This Frugal Family

My 6 year old has never built a model before, so when he received this Scooby Doo Bi Plane Plastic Model Kit, he was super excited.  He and daddy sat down about 2 days after receiving and put it together.  It’s so cute, and sitting in his room, right now. Take off into a SCOOBY-DOO spoooktacular with the Revell® Build and Play™ SCOOBY-DOO Biplane model kit. You don’t have to paint it or glue it. Just snap it together and set out into the clouds! It goes together in a ghostly shadow of the time it takes to build a conventional kit, but still looks totally groovy. Kit features pre-decorated pieces, SCOOBY-DOO, SHAGGY, and VELMA figures, spinning prop, functioning wheels, twin machine guns, and easy to apply stickers. There are plenty other models, as well, but this one is so cute, and it’s a Snap Tite Model.  If you look at the manual, found on the page tagged, you will see it’s all snap together, which would make it easy for children, Jacob’s age.  He loved doing something fun with his daddy.  They usually build stuff, but this was special, because it’s now Jacob’s to keep.  I’m going to have…

We were recently able to share a Grandbox with Jacob’s, my 6 year old’s, grandparents.  They loved it.  Cute snacks, and a game.  A game we had never played before, and Jacob was thrilled to play it with grandma. It’s called Tenzy.  Each player gets 10 dice, and the first person to get all the same number, wins.  Jacob couldn’t wait to play, so grandma, of course, played it right away with him.  There were also my mom’s favorite cookies in the box, along with cooked apples and a few other things.  Including pictures of the family, having a good time. You can check out Grandbox, over on their page.  You will love this subscription box.  You can order by 3, 6 or 12 months, or even Month to Month.  It’ll bring a smile to any grandparents face.  Especially when their grandchild wants to play the games with them. My 6 year old loves the box as much as his grandparents.  I couldn’t have asked for a better box.  One that pleases everyone in the family. Here’s some of their story: We created GrandBox to help families, friends, parents, and grandparents stay connected no matter where they live.  We sent…

John Ross Jesensky is a wonderful composer.  I have a newfound love for his music.  My 6 year old even loves it.  We listen to John Ross Jesensky for hours on end.  While playing, Jacob has always loved listening to music, but this music is different from the pop/rock that Jacob has listened to.  It’s more in depth, and calm. There is so much information about John Ross Jesensky’s career, on the page listed above, and I find it intriguing. From His Story: It should be quite obvious that music is a central component of my life, and it has been that way for as long as I can remember. I have always been deeply interested in every aspect of music and composition, and I often find myself intently focused on those natural rhythms of life that so frequently pervade our subconscious. As a result, I have committed myself to the creation of music that both inspires and entertains.  Read more here. To His Music: When I meet someone for the first time and they learn that music is my profession, one of the first questions I am asked relates to my musical influences. This is especially the case if someone has…
