I know I have mentioned how frugal of a shopper I am before and my love for saving money. It started out of necessity. I needed to learn how to stretch our income as far as possible since the birth of my daughter and becoming a one income home with a new mouth to feed.  

I recently had the opportunity to shop at Save-A-Lot, although it was a bit of a drive for me, they are continually opening new stores. You can locate a local store near you. Save-A-Lot recently starting selling Suave products. I decided to purchase Suave Green Apple Shampoo, Suave Green Apple Conditioner, Suave Free & Gentle Body Wash Kids, Suave 2-in-1 Surfs Up Shampoo, and  Suave Kids Detangler.

I received complimentary products to share this post. All opinions are my own.

 

I lie to my kids. There I said it. Feels good to have that weight lifted off my chest.
If you don't have kids, or thinking about having kids, or a new parent and you are sitting there reading this and thinking, "I'm NEVER going to lie to my children." Never say never, my dear friend. Because you will one day. And when you first do it, you may not even think that's it's a lie. And then you think, well it didn't hurt anyone. A white lie is still a lie.
I lie to my kids and have no shame in doing so.

 

Things I lie to my kids about:

1. Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, & The Tooth Fairy. We also do Elf on The Shelf. We use theses tactics to get our kids to clean their room, be "good" at the grocery store, and other little things. I have fond memories of the first three I mentioned and I want to continue that tradition with my children. Just because we have been using the same lie so long, doesn't make it the truth.

2. "That toy is broken". When I really took out the batteries because it wouldn't stop making noises randomly in the middle of the night, freaking me out, and thinking someone was breaking in.

3. "You ate the last cookie yesterday." I really are the last cookie. Sorry, kid. But let's avoid a meltdown as much as possible.

Let’s face it, we all lie. White lies make life easier for us (the park is closed today) or make our kids happy (Santa Claus is coming!). Young kids make up stories as they learn the difference between fact and fiction, while older kids sometimes lie to cover for each other or to keep themselves out of trouble. I am a member of the Netflix Stream Team and Netflix has put together a list of kid-friendly titles related to lying and honesty for you that can help.
