Chas’ Crazy Little Letter: Hollywood Adventures & Dollar Tree “Don’ts”
Good morning, friends!
I am so thrilled to be writing to you from California this week! We decided to take our work on the road so we could be here to celebrate my daughter’s “golden” birthday. If you didn’t know, she is a zoologist at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, but for this trip, we are switching gears from the animals to do some sightseeing!

We are heading to the Marvel Campus at California Adventure, going to see the iconic Hollywood sign and the stars on the Walk of Fame, and even hitting up a spooky swap meet! It is such a fun, unique mix of things to celebrate her. We are just soaking up all the family time we can get right now, especially since my own birthday is coming up next weekend. It is definitely a season of celebration in our family!
🛑 The Video: What NOT to Buy at Dollar Tree!
You all know I absolutely love Dollar Tree. It is my go-to for so many crafts, organizing bins, and cleaning supplies. However… there are definitely a few things on those shelves that are not worth your hard-earned $1.25.
Today, I am taking you shopping with me to share the items I always skip, and what you should buy instead to make sure you are truly getting the best bang for your buck!

Clearance Find:

I also spotted some amazing deals over at the Target Clearance section this week! If you need a few affordable updates for your home or patio, it is definitely worth a browse before things sell out.

Speaking of saving money, if you are looking to get your finances organized this spring, my printable Budget Planner is the perfect tool. It is completely customizable and takes the stress out of managing your household pennies!

I know we all have different projects we want to tackle right now—some of you are gardening, some are decorating, and some are just trying to keep the house clean! I’ve put together a special collection of my favorite projects below so you can find exactly what you are looking for today.
Let’s Chat!

I would love to know—what is one thing you bought at the dollar store that ended up being a total flop? Or, if you’ve ever visited the Hollywood Walk of Fame or California Adventure, tell me your favorite part! Let me know in the comments below.
Sending Hugs,
