I love sharing ways to spend less, so families can do more! My passions are cooking, late night TV and being amused by my witty husband and three kids.
Everyone forgets that there is so much in their own state or neighboring state that they don’t know about and think they have to go far away to have fun. I mean, I know far away places better than my own state! Plus doing this is cheaper. Thanks for compiling this list!
