Thrifty Thanksgiving Activities
Hard to believe it, but the week of Thanksgiving is almost upon us. That means time off from school, long car rides, long plane rides, and long (in your kids’ opinion) boring holiday dinners. What to do to keep your kids busy, you sane, and your wallet stuffed enough to take on all your blackContinue reading “Thrifty Thanksgiving Activities”
Thankful for a Kids’ Book Review
My inbox is full of ‘Black Friday’ deals and the TV is blaring Christmas ads at the top of its lungs as though there’s nothing between Halloween and consumerism…I mean Christmas but an Amazon cart full of cyber-Monday deals.

Dia De Los Muertos Deals
Pretty much everyone in North America is familiar with Halloween, but up until recently not too many folks had heard of Dia De Los Muertos.

It’sContinue reading “Dia De Los Muertos Deals”
