If you are like most parents, you want to raise your children well – to develop their mental and physical aspects completely. Most people know that music education helps grow children’s brains. Studies show that scores on tests like the SAT are better from students exposed to music lessons. Go To a Retail Music Shop.

If you have the knack with your DSLR, a photo session would be a perfect idea for new parents, soon-to-be high school or college graduate, or a family portrait. If so, give the gift of organizing a closet (or 2), kitchen cupboards, a basement, garage, etc. Make a personalized music cd. Give your Gift of Organization.

Many of the other items I needed like cloth diapers and clothes for the baby in bigger sizes I bought from garage sales. They may also enroll in other baby classes like music and swim lessons. Some people were very angry that these parents didn’t spend money on their kids. We Love to Spend Money on Our Children.

Will it be a crafts camp with several different projects, a cooking camp – with the grand-kids planning, shopping, chopping and cooking a meal (with your supervision and suggestions of course), a music camp – with each of you playing your instrument or all of you learning new songs together? Hold a garage sale together.

Remember, there are lots of other parents out there in the same predicament of trying to manage a family budget while giving their kids as many opportunities and experiences as possible. Sometimes parents donate the goods but often you will get the price they sell for, with the club keeping a small percentage as a fundraising activity.

Parents already know that back to school time is the second most expensive time of the year (right after the holidays). I love to shop garage sales. Use cash (yours, your parents or other cash that can be had). If your child is wanting to take music lessons, think about renting the instrument instead of buying.

I remember as a kid watching home movies on a large screen at my parents and wanting to watch a regular movie on it like in the theater. Featuring two built-in 10W stereo speakers, MegaPlex can be used separately for audio only – perfect for playing your favorite music while the kids play outside on those warm summer days.
