The Best Birthday Parties Happen in Chuck E. Cheese!

When you think of childhood birthday parties, what comes to mind?  For most of us, we think about balloons and clowns and lots of goodies.  I would be willing to bet too that for most of us, there is a specific location that comes to mind as well, the place that comes to mind for me is Chuck E. Cheese’s.  That’s for a good reason, Chuck E. Cheese’s is America’s number one place for birthdays and has been for a long time.  I would be willing to be that many of us remember our visits from our childhood, or at the very least, the fun commercials that used to come on TV.   In fact, Chuck E. Cheese is celebrating their 40th Birthday this year and they want you to celebrate your child’s birthday along with them.

As a Mom of 6 kids, time is something I am always short of, and of course it’s even worst when the kids are sick. I don’t know about your Family, but in mine; when one kid gets sick they all follow suit. This is why I truly believe in the title of my post: A Mother’s Lifeline- Amwell Medical Services

I remember when they were very little, I used to panic all the time and rush to the emergency rooms with all 6 of my kids, oh the memories of having all the kids miserable for no reason. [Read more…]

The holidays are getting closer and closer and they usually stress me out. With a house full of kids and even more family and friends on our gift list, I am usually a crazed ball of nerves by the time the holidays are over. This year, I decided to make a change. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired of the holidays. Heck, this is supposed to be a joyful, happy time of year. Well where’s my joy and happiness? So, I made a firm decision to not let myself get overwhelmed or stressed out this year.

Free child’s pancake from IHop during October

Free child’s pancake from IHop during October IHop

Free Child s Pancake From IHop During October

Yes, it’s valid, Free Child’s Pancake From IHop During October.  IHop is having a great promotion for the entire month of October.  A free child’s large pancake for them to make a scary face with.
Limit 1 per child, Dine in only.  There is NO limit on the number of children you have, or the days you attend,

As you may have guessed, I have many kiddos, so not only does any “free child’s meal” offer sound great; but it’s even better when it’s for the entire month AND no limit on the children you have with you.  This is definitely my favorite October treat.

This is a great after school treat, or a weekend brunch treat; or in my children’s opinion:
It’s an EVERY DAY after school treat (so they wish)
