Chilly weather is on the horizon here in the southeast. The cooler temperatures along with the rain gave me a reason to wrap myself in a blanket while watching football games this past weekend.

If you are struggling to get up and get moving on these chilly mornings, then plan to leave a bit early for the next two weeks.

McDonald’s is offering FREE McCafè coffee during breakfast hours from September 16-29, 2014.

For those of you, who love your morning coffee, allow McDonald’s to brew you a fresh cup each morning for FREE these next two weeks. Enjoy!

Our family enjoys visiting museums from art and historical to science and nature and a great opportunity is on the horizon.

Providing a possible FREE family activity, Smithsonian Magazine presents Museum Day Live! on Saturday, September 27, 2014.

Participating museums across the country admit two guests with a Museum Day Live! ticket for FREE.

Slightly different from past years, your FREE ticket is available to download once you choose the museum.

Also, some museums will accept your ticket on the screen of your smart phone.

To get your FREE ticket, follow these steps:

  1. Create or login to your account
  2. Select your state
  3. Choose your museum
  4. Download your ticket to print or to show at the museum

Each ticket will admit one person plus a guest. The tickets are a limit of one per e-mail address. If you need 4 tickets, then register with 2 e-mail addresses (e.g., personal and junk e-mail account). Read the ticket closely as some museums are limiting the offer to one Museum Day Live! ticket per household.

Check with your chosen location for FREE admission for children. Some museums offer FREE admission for children ages 12 and under. For those museums participating but closed on Saturdays, check their website for an alternate day to use your Museum Day Live! ticket.

To prepare for a fun, inexpensive family outing, create or login to your account, select your state, choose your museum, and download your FREE ticket.

In using time wisely, plan ahead by ordering your ticket now and scheduling time with your family and friends on Saturday, September 27, 2014. If your plans change and prevent you from attending, then no worries as your ticket was FREE. Happy planning!
