Carry a Disposable Camera in your Diaper Bag

Time flies and your infants grow and develop new skills almost overnight. Be prepared to capture developmental milestones and unexpected special moments by storing a disposable camera in your diaper bag. Then save yourself a trip to the store by sending your camera to an on-line photo developer for convenient and inexpensive prints, cards or photo gifts.

Dinner

Request Curb Side Service

Tired of fast food and waiting in lines? Many of your favorite restaurants offer curb side service so you don't even have to get out of your car. Call in your order before you leave the office or your child's activity and pick up your meal on the drive home.

Living

Attend a Farmer's Market

Take advantage of the beautiful weather and spend a morning at a local farmer's market. You can enjoy local and seasonal produce, baked goods, crafts and more at locations such as the Tempe Farmer's Market, the Scottsdale Old Town Farmer's Market or the Ahwatukee Farmer's Market.

Parenting

Request Progress Reports

Don't wait until the end of the semester or school year to discover your child is having challenges in school. Be proactive and request progress reports from teachers and staff members. These reports provide an opportunity to discuss your child's performance and to take the necessary steps to help your child improve in a particular subject area.

Stock-Up on School Supplies

Stock-up on school supplies at Back-to-School sales at Target, Staples and other local retailers. Prices for the same items will be much higher later in the school year.
