Free admission to museums
I subscribe to a great e-newsletter from Mary Hunt called the Everyday Cheapskate and today she sent off some interesting information on freebies and other things of interest specifically to kids. One thing that caught my eye immediately was that you can get into some museums for FREE with your Bank of America credit, debit or ATM card. I don't know about you but our museums around here (we're in the Chicagoland area) are really pricey. They have free days for school kids occasionally but then it's so crowded you don't want to be there at all. This ...
Fun Free activities to enjoy this weekend (and during the week too!)
My twitter friend Deb Ng posted a quick and easy post listing 26 free things you can do this weekend as a family. I'd like to add that you don't have to limit yourself to just the weekend for some of these great ideas! Click HERE to see Deb's list. I just want to comment on two of them for now: 1. Have a family sing along. Phew this was a hard one for us to start doing. We felt all uncomfortable and nervous about how we sounded when we sang, etc. But after we did it the ...
Spring is in the air – start a nature notebook
I don't know about you but we are itching for spring here in the midwest. There are still patches of the cold white stuff on our grass and it's still pretty cold outside so we'll be waiting for a few more weeks but signs of it continue to appear - geese flying north, the yellow finches are looking more yellow than brown, buds are appearing on our lilac bushes (yay!). When we see the first robin, we know we'll be home free! This year, why not start a nature journal with your little ones during the spring months. ...

Bible Memory Songs for Children
As you know, one of the best ways for young children to memorize almost anything (actually, adults too) is to tie the memory items to music. My girls learned all the states and capitols in a very short time when I purchased some audio CDs with songs taking them through the entire United States – each of the borders and through the middle. It... [Read more of this review]
