Where to eat out with Kids for CHEAP! And sometimes even free!
I mean the best answer is obviously…DON’T TAKE THEM! But, when you have them, they expect to be fed like 3 times a day with at least 50 snacks scattered throughout that time. It can be exhausting. Then you have to clean up after them, which is basically a full-time job. Am I right?! So, when I can successfully wrangle them all up and go out to eat as a family; It is a welcomed time off for this mama. Actually, my job shifts from chef and bus boy to clown as I try to keep them quietly entertained until the food comes. But it can also get pricey. So,…

Free and Cheap Date Ideas in LA
As parents to 4 young kids, it is important essential, to keep that romantic spark alive and going. We are huge proponents of “dating your spouse!” Yet we tend to be boooooring when we date. Like the typical dinner and a movie. But it is usually just the movie. And sometimes it’s just a movie at home in our jammies. But who really watches movies when you can re-watch The Office for the 9th time? However, we also enjoy a good full day out in the “city”—otherwise known as L.A. (when we can get away from the kids for that long with babysitters and work and well, life). When we…
