I don’t have little girls in my house but my three boys are like me; they love to shop!  Thankfully for my wallet, we have a store nearby called Five Below.

Five Below is a gem of a store that offers toys, accessories, party supplies and so much more all for $5 or less. Yep, everything, everyday, is just $5 and below! Got to love the catchy name! When my boys have birthday money to spend or a little extra pocket money, they always ask to go to Five Below.

Five Below is a great place for preteens and teens who like to shop for the latest cool stuff that kids really want. They have clothes, items to decorate their room, sporting gear, arts and crafts party supplies, candy and toys. It’s a treasure trove just waiting to be explored. Five Below is definitely my “yes” store because while the prices are low the quality is high.

A couple of weeks ago my two oldest boys and I went on a little shopping trip to Five Below. They were super excited when we hopped into the car and I told them where we were going. As soon as we walked into the store they ran right to the Beanie Boos. My boys don’t agree on much but their love of Beanie Boos. They couldn’t decide which ones to get so they both bought two. How can you say no for only $5 each? Deal!

From here they split up. My middle son, Mason had a ball looking in the large Star Wars section which was filled with everything from bags and puzzles to characters and school supplies. I was jotting down notes so I could come back and pick things up for stocking stuffers. Before he left this area he picked up a Angry Birds Star Wars game and a few other fun treasures.

My oldest Noah, was elated to find the Skylanders section at Five Below. Even though we’ve been collecting these figurines for only 4 years he still managed to find quite a few that he didn’t have yet. In this section they also have Leap Frog Explorer cartridges, earphones, phone case, ear buds and much more which is perfect for that pre-teen, teen crowd.

The arts and craft section at Five Below is great for my little Mason. He’s the crafty one in our family and is always looking for new supplies for his newest creation. From paints to crayons, clay and markers, Five Below has you covered.

Another area we spent quite awhile in was the game area. As a family we try to shut off the electronics and do family game night from time to time. We spotted a whole back wall of games at our Five Below store. I’m definitely going to go back to pick up a few for Christmas gifts.

While my youngest wasn’t with us, we certainly didn’t forget about him. We picked up a few goodies for him too including a Beanie Boo (of course) and some Hex Bugs. These little “critters” are one of his favorite toys.

With the holidays approaching, make sure to visit Five Below in your area. From stocking stuffers to full out presents, Five Below will keep you shopping without our busting your budget. Keep in mind also that Five Below has great items for those adults on your list too!

This might be the weirdest shopping habit that act This might be the weirdest shopping habit that actually saves me money every year. 👀✏️  Because back-to-school season isn’t just for back-to-school shopping! Here are three reasons I always grab a few extras:  1️⃣ Extra for later: I buy extra school supplies NOW while prices are at their lowest so I can restock later in the school year. Those pencils, notebooks and glue sticks always seem to disappear right when the prices go back up!  2️⃣ Office supplies: Back-to-school sales aren’t just for students. NOW is the time to stock your home office and grab supplies for work because some of the best office-supply deals happen during this season.  3️⃣ Donations: I love donating supplies to my kids’ classroom teachers, especially when they were younger. Plus, @voathrift is participating in Operation Backpack! Donate school supplies or gently used items through July 31, and you’ll receive a 30% off coupon to use in-store during August! 🎒💛  Do you buy extra school supplies too, or only what’s on the list? 👇  #BackToSchool #SchoolSupplyDeals #OperationBackpack #volunteersofamerica

🦁✨ Look behind the stage of Disney's @thelionking 🦁✨ Look behind the stage of Disney's @thelionking at @playhousesquare  My son and I saw the show last week, and it completely blew us away. The costumes, the music, the puppetry... it was one of the most incredible productions we've ever seen. ❤️ DON'T be late! The opening number is quite a unique experience.  The next morning, we went back for a behind-the-scenes tour, and it made us appreciate the show even more! We learned that some of the masks are made with real horsehair, got to see how the amazing puppets are operated on stage, and discovered one of my favorite fun facts... Zazu's neck is made from a slinky! 🤯  Another fun surprise? Rob Sapp, who plays Ed, one of the hyenas, is from Solon, Ohio! 🙌 I always love hearing about local talent making it to Broadway, and it made the experience even more special knowing there was an Ohio connection.  It's amazing how much creativity, engineering, and artistry go into bringing this beloved story to life. Whether you've seen the animated movie once or a hundred times, seeing it on stage is an unforgettable experience.  🎭 Disney's The Lion King is at Playhousesquare through August 16, and I can't recommend it enough. If it's on your bucket list, now's the time!  💛 Have you seen The Lion King on stage? Or tell me your favorite Broadway show in the comments! 👇  #bwycle #thelionking #clevelandmom #ohiofindithere
🩷 Would you hand feed the world's LARGEST rodent? 🩷 Would you hand feed the world's LARGEST rodent? We had the BEST day at @africansafariwildlifepark in Port Clinton, Ohio! This family-friendly attraction features both a drive-through safari and a walk-through park where you can get up close to hundreds of amazing animals from around the world.  One of our favorite parts of the day was adding on the Capybara Feeding Experience! Capybaras are the world's largest rodents, and getting to feed these gentle, social animals was such a unique experience. For a small additional fee, the park also offers several other animal encounters, so you can customize your visit with even more unforgettable memories.  If you're looking for a fun Ohio road trip or a unique family adventure, this one is definitely worth adding to your summer bucket list!  📍267 S Lightner Rd, Port Clinton, OH 43452  HOSTED!! #AfricanSafariWildlifePark #PortClintonOhio #OhioAdventures #OhioRoadTrip #OhioFinditHere
