The Curious Mom

If you ask me what my favorite memory is as a child, I always say without hesitation the yearly trips I made with my family to the beach for New Years. We would stay in a cabin right across the beach with some friends and I literally lived in my swimsuit for a whole week. We would eat delicious food, build the best sandcastles, go fishing, get dunked by waves every other day, and my dad would take out his guitar and we would sing together.

I’ve always relished those memories and have always thought that my parents gave my sisters and I a valuable gift by taking us on that yearly trip. Now that I’m a mother, I’ve tried to do the same with my children, and I love hearing them reminisce about our trips. And it’s not just the memories, going on vacation as a family has so many other benefits. If you’re thinking about taking a break or need to feel closer to your family,  family travel could be a good option for the following reasons.

When you are a mom one of the toughest things in life is to find a way to balance your checkbook. Just try as you might, it is incredibly tough to find a way to have all of the things that you and your family need while still coming in under budget every single month.

If you find yourself falling back into the category of living paycheck to paycheck, you need to start getting crafty about how you go about getting the things you want. No one here is suggesting that you start cutting back – but rather that you start looking into solutions to get whatever it is that you want for a lot less.

If you want to get started on this adventure of getting the clothes you want for less money, then you know you need to give up cruising around malls. Giant shopping malls exist to slowly rope you into making purchases of items that you did not actually need. When you end up buying items from store windows that are “on sale,” or even those that are in the “clearance” rack, you simply end up with a bunch of gear at retail price that appears to be marked down. These items are often those that the store needs to sell, anyway. Your first step in saving money is to start shopping online.
