Guest Blog Alert! A Memorable Summer On A Budget

For those families who are excited about what summer has to bring, watching the budget is often a big concern. When the cost of traveling is simply out of arms reach, parents should plan to make the most out of their summer staycation time. Being a little bit creative can go a long way, especially when it's often the only option.

Parents should make certain that all of the picnic and day trip gear is up to date and at the ready. When short trips and sunny days at the park will be frequent, being prepared will make it that much more enjoyable. A cooler that will accommodate the whole family, plenty of functional chairs, and disposable plates and utensils should always be ready to go.

Checking with area amusement parks and other local attractions will generally pay off. Discount passes for frequent visits, or price breaks for large families are usually available. Some credit card companies also offer cash back promotions at amusement parks like Six Flags.Inviting neighborhood kids and adding moms as chaperones will also secure reasonably priced tickets.

Most communities understand that saving money is important in today's economy. Often times community centers or local civic groups will plan bus trips for parents and children who want to catch a baseball game, or visit an attraction that is a few hours away. Parents who put their heads together can even plan their own bus trips and hire a charter company to take care of transportation.

There is no need to let a beautiful summer pass by. Fun on a budget, is still fun!

FabKids.com Review

I have been a member of FabKids for a few months. Fabkids.com is a unique clothing and accessory club for your little girlies! When I first came across the online club I was so excited to get started and purchase my first order for my daughters. The fact that the monthly cost is $39.95 for a a top and bottom was a bit of a let down, but I felt that the added bonus of a hair accessory compensated slightly. How it works? You log onto FabKids.com and create a "style profile" by taking a quiz. This is in order for the stylists to have a better idea of the type of outfits you and your daughter will like.

The outfits on FabKids are uniquely designed with sometimes radical style choices in mind. Th...
