A few years ago I found a great free magazine called "OC Family and IE Family". I was sitting at the local subway when the magazine caught my eye. I looked through it and found several great coupons. One was buy one get one free offer to a local smoothie place. Another coupon was buy one get one free to a Train Park in the next county. I immediately took several copies and started tell my neighbors. I felt I had found gold or money. I have two kids and buy one get one free offers are great for me. It means that I can do more field trips with my kids and spend less while doing so.
This month on OC Family they have the shining students of 2011 article. But the best thing this month on this issue is the article on "The importance of play". I really believe that kids need lots of park play time and unstructured play time. My belief comes from my happy memories as a child. I still remember picking blackberries from the backyard. I loved playing endless hours in the back yard with bugs and sticks. Exploring my surroundings and all that was nature. Those were the moments that bring a smile to my face. Being free to play without being afraid of being loud or afraid of breaking things in the house. Being outside was a complete joy. Being free! So I recommend you read the article and take note of all the websites they suggested.
You can also find great coupons. For example: Buy one get one free for a train ride(Irvine Regional Park), $5.00 off to the Discover Science Museum, $30.00 off Wild Rivers party package and where to find coupons to "Circus Vargas" (Round Table, Papa Johns, Baskin Robbins).
So have fun this summer and look for coupons to save on your field trips. You can find the magazine at your local subway or ocfamily dot com
