Hi there– yes, everyone is bombarding you with “Save Big!” and “Buy Now!” but please, for the love of your bank account, stick to your budget. Don’t go nuts just because it’s Christmas. For Angie and I, our largest expenditure is on our kids. We have picked out a few gifts, determined a budget, and are now almost done with our shopping for them.

This year, we’re trying to spend more TIME with our children than MONEY on our children. And making that even easier to do is KC Edventures. Here’s their awesome compilation of holiday happenings around KC. Enjoy!
