This Frugal Family

My son, Jacob, got his Comfy Kids a few weeks ago, and he’s in love with it.  Wears it all the time.  He says it’s comfy, cozy, and keeps him warm.  I love that it’s so soft.  Jacob is 8, almost 9, and though it says ages 4-8, it fits him with lots of room to grow.  There’s also a pocket in the front.  He usually has the hood on, but he was trying to look all handsome for his photo shoot.  And, he gives it a big Thumbs UP! The Kids’ Comfy comes in Blue or Pink. The Comfy also makes these for Adults, as well.  I will be investing in one, as soon as this Pandemic is over.

We received Blo-Rockets from Stomp Rocket, and my 8 year old loves it.  My mom was playing with him, before we got put on lockdown.  It’s so much fun, sitting there and watching them play.  They had such a great time.  And, they made up their own version, besides the 4 games that are included. You can play with Blo-Rockets in the house, because it’s just Styrofoam, and won’t break anything sitting around.  Like I said, my mom and Jacob, had such a grand time playing with these rockets. Stomp Rocket has been around for over 25 years, and that’s about how long we’ve been playing with their products.  You can run, jump, stomp on the original Stomp Rocket.  But, Blo-Rockets is different.

Mardi Gras marks the end of Carnival season. The Carnival season begins on January 6th, the Epiphany and lasts until the day before Ash Wednesday. In French, Mardi Gras means “Fat Tuesday.” The day represents the last hurrah of sorts leading up to the start of Lent, the 40 days of fasting before Easter. Pope Gregory XIII made Mardi Gras a holiday in 1582 by adding it to his Gregorian calendar the day before Ash Wednesday. The LeMoyne brothers brought the holiday to North America in the late 17th century. Mardi Gras is celebrated around the world. In Ireland, England, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, it is also known as “Pancake Day.” The holiday is celebrated by eating pancakes and participating in pancake-themed activities. The first Mardi Gras celebrations took place in Mobile, Alabama in 1703. The city hosts the second largest party after New Orleans. The first Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans took place in 1837. It wasn’t until 1857 that floats appeared in the parade. If you’re going to ride on a float in the Mardi Gras parade, you’re required by law to wear a mask. The tradition of wearing a mask started to rid society of…
