Free Activities for Mother's Day

In looking around at the schedules of events in our area, I tried to place a special focus on activities for moms.  I would have thought I would find more things to do, but I guess you're just supposed to make Mom breakfast in bed, buy her flowers, and let that be enough.  Here are a few things I have found, but please email or comment if you know more:

• Reiman Gardens has free admission for all mothers on Mother's Day.  We've gone to this event many times.  It's a great outdoor activity, plus the butterfly garden is terrific.  This year, their focus is on lawn decorations, and our family previewed the garden last week.  They have gnomes all over decorated by local schools and organizations, plus the world's largest concrete garden gnome.  There are plans for many more fun displays of lawn art, but my favorite part was the bottle trees.

•  Another activity that I've found is a Mother's Day open house at Wild Birds Unlimited.  There will be free refreshments, door prizes, and free gift wrapping.
• Still looking...check this post later.

Wednesday's Best

I'm catching up on Glee while I type this, so I'm sure the typos will be flying. I do have some great deals to share, though, so I'll try.

• This deal from Bath and Body Works is for today only, and it is only online.  They have the signature classics for $6, and they're re-releasing some of the retired scents.  If there's anything you miss from their lineup, check out the link to see if it's there.  If you look on the left sidebar of the site, they list all the other sale items.
• Today's TV on DVD deal at Amazon is for FX series.  I see the Shield complete series and seasons 1-4 of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.  Other DVD deals here.

• A great giveaway, and a great blog!  She does amazing things with kids' lunches and bento boxes, and I've been reading her for years.  She's giving away a prize right now, so do some comments, like her on Facebook, follow her on Twitter, and learn a lot in the meantime.
• Snapfish deals!  They have 3 great photo gifts for $5 each right now, use code 3FORFIVE to make an 11x14 poster, 4x6 photo magnet, or 5x7 flipbook.  OR get 25% off photo mugs with code TRAVELMUG or 2 extra pages free in a photobook with code 2PAGE.
• Babylegs is having some great deals for Cinco de Mayo!  You are only able to use one of the codes, so choose what helps you save the most.  15% off with code CINCO, $10 off $25 with code OLE, 50% off Fresca and BocceBall with code MAYO, 25% off the Cool collection with code OFERTA, or $5 off $15 with code DESCUENTO. 
• FREE camisole from Lane Bryant!  Print here.  Also notice the $10 0ff $50 code on the same page.

Running out of time for posting, but I will be back later with more.

Amazon Tuesday TV Deal

Today is CBS day for the DVD deal of the day, and they've got pretty big savings for some of CBS's top shows.  NCIS is pretty tempting at that price for 6 seasons.

     


Check back in tomorrow for more great shows.  NCIS is actually $89.99, not sure why it shows the higher price in the picture.
