almost always falls around Easter. This year is no

exception so he won’t be with us. And rather than set up a basket, I’m

going to send him off with a few special things for his camping trip like a

Perry the Platypus water bottle that I scored last week.

Ayva Makes An Easter Basket!This year will be no different, but as Ayva gets older, I’m trying to instill

a spirit of giving in her as much as possible. Easter is the perfect time

to teach a lesson about sharing and giving to others! She and I went

to Kmart to pick up some items to make an Easter basket for all of her

friends at her preschool.

I was really grateful for the sales because I didn’t clip any coupons or

plan for my trip at all! I usually get the circular from the Sunday paper,

or check the ads out online, but since our trip to Kmart was unexpected,

I didn’t have time to do any of that! I have a Kmart Shop Your Way

Rewards card, so I was able to get points for my purchase. The points

add up every time I shop, and I’m able to redeem the points as cash

whenever I shop at Kmart. When we checked out with our basket full of

stuff, I was really surprised (and happy) to find that we had been able to

stick with our budget.

Angie Knutson-My Four Monkeys

Build A Basket on a Budget ChallengeBefore we headed to the store, I looked online at Kmart dot com

to get an idea of what sales I could expect at my store. For some

reason, we didn’t get a Kmart circular in our Sunday paper last

week, but you can guarantee that I grabbed one as soon as we

got to the store to check and see what deals I may have missed

online! I also visited the Shop Your Way Rewards website to check

my account. If you’re not familiar with the Shop Your Way Rewards

program and you’re a Kmart or Sears fan, you will definitely want to

check it out. It’s completely FREE, and you earn points with every

purchase. There are also weekly deals and sales only for Shop Your

Way Rewards members that you will not want to miss out on.

Courtney Milton-French Country Cottage

Whimsical Easter TablescapeFor the table this year....I had a few ideas of what I wanted

to do. I love a natural and rustic setting with a little bit of

elegance and a little bit of whimsy mixed in. So I grabbed

a local Kmart Ad and headed in to the store to do a little

shopping. I was looking for place setting ideas, something

to bring a bit of nature to the table as well as something

fun. I was also looking for

2 pre-made baskets and was

excited to find that everything

was on sale.

Decorating for Easter with KmartThe holiday spirit hadn’t made it’s way into my house just yet, so I was excited

to visit Kmart to decorate my table and porch for Easter. Did I say table? I meant

tables... I really wanted to make sure I had a little Easter all over the house!

Amy Clary-Coffee with the Mrs

Decorating My Table the Kmart Easter Way!I recently made a trip to my local Kmart store in search of items

to use in decorating my table for Easter. I also needed to get

Easter baskets for Eliana and Alex. I know this is a store I can

count on to offer me a great price and the pre-packaged baskets

can prove to be quite the time-saver for this mom of three.

In our home, holidays like Easter are a pretty big deal and just

packed with activity and visiting. I enjoy adding things to my

home to make it feel festive and get the kiddos excited for the

day. And since the table is important to the holiday as we spend

plenty of time eating and snacking, I like to dress it up while still

making it kid friendly.

Anyway, I found everything I needed at Kmart and enjoyed all of

the deals I found while I was there.

April Decheine-April’s Lifestyle Show

Kmart Easter Tabletop DesignEaster is almost here and I am absolutely thrilled to be having my first

Sunday Easter Brunch here at the farm. We are heading to my father

in law’s home early and will return back to my home for a late brunch

and cocktails, along with some outdoor games and fun with my three

children. They are 27, 24, and 21 and still enjoy holidays where they

may get a gift out of the deal.

The most important thing is

spending time with my kids.

I love to decorate the whole

house for the holidays and

seasons. I went to Kmart and

picked up some beautiful

pieces from the Celebrations

by Radko line. I was also

thrilled to use my Shop Your

Way Reward card.

Brandie Valenzuela-Home Cooking Memories

Our Easter Dinner Tabletop (and it’s a family activity too!)Since Easter will be the biggest holiday dinner for our family since Christmas, my

mind started turning towards my dining room table. If you remember

back in December, I talked

about how I didn’t

have any holiday

decorations for our

dining room. With

the help of Kmart,

I did a makeover

of our dining room,

which turned out

fabulous.
