AUGUST FREE & CHEAP EVENTS (August 8- August 14) | Entertain Kids on a Dime
Hello Everyone! I have prepared the calendar for the weekend. The Ribfests and Festivals are still happening. I am going to be alone with my kids as my husband is very busy with work. I am debating which of these fun events I should tackle on my own. I will tell you that the Woodbridge Farmers Market is very small and very cute. I went there last weekend with the kids and they had art activities and a fabulous face painter. I bought the most delicious cinnamon butter honey. I bought it for the kids but I am the one that keeps sneaking tastes from the fridge. Have a great weekend everyone and enjoy the last month of summer with your families!
