Today until noon, you can go down to the Spectrum and for $25 you are welcome to take home whatever you can carry. If anyone does this, please leave a comment and tell us what you got.

This weekend the Variety Club of Philly is doing their weekend at Sesame Place. Only $25 per family! And it’s not too late to get in on it. Last minute is even better, because you have a better idea what the weather is going to be like.

This offer is only available to Special Needs families.

We went in the spring and are planning to go tomorrow. Supposed to be chilly, but that’s ok. At that price, I won’t feel bad if we don’t stay all day. Money saving tip: Pack your lunches! I found the food there to be very pricy.

And speaking of special needs kids….have you voted for IDEAS in the Pepsi Challenge today?

Ok, I don’t often use this blog for personal gain. I get very, very little money from advertising (about $1/month, seriously) and other than the occasional referral link, there’s no other gains. 

But now I am asking for personal help. You’ll see on the right hand side of the page, I’ve installed a new button. The group IDEAS supports families living with dup15q which is what my son has. I’m on the board and one of the fundraising chairpersons. We just found out this morning that we are in the November Pepsi Refresh contest.

Please help us by voting. We are a small organization and need all the help we can get. You can vote online and by texting. You can also install a Facebook app if you’re on Facebook and vote that way. All the information you need can be found by clicking the button I’ve installed.

Most importantly–you can vote EVERY DAY in November.

Thanks in advance. We now return to your regularly scheduled bargains!
