Kids Eat Free!

by Mimi Jenkins

January 14, 2009

I know, we're all pinching pennies and looking for ways to save. And when it comes to dinner times, hopefully, we're planning our meals and cooking in ... most of the time. I know, I know... sometimes, Mom (or Dad) just needs a break from cooking! Well, here are some places around metro Atlanta that have "Kids eat free" specials.

The Child In the Mirror

by Mimi Jenkins

January 13, 2009

"Twist me and turn me and show me an elf, I looked in the water and saw.... Myself" from Brownie Girl Scout's Initiation pledge. When I first read the theme for today's national list topic, this was the first thing that came to mind. I can remember so clearly my Brownie initiation and how exciting it was. I felt so grown up! Anyway, I digress... Kids love looking at  Read more...

Let's Have a Tea Party!

by Mimi Jenkins

October 09, 2008

I love my coffee, I really do. But being married to a Brit and living in the U.K. for four years, I have come to love my tea. I know, I touched on Tea Parties last month .

by Mimi Jenkins

September 19, 2008

It's Friday again and that means another FFFN in Atlanta. Tonight we'll be at the Kennesaw Elementary School's 100th year Celebration . All are welcome, but I realize that not every one wants to make the trek up to my neck of the woods on a Friday night! So this post is all about ice cream. It's a fun thing to do with the kids, relatively cheap and it gets the kids all hopped up on  Read more...

Kids Who Lunch

by Mimi Jenkins

September 18, 2008

Today Savvy National Site is all about the Kids Lunch table. There are lots of sites and resources about what to pack for kids lunches (I like iLunchbox.com ), what type of lunchbox to get (we have the Laptop lunch system and we love it!), and so much more. But I'm not going to talk about that today. I know not all preschools have a lunch program so quite often the kids are out of  Read more...
