Free Bowling for the Kids!

Great idea to help with those bored kids this summer! Free bowling! Go to this site:
You can search for participating centers at the website. If there is one near where you live, you can sign up and put in any children under 18. Each week, you will receive coupons for free bowling for the children. The coupons are good for the bowling only - shoe rental is a separate cost. Some centers will let you buy season shoe rental passes for a reasonable price. My local center charges $2.00 per rental, or $20.00 for a season pass. If we would go 10 times, the pass paid for itself and any visit after that would be "free" shoe rental! They also offer a family season pass for $24.95. This pass is good for the adults in the family and will allow you to bowl whenever your kids use their coupons. For families who love to bowl, this is a great deal! For everyone else that just would like something to do with the kids here and there, the free bowling coupons are still a great deal too! That's what we did, and can't wait to use them!

Be sure to check your local centers' available bowling times and any other rules they may have. My local center started the free bowling program in April already, and it goes until September.

Also, you can add Kids Bowl Free on Facebook for additional giveaways: Kids Bowl Free.

Finally, for anyone local, Lighthouse in West Bend participates in this program. I also just received their summer schedule from them. It looks like they have some fun things planned for the kids for this summer. I was most interested in their Thursday preschool program for kids age 3-6. For $7 a week, the kids can bowl, make a craft, and do other activities. We may have to check that out as well! You can find the Lighthouse Entertainment Center's website here.

House Party

I wanted to post about this since I've been chosen for two parties so far and it's been a blast!

If you go to House Party, you can see the various house parties that you can apply for. Basically, companies will give you FREE products if you're chosen and then you hold a house party and share the products with friends and family. I've been chosen for a Clairol party, and also for a DiGiornio party. Both boxes of goodies were awesome - free hair color, free samples of bath and beauty products, free pizza, an apron, and great coupons just to name some of the great offers. It was really fun, and I recommend it to anyone who would love free products and loves having parties.
