ReplyDeleteGreat list! I shared a link to it in my post on frugal backyard fun. Is anyone doing the Philly area?
ReplyDeleteBarb - I was surprised that Philly and Pittsburgh weren't included, but Happy Housewife and Springs Bargains put a call out on twitter several weeks ago for bloggers from all over to participate. The idea would make a fantastic post for you, since there is so much to do in philly. Thanks for your comments.
ReplyDeleteMelynda - Thanks for the comments.
This summer starting today I am going to take the kids to all the hiking places all over our city. There's so many and we have never taken advantage of these before. I don't want the kids to be on the couch all summmer and I am in complete control of that. Thanks for the ideas and motivation!
