Groupon Features Family Friendly Deals

7/25/2017

By: Amy

Once upon a time I was a single young woman with only myself to worry about. I made my own money and could spend it wherever I wanted after bills were paid. Fast forward a decade or so later and now I have a family to take into consideration. The family and especially the kids always come first. This means we have to tighten our budgets and many of the fun extras have long since disappeared. As a result we use Groupon frequently so that we can save extra money and still be able to take advantage of good deals and opportunities. Groupon always has great deals including ones for Amazon , Babies R Us, and even Target, which of course we use frequently to order diapers, presents and anything else we need to have immediately. We absolutely love all the deals we are able to take advantage of and it is because of Groupon that our family is able to save money on things. Check them out and see if some of your favorite retailers have deals going on that you can take advantage of us as well. Happy Shopping!

Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge 2017
By Molly

I was invited to attend the Scholastic Summer Reading Tour on July 5th at the Brewster Book store as a way to kick of the Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge. My son (almost 5y), daughter (almost 7y) and I arrived at Brewster Books about 30 minutes into the drop in event and were instantly welcome by one of the Scholastic employs and directed to my contact person. At her table were tons of freebies like samples parts of new books, stickers, bookmarks, character masks and book lists. Then the kids got their picture taken with a virtual Clifford (add into pic afterward) and props of their choice. There was also a character prize wheel to spin; prize included pins, Harry Potter poster (which my daughter was thrilled about), and Captain Underpants poster along with other things. After browsing the book they had for sale we got a VIP tour of the Scholastic Tour bus which has a table by all different authors including Peter Reynolds. My kids also got to take pictures with the three guest authors that were there signing their books; Blue Balliett, Eric Luper and Josh Funk. There was also a drawing table with fun coloring sheets and how to draw your own pictures.
