Tip Tuesday: Have a Family Fun Day on the Cheap

Let's face it; this economy is tough on everyone right now. Even so, we still want to provide our family with a day of fun without breaking the bank. How do we accomplish this? Check with your local library. Many libraries offer free passes to local attractions such as museums and other places of interest in the area. This could help you save big, especially on gas/travel expenses because it's in your own town. Save a little more by packing your own lunch, snacks and drinks and use a little bit of spending money at the gift shop for the kiddos instead of those expensive food carts.

Just be sure to plan your trip ahead of time and check with your library on how many free passes you are eligible for. Know that if they offer free admission of 4 per family and you have a family of 5, then you will have to pay for 1 ticket.

Extra Tip: If you have one or more extra people, use the free passes on the adults (check the rules and exclusions on your particular pass) and pay for the children's tickets if you can. Generally speaking, a child's ticket is usually cheaper than an adult ticket.

Tip Tuesday: Just Do It!

Really quick and easy Tip Tuesday this week. This is advice that I have decided to take on myself as well. JUST DO IT! Be the kind of person that does and not the kind that only dreams of doing. We all get one life and no matter what people think about you it doesn't matter. It's all about how you feel about yourself. Don't let anyone hold you back from your dreams or your passions. Put yourself out there and start your own adventure.

 

 

Sure, we all make mistakes and it can be scary to go out and try something new; learn from them. Don't let anything stop you from growing and learning because in the end, you will be filled with regrets. Maybe you have always wanted to learn a new hobby...go sign up for classes. Maybe you have always wanted to dance...turn up the music! The point is that you are the maker of your own happiness so get out there and ENJOY!

 

 

I hope this Tip Tuesday will inspire you to try something new or something that you have always wanted to do. To be notified of more Tip Tuesdays, be sure to LIKE my page on Facebook at Mayday1101 (click here). Have a great day everyone! :)

Tip Tuesday: Pretty Up With Pink

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a major weather person. By that I mean, my mood can be brought down by dreary days and a cloudy sky. The same is true if it is too hot; it makes me tired. I don't know why I am that way, but I have been as far back as I can remember. I enjoy being outside so I'm not too happy that I get that way, but I can either sit and sulk or do something about it. Because of this, I have found a few ways to get myself out of that mood and on with my day.

On those days when you just feel under the weather or tired, try to lift your mood by putting a little bit of pink on. Whether it is a touch of blush, some lip gloss, jewelry or even a piece of your wardrobe; the added color is sure to bring a little pep to your step.

By wearing a pink blush or lip gloss, you have a more awake and lively look to your face. Be sure to keep it light because pink can be overdone. As for an outfit, you can go several different directions. A hot pink is great if you like an edgy look. Or you could even go with a soft pink for a softer more feminine look. Oh, the possibilities!

Here is one day look and one night look to give you a little inspiration to throw on some pink.

Tip Tuesday: Get Ready For Summer Break With the Kiddos

If you work from home or are a stay-at-home Mom, then summer break means break for the kids and more work for you. lol I mean that in the nicest way possible. Let's face it...kids are a lot of work and they want all of your attention. It makes getting your work done that much more difficult.

A few tips to help:

Plan a summer schedule. Things are different now from Monday through Friday during the summer. You still need to get your work done, but your kids need to be entertained. Find some creative ways to keep them involved in an activity while you get your work done. Arts and crafts are always a good idea.

Take a break. All work and no play, well, just sucks! lol Don't push off your work until it's crunch time, but make sure to take some time to enjoy these moments with your kids. They aren't kids for long and as they get older, it won't be as easy to get them to want to hang out with you. You know how it is...parents are lame.

Work Hard. Play Hard. Enjoy!
