1. Visit Stevi B’s Facebook page

Home Depot: Window Bird Feeder

Not sure how I feel about inviting birds to our yard. Sometime today, one or more birds have swiped the strawberries out of our garden.

At this moment, my 4-year-old daughter is NOT happy with them. If she decides to be kind and we attend this event, then we will place our bird feeders in the front yard away from our backyard garden.

If you want to welcome birds into your space, then the Home Depot Kids’ Workshop project may offer enjoyment.

April’s Workshop

On Wednesday, March 28, 2012, McDonald’s is offering their small McCafé Frozen Strawberry Lemonade for $.25 from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Having heard about this promotion via a television advertisement, I looked on McDonald’s web site and Facebook page for an announcement and found none.

Before heading out, I recommend calling your McDonald’s to verify this promotion, which might be regional.

My children are going to love this after-school treat, especially when they get to make a trade with Mommy’s quarter. 🙂

Enjoy!
