Great Deal On Stay-cation 5th Person FREE $750 ALL-INCLUSIVE
I love the great outdoors and with our budget even tighter this year we will be taking advantage of local staycations. Not only are staycations convenient but they can be very economical.
| “A staycation (or stay-cation, or stacation) is a neologism for a period of time in which an individual or family stays at home and relaxes at home or takes day trips from their home to area attractions. Staycations have achieved high popularity in current hard economic times in which unemployment levels and gas prices are high.” |
I contacted a highly recommended white water river outfitter and negotiated a great price for a group (12-19) of us to experience an all-inclusive 3 day white water experience. I was so impressed with our trip and the great deal we got I couldn’t keep this to myself. For MomsFirstStop.com readers, this summer ONLY, I negotiated a sweet staycation:

February “Things To Do”
Momsfirststop.com is looking for fun cheap to free things to do. If you would like to share a community event or a great idea that our readers would appreciate please send email me, angela@momsfirststop.com
February 2009
Since February is the month dedicated to love I came up with some fun cheap to free things to do with the ones you love. Making time for your spouse and friends is hard enough as it is and to compound the outing with the expense it is nearly impossible to get out the door. Here are a few fun ideas that are easy on your wallet and fun for you.
1. Be a patron of the arts.
A trip to the local theater, ballet, museum or symphony can be an inexpensive and fun way to spend an evening. Look for shows or events at your community theater, a performance school or a local university. Some events even may be free! FREE Photographic Arts Collective Student Exhibition
FREE Boise Philharmonic Backstage with the Artist
2. Play board games.
No time to plan? Have a game night! Play cards or another favorite game that adults love. To get out of the house, find a local restaurant or bar that has a weekly trivia night. Better yet, kick out the guys and kids and host a poker night for all of your girlfriends.
3. Take a cooking class.
Sign up for a cooking class with your friends. Learn something new and catch up with the girls. Margie Davies (davies5009@aol.com), owner of “Thyme on your hands” has a special Valentines Day offering if you would like to avoid the crowded noisy restaurant scene. There are also great classes offered by the local parks and recreation that include cooking, dancing, and other fun classes. Boise Parks and Rec Activity Guide
4. Hold a clothing swap.
At the start of a new season, ask your friends in advance to bring any of their unwanted clothes, shoes and accessories to your party. Let everyone sort through and pick out the items she wants. Donate any unwanted clothes to charity. It’s a fun, free way to update your wardrobe.
5. Go for dessert.
Get your girlfriends to dress up and go out to a restaurant just for dessert. You’ll avoid paying for an expensive dinner but still have a special night on the town.
Murphy’s has the best “mile high” Mud Pie and an awesome happy hour (2 for 1 drinks and apps) 4-7pm M-F noon-7pm Saturday. Sign up for their newsletter MVP Club, and receive special offers.
6. Host a spa night. Nothing says girls’ night like a spa party.
Give manicures, pedicures and facials. Serve fun, healthy drinks and turn on some chick flicks. If you want to go all out, hire a masseuse to give massages. A spa night is a great way to get pampered and spend time with the girls.
Planet Beach is offering a FREE DAY AT THE SPA for you and a friend. Just click the link for your free spa pass!
