Ways to Save for Family Vacations

I love going on vacations with the kids - I want them to be world travelers and see beyond their backyard.  We just got back from a wonderful European vacation last week to see my family (I grew up in East London and hubby wanted to do a Guiness and Jamison tour in Dublin).  This was the kids first trip abroad with their brand spanking new passports.  So we cashed in our Mastercard miles (that we had been savings for 5 years) and my husbands frequent flyer miles to score free airline tickets for all four of us.  We stayed at my brother's house (free accomodation) and we ate breakfast and dinner at my parents each day (free food).  I went online to scope out discount tickets and free things to do with the kids.  I always sneak my 3 year old into tours by saying she's 2 (free ticket).

Last year we took the kids to Disney World.  We stayed on the Disney property so we could be part of all the action and this was a once in a lifetime trip for us as a family.  As you all know Disney World is not a cheap trip by any means.  I booked our flights when a great deal came by and booked through ebates to get cashback on my purchase.  My 2 year at the time had free entry.  I searched online for all the Disney hotel discount codes available, my sister in law had old entry passes that were transferable which helped tremendously (free entry tickets).  We took in our own food and drinks and found great websites to help reduce our overall bill.  There are so many websites out there that gives you advice on what to do and see and all on a great budget.

So I'm now thinking about a Disney Cruise maybe in 2 or 3 years time.  Click here for a free planning DVD - and then figure out what you want to do and then go online and figure out how you can reduce that enormous bill. 

Taking a family vacation can be a great educational experience for your child.  My children know that England has a Queen and her Palace is closely guarded by Guards who carry bayonnets with spears attached and they know all their Disney Characters.

 Where there is a will there is a way.  Where will you go tommorow?

Win a $25 Gift card for your Childs Favorite Teacher

I have always loved school and I always think fondly of my teachers throughout my school years.  Not only have they played a big role in teaching me what I needed to know to get me to where I am today educationally but have helped guide me on the right path and were great role models.  My Kindergarten, PE, Art and Biology teachers are a few that I would love to see again and thank. 

As a working Mum, my children have been with teachers from an early age.  We've been fortunate that the kids have such great teachers every year.  Every Christmas I send my children to school with a gift bag filled with a pamper spa kit which consists of toiletries from my freebie shopping and a small gift card.  The teachers love it as they get to try out new products and I get to unload my stockpile ; ). 



Mudpies and Butterflies wants to encourage parents to take the time to thank a teacher in their child's life. They've even released a video dedicated to showcasing how important teachers really are.
Check out the video here - its an awesome compilation.

Mudpies and Butterflies is a private and secure social network for school communities to allows parents and administrators to connect, communicate and access shared resources. They make it easy for any school to build and maintain a web presence while encouraging parent interaction and supporting fundraising efforts. It was created by educators who see electronic communication as a powerful tool for building an active, local parent network.

Unfortunately, many teachers do not get the resources to help them to be their best and so next time you are checking your freebie stockpile pack a few up in a giftbag and thank your children's teacher or maybe pack a few freebie school items up for the class.  Even a quick thank you note or how are you doing in the morning goes a long way.

Thanks to Mudpies and Butterflies, one Freebie Junkie Reader will win a $25 Visa Gift Card to show appreciation to their child's favorite teacher.

Hosting Free Parties

I love to host parties and playdates - best of all I love to get freebies for hosting the parties and some of them compensate you too.  So here is what I've signed up for lately.

I just received confirmation that I'm officially a MyGetTogether host for their Chex Mix Snacks “Game Day” get-together, where we can sample a trio of flavorful and fun Chex Mix Snacks during the big game. Mix and mingle with Chex Mix!  I intend to use this during my Philadelphia Eagles tailgating event.  Sign up here to be a MyGetTogether host.

I'm hosting a Thai House Party this weekend - I received my pack and its filled with Thai ingredients for my Thai tasting this Sunday.  I'll post pictures later.  Sign up here for houseparty.com.

I just signed up to host exclusive house parties for a broad range of companies.  As a host, you will invite other moms in your community – and on occasion their kids – to participate in a fun-filled party! Child’s Play will create a detailed party package that includes information on the line, specific party ideas, product samples and ideally coupons…how cool is that?!  plus they will compensate you!  not sure if that means money but I'm up for it.  Click here to register.

The following are not quite sign ups for hosting free parties but I thought I'd add it in as I do love reviewing new products:

I'm a Bzzagent and I get sent products to try and in return I spread the word and usually there are free samples and coupons to spread the love too : )

I received my Ideal® No Calorie Sweetener mission from Smile.ly the other day.  All I have to do is come back online and share my feedback on the product. Sign up here to partake in a Smile.ly mission.
