Rise and Shine is my way of starting the day with you – almost as if we’re chatting over a hot cup of coffee or tea! I share my favorite deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help you save time, money or energy. Published in the morning on Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! Monday, Monday! I think a lot of my Western Washington friends should be wrapping up school. This weekend was gorgeous here in Northern Idaho! We had the kid’s birthday party yesterday and so much fun. It was 94 degrees and nothing but sunshine. Our kids have birthdays 3 years apart, so we often do a tandem birthday party – at least as long as they’ll let us! Their birthdays aren’t actually until the last week of July/early August – but it’s just easier to send out invitations the last week of school and have it right after school gets out – so we don’t have to track down kids during summer time.
Instead of paying a big “party fee” at a local venue we invested in the Banzai Slide ‘N Soak Splash Park from Kohl’s. After coupon and Kohl’s cash we paid around $165. The local skating rink birthday packages (for example) start around $149 – per kid! At least with the slide we have it to use again and again – instead of paying for a rental fee that we won’t see again. The kids had so much fun.
We had Nerf gun battles, Foosball (bought the table for $35 at Goodwill a few months ago), a bean bag toss, a lemonade stand where they could get free Otter Pops and candies, a pool (bought on clearance for $10 at Target in February!) and a unicorn pinata (bought for $8 on sale from Amazon). I picked up a sheet cake from Costco ($18.99) and we decorated it for both kids. We put together party favors from the Dollar Tree. And we had the party between 1:30 and 4 p.m. so we wouldn’t have to feed kids a meal (but had chips, cookies, watermelon). All these thing kept the birthday pretty frugal while still creating a fun experience for our kids to hang with their friends. How do you save on kid’s birthday parties?
How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun? I’d love to hear about it.
