Change It Up! Plan a Birthday Activity

Birthdays.  Something that happens every year.  Something that could get very expensive. Sometimes, we think that a traditional birthday party is the only thing to do.  
What about a birthday activity?


With sources such as Groupon, Living Social and Deal Chicken...there are very inexpensive fun outings that would be great for a birthday activity.

We had a birthday activity for our daughter, Autumn, who is turning 9 next week.  I found a deal on Deal Chicken for four admissions and skate rental to our local roller skating rink as well as four slices of pizza and four sodas.  She got to invite three friends.  She invited her sister, Addie and two friends from church.  The skating was for 2 1/2 hours and the girls had an absolute blast!

And it only cost me $18.  No cleaning and cooking to prepare for a party. No decorations to worry about.  And just 6 cupcakes that we brought to have while skating.

It was such a great idea that I got one for Sierra's 7th birthday coming up in October as well!  Maybe this will be a yearly event.  LOL!  

Check out your local deals for ideas in your city!

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!
