Wall Decals at Dollar Tree and Amazon - easy and cheap way to decorate!

When we were renting I tried to make our home more comfortable and look like "us", but had some trouble since we were not allowed to paint and that was my go-to to quickly and easily change a room.  One of my favorite discoveries were wall decals -- super easy, non-permanent, and no damage so the walls were still in perfect shape.

Even though we own our house now and have more freedom in decorating, I still love them!  They're a really fun way to add personality to a space without a lot of hard work or commitment.  They're very easy to apply, and easy to remove - and there are so many options to choose from...classy, whimsical, funny, inspiring.  Some of them even look like they're hand painted on the wall.

I have butterflies in the girls' room, a beautiful quote on our living room wall that my mom gave us, and yesterday I found a great monkey/vine decal that will be perfect above Lucas's bed.
(When I brought the monkey decal home, Lucas spotted it in the DT bag and before I said a word, he grabbed it and with a beaming face he asked, "Is this for me???"  Then he proceeded to hug it and show it to his siblings, lol!  So, it was a big hit.)

I found the butterflies and monkey at the Dollar Tree - seriously, they were a dollar!!  The butterflies have held up well and added so much to our girly girls room.  And if they get tired of them...they can peel right off - no repainting necessary!

If you don't have a Dollar Tree nearby, or just aren't crazy about their selection, I've found some very inexpensive wall decals on Amazon too.  Here are a few examples....

Purple Flower Butterfly Decal - $3.60 shipped

Lotus flower decal - $5 shipped

Joshua 24:15 - $4.40 shipped

Have you used wall decals before?  What's your favorite easy way to personalize your home?

FREE Kids Haircuts at JCPenney's through August!

This is an AWESOME freebie!!  JCPenney Salons are offering FREE kids’ haircuts to kids in grades K-6 during the whole month of August!

All you need to do is head on over to the JCPenney site and find a participating location ("every JCPenney salon across the USA") near you and schedule the appointments.  Easy peasy!  Call your local salon now to schedule your appointment – I'd imagine they’ll book up fast! 

I just called mine and had no trouble getting all 4 in at the same time!  The woman I talked to did mention that it's only the cut, so if we wanted extras (like having it washed, styled or dried), it would be another $10.

I normally cut my kids hair at home to save money, but this way we can let someone else do the work!  ;)  What a great way to save money (especially with all your back-to-school shopping needs!) and check one thing off your list before school starts!
