Research says that you remember experiences more than things. That is why I always try to create a fun experience for my kids each summer. It may not be an extravagant trip (I usually can’t afford that anyway), but a special picnic, a free concert, a hike to the mountains (check out the Merrell event), paddleboarding at Chatfield, or even stopping at the Tiny Home Festival and talking about what it might be like to live in a tiny home! There are so many great ways you can create an experience for the summer for your kids all at little to no cost.

Tiny Home Festival. When I have had the opportunity to camp in a camper with a friend – I thought “sure, I could live in a tiny home.” To see the amazing things that people have done with tiny homes go to the Colorado Tiny House Festival back for the sixth year on June 25 & 26. Plus, Mile High Mamas readers can score $5 off a ticket when you use this link.
Merrell Hiking Event. Yes, I may gush over my Merrell shoes. They are sharing the love of outdoor fun with the “Good Things Come to Those Who Hike” event Saturday, June 24 at Echo Mountain. Trails selected for all fitness levels, outdoor activities (yoga and forest bathing), planting station, survival and backpack packing clinics and a ton more! Plus, your ticket gets you lunch and trail snacks and raffles all day. It is $10 for adults. Kids free.
Old Navy Flip Flops. I may be able to live in flip flops nearly every day of the year, which is why I love the sale going on right now at Old Navy. Just $2 for flip-flops for the whole family. There are some super cute designs and enough colors that you could have a separate pair for every outfit! Old Navy is also having a sale 50% off active wear.
Amazon Book Sale. Did you know that Amazon started as a bookseller? That is why you can find almost any book you want from them. Right now, they are having a buy two get one free sale (no promo code necessary). So stock up on some great summer beach reads.
Firehouse Subs Name of the Day. Firehouse Subs is back at their promotion where they post the name of the day and if you have that name, you can score a free sub. While Firehouse Subs is one of my favorites (hello Hook & Ladder), they NEVER put the name Gretchen. I hope you have better luck than I do with that.
