This is what I have to help avoid Concession Stands!

For the last four months we have had basketball tournaments nearly every weekend (both Saturdays and Sundays). Can you imagine buying snacks at a concession stand for the entire family for two days ALL DAY? That’s insane! Call me cheap, frugal or whatever you like. What you can’t say is this woman wastes her money.

The Money Jar

This jar was for arguing and YELLING. If you raise your voice, you pay $1. If you argue, you pay $1. I’m not sure how your household works, but I realized as a mother of boys that I’m exhausted by 6:00 am from all the yelling (mainly myself) and arguing. Most mornings I hear, “Euh, you spit on me, brush your teeth somewhere else.”
