Summer Fun on a Budget: Fee Free Weekends at US National Parks

June 20, 2009 by


This is straight from the US National Park Service website:

America’s Best Idea – the national parks – gets even better this summer with three fee-free weekends at more than 100 national parks that usually charge entrance fees*.

Mark your calendars for fee-free weekends this summer:

  • June 20-21, 2009 (Father’s Day weekend)

  • July 18-19, 2009

  • August 15-16, 2009

And to make the fun even more affordable, many national park concessioners are joining the National Park Service in welcoming visitors on this summer’s fee free weekends with the their own special offers.

Here’s a tip – many national parks never charge an entrance fee, so you can plan inexpensive visits year round!

For a list of family fun activities this summer, visit National Parks: The Place to Be for Family Fun.

*Fee waiver includes: entrance fees, commercial tour fees, and transportation entrance fees. Other fees such as reservation, camping, tours, concession and fees collected by third parties are not included unless stated otherwise.

Summer fun on a budget: indoor fun!

June 19, 2009 by


On rainy days or days when it’s too hot to go outside, there are still plenty of fun things you can do inside (that don’t include TV or video games) to keep your kids busy.

Earlier this week I shared some craft ideas for entertaining your kids here.

Here are some more ideas:

*Bake – pick out your favorite cook (or other kid friendly recipe) and start cooking! My kids love to help in the kitchen

*Board games – My kids absolutely love it when we get to pull out the board games and we have a closet full of different ones that I try to rotate through so that they don’t get tired of playing the same thing over and over again (although for some reason they never seem to get tired of Candyland).

*Build and indoor fort – Grab your pillows, blankets, and sheets, and get creative! If you need some ideas, here are some great articles:
Building an indoor fort (from families.com)

How to build an indoor fort (from Helium.com)

*Indoor picnic – instead of eating lunch at the table, spread out a blanket and have an indoor picnic. This breaks up the monotony and my kids love it!

*Puzzles – my kids love puzzles. I have found some great, inexpensive puzzles for $1 at Dollar Tree and it’s a great boredom buster.

Here are some more great articles with ideas for indoor fun:

*Rainy Day Activities for Children Ages 6-10

*20 Fun, Indoor Activities for Bored Kids

*Rainy Day Fun and Boredom Busters for Kids

Coupon round-up!

June 19, 2009 by

There will be two inserts (RP and SS) in this Sunday’s paper. You can check out the full listing here on The Coupon Clippers. I didn’t see a whole lot to get excited about. Keep in mind that inserts vary by location, so your inserts may have different coupons or different dollar amounts.

If you are looking for multiple copies of coupons, The Coupon Clippers is my favorite resource. Coupons for the Sunday inserts are available for purchase early Saturday morning and the hot coupons go FAST.

Here are the highlights:

SMARTSOURCE
*.50/1 French’s Mustard on any (expires 9/10/09) – good for the 10/$10 sales if your store doubles because it will be free

*.75/1 Huggies baby WIPES on ONE package, 64 count or larger (expires 7/18/09)

*$1.50/1 Huggies DIAPERS on ONE package (expires 7/18/09)

*$2/1 Iams Premium Protection pet food, this is a TARGET coupon NOT a manufacturer’s coupon (expires 8/31/09) – this would be good to combine with the $2 off coupons from the P&G Year of Savings booklets when they have a gift card deal on Iams (which they seem to have almost every month)

*$1/1 Kraft DIP on any ONE, 16 oz (expires 7/31/09) – great for the 10/$10 sales because then they will be free!

*$1/1 Kraft SALAD Dressing on any ONE bottle (expires 7/21/09)

*$1/2 Oscar Mayer HOT DOGS on any TWO packages (expires 8/16/09)

RED PLUM:

*$.75/2 Quaker CHEWY GRANOLA bars on any TWO boxes (expires 8/15/09)

The Coupon Clippers
