I love your new blog! I also LOVE this post. After reading this one, I am going to make it my mission to set up a Saturday for myself while my own “fishpapa,…” LOL!… holds down our fort. Your boys will always have wonderful memories of this tradition, I am sure.

I wanted to let you know, too, that I had an opportunity to visit San Diego last year in March. My mom and I visited Seal Beach (I don’t know if that was the proper name for it…) in La Jolla (I think…) We saw a beach full of seals and their babies! It was such an unexpected sight for us. We had no idea they would be there. San Diego is beautiful! I wish I were closer than the 3 thousand miles away the I am.

Just today, we went to Sonic for Blasts.
I always order the large size and divvy it up between 2 bigger kids or 3 littles. They get their ice cream, and I get a deal!

I love Publix! I paid Zero for $90 worth of food and only $10 for 12 mega rolls of toilet paper and $4 in taxes. Wow!

My link is not so much a “frugal” tip but more a knowledge tip of how to save for college using an Education Savings Account.

When my four were little, we often went to IHOP or Friendly’s. We always shared dishes, because none of us could (or needed to) eat a full serving of anything. (Except my hard-working husband who also works out or runs 5 days a week.) Did you ever notice these places give you servings big enough for truck drivers?
One day it happened, though. The kids grew out of the kiddie menu or the sharing idea. So we stopped going out very often. But I know my kids have great memories of those family dinners out, as I’m sure your boys have of their special trips to McD’s with daddy! Breakfast at McD’s: $2 per kid. Making memories with dad: priceless!

Great ideas! My son and I’ll split the deluxe breakfast when splurge on Mc Ds! when we eat out at our favorite Asian restaurant my son gets a $1.95 side of chicken fried rice and that is perfect for him when we add a small piece of meat from both parents meals.
