The Kid Blender:  A Single Mom’s Attempt to Find Joy in an Unexpected Life
February 8, 2012 – 8:00 am | 3 Comments

In this series of blogs, the “Kid Blenders,” I will be addressing our challenges, trying to blend our two families together. The names of the children will be changed to spare the easily embarrassed. And let me be upfront about this: I’m no clinical expert. I’m just a single mom trying to figure life out as I go. But knowing that there are around 14 million single parents out there…I’m guessing that I’m not alone in this venture.

Denver Deal:Sniagrab, Garbanzo’s, Michael’s Arts & Crafts

I am a magazine junkie.  I love getting a new magazine stuffed in my mail box.  It is usually something just for me – and not something unpleasant like a bill.  I subscribe to a lot of magazines but have found the site BestDealsMagazines.com where I can get national big name magazines for really cheap!  There are several great titles that are only $4.69 for a whole year!  (That is what the newsstand price for one single magazine is!) Plus, once you visit the site they often send out emails good for an additional discount! 

Sniagrab!

Last week I let you know about the SkiRex trad- in program at Colorado Ski and Golf.  This week, I’m letting you all know about Sniagrab (Bargains spelled backwards) at The Sports Authority over Labor Day weekend – starting on Sept 4th (plan ahead now).  They tout 75% off retail!  There will be doorbuster deals, prizes and bonus bucks.  And this event has been going on for 56 years! 

Garbanzo’s

One of my most favorite fast-casual restaurants, Garbanzo’s is opening a new location on Wednesday, September 1!  The newest location is a 2466 South Colorado Blvd.  Opening day there will be activities and prizes including a spin-to-win and a tote giveaway for the first 100 people on Friday. Saturday, the first 100 guests will receive a Garganzo T-shirt.

Grandparents Day Celebration!

Did you know that Grandparents Day was coming up?  (me either!)  Michael’s Arts and Craft store is ready to help you celebrate with a fun free craft.  This Saturday from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. capture the kids handprints in Crayola Model Magic (while supplies last) and voila your kids win brownie points with the grandparents remembering their special day!

Lowe’s Build and Grow

If you’re feeling crafty, you can also go to Lowe’s for the Build and Grow project. Each Saturday from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., Lowe’s will help your kids build a wooden project (this weekend it is a school bus).  All the kids get a free apron, goggles, patch, and certification of merit when they finish the project!

Labor Day Weekend

Next week I will round up all kinds of fun for Labor Day weekend.  YAY!  I love Taste of Colorado almost as much as I love a three-day weekend – oh, wait they go together!  Email me if you know of some great deals or events.

Email me if you know of any great Denver deals!
